You may or may not of heard of the wikipedia game. It is fairly simple - given a start page in wikipedia, you must navigate to another page. You are only allowed to click on links in the page that you are currently on - no use of the "random page" link will be allowed.

When you have found a path from the start to the finish, you post it here, with the path that you followed. The first person to provide a path will be awarded points as such:
1 link - 55 points (that is, finding a link on the start page that leads to the end page)
2 links - 45 points
3 links - 36 points
4 liks - 28 points
5 links - 21 points
6 links - 15 points
7 links - 10 points
8 links - 6 points
9 links - 3 points
10 links - 1 point
11+ links - no points

Once you have posted your path, you must then provide a new start and finish page. Points will only be awarded for the first path that is posted here. An example turn would be as such:

Your start is A little girl in old pittsburg
Your finish is Oxygen

A little girl in old pittsburg>Pennsylvania>Lake Erie>Lake>Angling>Fish>Gill>Oxygen
7 links=10 points for me

The following pages are not allwed to be used (may be updated if easy-to-exploit pages become known):

That's part of the game - you have to balance how long you spend finding as short a route as possible with the likelihood that someone else will post a route before you.
