Okay, next connection:

Generalitat de Catalunya -> Vibration theory of olfaction


This was fiendish.

Generalitat de Catalunya > Spain > Christianity > Christmas > Myrrh > Purfume > Chypre > Luca Turin > Vibration theory of olfaction

I'll wait a few hours to see if someone can come up with a shorter one... Smile

Mine says "Lake Chaubunagungamaug was formed by the retreat of glaciers" with glaciers as a link. No?

yes, but you have to get to the Lake Chaubunagungamaug page through Glaciers, not the other way around. You're working backwards.

(it's ok, I forgive you. Now do mine, do mine!!!)

Incas

Literature
List of Books
List of Best-selling books
To Kill a Mockingbird


That was harder than I thought it would be. This game it great...I learn a whole bunch of random crap every time I play. Yay for knowledge!!

Here's something worth learning about:

Vaginitis --> Ham sandwich theorem

Ahh.... the good old Vaginitis to Ham sandwich theorem challenge....

Vaginitis > Puberty > Breast > Milk > Cheese > Mozzarella > Ham > Ham (disambiguation) > Ham Sandwich Theorem

Kind of long I guess, but I really liked this solution Smile

8 degrees... I'll try for a shorter one before claiming victory

Well, I give up. After trying another route, I got:

Vaginitis > pH > Operational Definition > Stephen Jay Gould > History of Science > History of Mathematics > Pi > Golden Ratio > Bisection > Ham Sandwich Theorem

10 degrees..

No one else is stepping up, so, next:

Fire Fighting Foam > The King of the Copper Mountains
