I was just browsing Wikipedia, for the fun of it (yes I am that bored) and just realised how I could be reading an article on something, and about an hour later (after about 5 or 6 articles), I would be reading something else, that would be seemingly unrelated.

As an example, I was reading up on my home state, Gujarat, and then clicked the link for "Alang Ship Recycling Yard", and then the link for "Supertanker", and then the link for "Aircraft Carriers", and then I clicked on the link below the picture portraying "Command and Conquer" showing an aircraft carrier. This last link took me to my "final" destination, the article of Command and Conquer, the game.

Rules:
1. Clicking "Random" when issuing the 'mission' is not allowed. You should have been able to get to on link to another without clicking the "Random" link at any time.
2. Searching is not allowed, unless you need a starting point. e.g.: i searched for the link to Gujarat, but then ended up at C&C.
3. Try making up a link, e.g.: type in "crisps" the search field, and then think of something, and make your way to it.
4. State how many moves your original took
5. Please have only one "mission" running at a time.

Here is one to start you off: start at "Anaerobic respiration" and get to "Sanskrit"

Changes to the rules will be made as more cheaters are found.

Good luck.

P.S.: i suggest noting your original route between the two articles down, in case nobody can find the links.

Hammer: i can't even find your starting article

edit: nvmnd, you have to type in Qin, and not Q'in, otherwise Wikipedia won't find it.

Wow, what fun. Finally, a game that combines the thrill of reading encyclopedias with the excitement of cross-referencing.

give me a new topic title then...

There is nothing wrong with the title really. It was a play on your title....it says "gane" instead of "game". I wrote "lane" instaed of "lame". Hmmm, it kind of loses it's luster when I have to explain it doesn't it ;)
