View Full Version : the Wikipedia Game

Okay, basically what you have to do is get from one article to another using ONLY links within the articles. You can't go to external pages, you can't type anything, or you can't "get lucky" with random article. Oh, and editing articles to link to different things is cheating.
Here's an example.
"Charles Tenshin Fletcher" to "Sellotape"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Tenshin_Fletcher
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textiles
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_clothing_and_textiles_technology
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_invention
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape_recorder
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_head
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermosetting_Plastic
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_tape
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sellotape
Next person will then have to get from "Sellotape" to another word of the previous person's choice - I'm going to go for... DVD.
So.. get from Sellotape to DVD!
P.S. Johnson will claim he invented this game, but he's wrong.
P.P.S. Yeah, I'm bored

Do you have to post all the links you used to get to DVD? I guess you do to prove you never cheated. This will boost SEO too :P

Holy ---- that's a hard one. But challenge accepted nevertheless.

Most of these are super easy and take about 5 minutes to do... You just need to be able to make connections to things...
The last one seemed like it was going to be easy, as both of the subjects were Austrian, but it is a bit of a toughy

There are strategies to optimising this. I am thinking some bored programmer would have a blast with this. I got lucky with "anvil", but my overall strategy was because the Rolling Stones was legendary, all I had to do was hit a "major junction".
As a bonus I'll create a temporary path to somewhere quieter.

Hi Dynash.
My post ended up a little skewed, because I have a bad habit of replying mid way through a thread. Try an easy one:
Fritzl Case to Jules_de_Grandin.
