Number of names

This is equivalent to asking for the longest path in a directed graph, which is an NP-complete problem. That doesn't rule it out as a task, but running it on a graph with 646 nodes might take too long. Also, since it seems to be rare to use external files to store the data (or at least I haven't seen many tasks that call for that) having all the names in each example would get really cluttered.

Re input data; I can always host input data if that makes it convenient to work on appropriate data. --Michael Mol 23:12, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
