Six degrees of Wikipedia

May 28, 2008 09:05

I'm a big wikipedia fan. I stumbled across an article on slashdot
http://www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/wiki/
which shows you how many clicks it takes to get from one article to another.
The best I've done so far is 5 clicks. Can you do better?

Shortest path from Eukaryote to Ravenel, Oise:

Eukaryote
Algae
Carl Linnaeus
Paris
Oise
Communes of the Oise department
Ravenel, Oise

6 clicks needed

Ah, you're evil... I just spent half an hour of company time noodling around, trying to best your 5 links. Managed to match your score (with "blastocyst" to "chandler", "ESP", "kennel" or "kern"), but not beat it.

Ah well, I guess that was lunch!
