So I thought this would be a random ass game we could play. The theory is that every single page of wikipedia takes 6 or less clicks to link you to Adolf Hitler. For example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dung_beetleDung beetle -> New Zealand -> Great Depression -> Adolf Hitler Only takes 4 clicks to get to Hitler Your first challenge is to find how many clicks it takes to find how many clicks it takes to find Hitler from this article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_EarlOnce you find it suggest a new article and the cycle repeats! Edit: It is possible!

My Name Is Earl -> Espionage -> World War II -> Hitler. 4 is as low as I got it so far. Try finding it from Higby... Lynn Carlton Higby, that is, the former U.S. federal judge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynn_Carlton_Higby

We played this a while back on another forum I frequent. It's kind of interesting. Random article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki_Thunder H. Thunder-> Deutsche Tourenwagen Meistershcaft -> BMW -> Luftewaffe -> Hitler Even shorter is H. Thunder -> DTM -> Germany -> Hitler

Surprisingly easy. "" -> Sri Lanka -> United Nations -> WWII -> Hitler Try it from the other great dictator of history, the Ice King. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_King

Mirigama Divisional Secretariat > Sri Lanka > Democracy > Dictatorship > Hitler Got ninja'd. Anyway Ice King > Monarch > Unification of Germany > Nazi Germany > Adolf Hitler There's probably a shorter way. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanogen_bromideCurious to see if this will go through WW2, or something else.
