 |
|
Choose two random & unrelated topics, people, events, locations, objects, etc. Start with one, and using Wikipedia hyperlinks only, try to navigate to the other.
Ex: Kimchi -> Mt. Everest:
kimchi -> ginger
ginger -> India
India -> Himalayas
Himalayas -> Mt. Everest.
4 degrees of separation.
First person to find a "path" gets to choose the next target. Shortest path wins.
Mt. Everest -> Shakespeare |

I suck at this game. I bet somebody can do it in less than 7 degrees of separation. |

I think it should not count, as it could be considerably easier. But it is a good way to get two separate competitions out of one. I had a good Lou Ferrigno-> kimchi path that I constructed by going backwards, then I realised that wasn't fair. |
