      Seeing this, I now wonder what’s the longest possible chain of “State1-named city, State2; State2-named city…” you can create.

      Someone should ping Matt Parker or someone who knows how to code such a lookup program :)

        That sounds right up his alley actually.
        Might have to avoid the Texas / New York loop though.

        No need for Matt Parker, just anyone who can program and has a textbook covering graph algorithms. Actually the graph is probably small enough it would be easier to do it by hand than to code a solution.
