Hellooo
![]() This is the Wikipedia Game, held twice a week. Results on Sundays and Wednesdays. The concept of the game is starting at one page on wikipedia, and then getting to a random one, only by following the blue links on the page. For example, the task might be: "Cheese" and then have to get to another page like "Adolf Hitler" by going through ONLY the blue links on the article. To get to this I went from: Cheese --> Sheep --> Lamb --> Australia --> World War 1 --> World War 2 --> Adolf Hitler I'll give you a subject, and a place it has to go to, and you have to do it in as little blue links as possible. As there is no way to test you are cheating, I will instead limit you to find the shortest route, but you can only submit ONCE and can not change your answer. I'll announce the winner every Sunday & Wednesday, and then have a new challenge. I'll have a tallyboard below of the most wins & people's points ![]() RULES: - Don't need to sign up or anything, just post your answer on here... you don't have to do it every time, but whenever you're bored really! ![]() - Submit ONCE :] - Don't clog this thread up with loads of quotes and talking :P - Once you've posted you can NOT edit how you got to it. - If someone has already found a route, you have to find ANOTHER one. no copying :P... basically don't copy any contenders first/second step HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Challenge: Georgia Nicolson to Oxford university Person One: Georgia Nicolson --> Eastbourne --> East Sussex --> Kent --> River Thames --> Oxford --> Oxford University. [6 STEPS] Person Two: Georgia Nicolson --> Brighton --> Universities --> University Of Oxford [3 STEPS] Person Three: Georgia Nicolson --> Manchester Grammar School --> University of Oxford [2 steps] Person 3 won this round, so they get 10 points, Person 2 came 2nd so they get 7 points, and Person 1 gets 5 points. 10 POINTS = 1st place ![]() 7 POINTS = 2nd place ![]() 5 POINTS = 3rd place ![]() LEADERBOAR ![]() Marctierman: 10 points (1 time win) Sam1994: 5 points (1 time runner up) Rory: 6 points (1 time third place) Z: 5 points (1 time booby prize winner and.. as he posted at 1.05 pm.. :P) BOOBY PRIZE: if you get the WORST score of everybody in the round, you get points. The Points of this prize will vary week to week, from 1 point to 100.. :P. I announce the amount of points after each game before I have counted people's scores. Random Pointage: If people get 2 links or under they get 10 POINTS ADDED. If they get 17 links exactly, they get 7 points. Previous Challenges 18th Sept - 21st: MSN to Germaine Greer - Marc wins. ROUND TWO Germaine Greer to The Amazon Rainforest SO FAR: 1st place: Sam1994 and Marctierman - 3 steps 2nd place: Z and Jack - 4 steps 3rd place: |
