For reference, everyone is 3rd degree at a minimum.
- 1st - You’re directly connected with them
- 2nd - The person is connected with a person you’re a 1st degree connection with
- 3rd - People that are not connected to any 1st or 2nd degree connections (I.e. everyone else)

Maybe I’m missing something, but 3rd degree would be the person is connected with a person you’re 2nd degree connection with, right? That’s why Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a thing.

You’re correct. 3rd-degree connections are friends of friends of your friends

LinkedIn only uses 3 degrees. The theory you’re talking about is that mathematically people should be connected within 6 degrees, but the number of degrees you go with is arbitrary. In LinkedIns case they use them to classify people in one of three categories as it relates to you.
