The Wikipedia Race thread!

Here's how it works:

The person above you will give a start page and an end page. (For example, start page is "Panama" and the end page is "Sea Lion"). You have to start at the given start page and get to the end page using ONLY the in-text links. The point is to do it in as few clicks as possible and as fast as possible.

For example...

Start: Roger Federer
End: Internet

Go to the Roger Federer article, click on U.S. Open, click on United States, click on Internet (found under culture). Boom. 3 clicks.

When you finish, post how many clicks you did it in (be honest :p ), then supply a new start and end page.

I guess I'll get the ball rolling.


Start: Apple (the fruit)
End: Stephen Hawking
 
That was a pain.

French Revolution > United States Declaration of Independence > United States > Baseball > Major League Baseball > Boston Red Sox


The Corsac Fox to Immortal (Norwegian Black Metal band)



Corsac Fox > Fox > English > Norwegian > Norway > List of Norwegian People > Dimmu Borgir > Black Metal Musical Groups > Immortal :D


Ok, my turn. Next up: Lactic Acid to Leo Fender
 
Guns N' Roses > Metallica.

I am telling Major Metal on you.

PS, know it's late but i had to step outside before i could post:: Volcano > Mound > Mound builders > Native North American peoples > Aztec > Cocoa > chocolate > Hot chocolate. I hope i can do as good on Midterm next week for history of Mexico class. :D

This game would be much harder if you could only use "see also" links. :D
