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. |

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

New rule:
* Don't edit pages. 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. (edited by NSNick on 01-17-06 04:13 AM) |

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 should have saved my ultimate strategy.
BTW, that was how I found the other two 3-step routes for GoldenEye 007 --> Sydney Opera House. |
