A Wikipedia Experiment

[TacticalAssassin1]

Once I clicked random article and said to myself "from this page I will get to the page for the bushfires in Australia" and got there in 5 clicks.
I think the page was of an american ship-america-australia-victoria-bushfires

Easy as pi

Go to Wikipedia and search up wood. Now,without using the search bar,get to the page of Evil Dead (The first one). Do you think this is possible? Try it with anything else. Is it easier? Tell me.

Well i did it in 9 clicks

Try getting from arithmetic to spontaneous combustion

arithmetic->science->fields of science->chemistry->spontaneous process->thermodynamics->heat of combustion->combustion->spontaneous combustion

8 clicks.

hmmmmmmm what about Misogyny to The List of Characters in Fire emblem: Seisen no Keifu

This one was trickier. Misogyny->Stoic->Logic->Logic(disambiguation)->Logic Studio->Apple Inc.->Computer Software->Video Games->Video Game Genres->Fire Emblem->Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu-> List of Characters in Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu

11 clicks

that is bullshit

Wood > Weapon > Personal Weapon > List of Melee Weapons > Chainsaw > Chainsaws in popular culture > Evil Dead 2 > The Evil Dead


can probably be done a lot quicker, but that was my path

 

[Mosine]

here should be a hard one for you guys, go from vagina to death star in 10 clicks or less

vagina->scabbard->sword->star wars->death star

4 clicks. Don't underestimate the power of wikipedia.

 

[DracoSuave]

So, wood to evil dead:
Wood->Lumber->Lumberjack->Chainsaw->Chainsaw in popular culture->Evil Dead.

5 steps.

I got to Star in like 2 clicks, but the disambiguation doesn't involve star wars or the death star, sadly... gimme a little more time and I'll get it

 

[Altorin]

Vagina > Angle > Star > Stars and planetary systems in fiction > Mass Effect > Star Wars > Death Star

getting off the Vagina page was the hard part

and it's a real pain in the butt that I had to tiptoe into Mass Effect to find Star Wars, lol.

So, wood to evil dead:
Wood->Lumber->Lumberjack->Chainsaw->Chainsaw in popular culture->Evil Dead.

5 steps.

Lumberjack, fuck.

I went the Weapon Route, and took 2 extra steps, oh well.

Computer Chip doesn't exist in Wikipedia, the article is Integrated Circuit.

Whiskey

[Altorin]

lol... I saw a link to Viagra, and for a laugh, I wanted to see how long it would take to get to Jesus

Sildenafil (Viagra) > United States Senate > Robert Byrd > Jesus

It seriously didn't take long.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

How about puppies to nuclear warhead?

 

[Mosine]

[Altorin]

I don't think anything links to Thiota.. lol.. I'm trying hard to get even a starting number on my own challenge.

and isn't it a little telling that there is not a single mention of the word Women on the wiki page for Christianity, and only a single mention of the word Woman, and it's in the biblio? lol
