Here's a game for Wikipedia freaks (like myself). You get two articles. Your goal is to find a way to get from the first article to the second one by linking your way through other articles.

Example:
Go from Mario to Hydrogen
Mario links to Starman (Nintendo), which links to Star, which links to Hydrogen.

Rules:
* The one who does this with the lowest amounts of steps used gets 3 points.
* If two (or more) persons gets the same amount of steps, all of them gets 1 point each.
* If two persons posts the same "path", only the one posted first will be counted.
* You're only allowed to use links found in the article itself.
* You're not allowed to use a link to a site outside Wikipedia.
* You're not allowed to use the "Special:" pages on Wikipedia.
* You're not allowed to edit pages.
* Using the main page is not allowed.
* You have to find a way from the first article to the second. Not from the second one to the first.
* You're only allowed to use the English Wikipedia. The Simple English Wikipedia is not allowed either.
* It IS allowed to base your "path" on other peoples' paths, as long as the one you post isn't exactly the same.
* You may only post one "path" per turn. Edited posts will be DQed if the edit was made more than 2 minutes after the original post.
* You'll get at least 24 hours per turn.

Ready?

Turn 1:

GoldenEye 007
to
Sydney Opera House

Good luck.

Goldeneye 007 to NASA
NASA to Australian Capital Territory
Australian Capital Territory to Sydney
Sydney to Sydney Opera House

Yes. That's correct. Can anyone else manage to reach it in four steps, or possibly three?

NsNick: I can't find the Soviet Union link you used. Would you mind telling me where it is?

The link in GoldenEye 007 is USSR, which links to the Soviet Russia page.

Edit: Redirects, not links.

Well then I'm going back in time and retroactively changing the origional set of rules. See? Not even an "edited by: ||bass" in it. I used an actual time machine.

I found a couple more 3-step routes. Can I get multiple ones for more points?

This should be beaten easily, but:

The Sims > Pound Sterling > World War II > Democratization > Pointy Haired Boss

Took advantage of that pound sign in the Sims price tag!

I hadn't thought of using years! That should be a good shortcut.

I should have saved my ultimate strategy.

BTW, that was how I found the other two 3-step routes for GoldenEye 007 --> Sydney Opera House.
