Six degrees of wikipedia

Here’s a fun idea for a game

  1. Pick a topic you want to arrive at (I chose Atoms)
  2. Click on wikipedia’s random link
  3. Attempt to arrive at your desired topic through the related links alone

Six degrees of separation

I was able to do this on my first try. Tiny Russian province -> Russia -> healthcare -> chemistry -> atoms

Bonus points if you manage to do it in less then six jumps
