@cardiganmimi If there were 5 or fewer people, you can't guarantee there will be 3 mutual acquaintances or 3 mutual strangers. If you think of the 5 people sitting in a circle, assume they are all strangers with the two people to the side of them, but acquaintances to the two people across from them. In this scenario, you don't have 3 mutual strangers or 3 mutual acquaintances. The more you know...
why did you need 6 people?
