:::Do you think that maybe Randall created this comic just to screw with this wiki?

::::Certainly, a real explanation to Randall's ''Name Dominoes'' doesn't need a numbered list or one of these overwhelming tables. A short overview (a small bullet list would be the best) to the rules implied by the image and shown in the title text would be a proper explanation. Everything else is trivia at maximum. And I can't resist: This table, whenever it will be completely filled, tops them all...--[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 21:30, 22 March 2018 (UTC) | ::::Certainly, a real explanation to Randall's ''Name Dominoes'' doesn't need a numbered list or one of these overwhelming tables.

I see alternative names or nicknames sometimes matches together. But is the Chris Pratt/Chris Evans match with Topher Grace a bit of a stretch? I see that Topher is a variation of Chris'''topher''' and Chis is a shortening of the same. But I guess it must be an acceptable move if Randle put it in the comic. Maybe it’s worth special points or something.

I've created a table/spreadsheet of all the numbers, with a,b,c meaning first, second, and third part of name, respectively, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tcxq1Hp3-AcGFrfkv3xRD1wNg9OO12gpN05D1H42-sU/edit?usp=sharing here]. Also, Van Jones is missing in both the numbered image and all text on this page.

− | :Cool. Thanks for pointing out that I failed to number the tile after 249. I'm now correcting the image adding this as number 250 and correcting the numbers after that. Ad1217 could you update your spreadsheet, and would it be OK to add a picture of this to the explanation? (I spotted an error in your spreadsheet as well, as you have used 286b rather than 268b at the bottom, but correctly used 268a --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 09:55, 23 | + | ::::Cool.

Does anyone else see the connection between "Six degrees of Kevin Bacon" and the fact that this picture is basically a network/graph?

I wonder if Randall used an algorithm to build this. It would be interesting to generate dense domino packings automatically. Does he have an official github account or similar? --[[User:Quantum7|Quantum7]] ([[User talk:Quantum7|talk]]) 08:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC) | I wonder if Randall used an algorithm to build this.
