A Wikipedia Game That Is Utterly Addictive

This morning, before work, I came across an interesting Wikipedia game. The game is very simple. You start with a search term (in my case, I chose Wendy’s) and click to another Wikipedia article from that page and see how many it takes you to get back to your original topic. You can’t cheat and go back a page if you don’t like where your headed. Take a look at mine and see how I tried to get back to Wendy’s quickly and it just wouldn’t work. Of course, I HAD to finish. It took me 45 pages to get back to the Wendy’s page. A lot of fun. Try it. You’ll be glad you did. Imagine Six Degrees of Separation but with it taking many more than six pages. I’ve seen it done in a dozen. Try to make the next page or two completely off topic. It makes it more challenging.
