A little game- Wikipedia to Hitler

[leo-rcc]

Go to a random article on wikipedia. Click the links in the article and try to navigate via those links to Adolf Hitler. Post all the steps in this thread when you reach the goal.

My first attempts:

1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagerweb
2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Rica
3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germans
4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beverly_%28drink%29
2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coca-Co...ny#History
3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

Be sure to start from the random article.

2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

I've been clicking links for like 20 minutes and browsing through them... with no luck, and so many times I thought I was so close

But then, almost as if to make up for it, I found the above really quick one in two steps! Praise the FSM!

Wow, I have managed to get to Hitler every single time in less than 7 steps.

And the funny thing is, they all almost got to him...

... but then they always ended up on something fucktarded like...baseball! - gah!

The idea is that you can click on any link inside wikipedia.

for instance:

1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westwater
2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westwater_Reservoir
3: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotland
4: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II
5: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

I have yet to find an article that I couldn't reach Hitler in the end.

[Edwardo Piet]

I know that that's the idea.

I spent like half an hour... and I always got really close but not there, and then ended up on something incredibly unrelated, had been all directions and was trapped.

If you're yet to find one where you can't then you've been luckier than I was - have you not been on one of those articles that are incredibly small, say they need more work on them, and have like fuck-all links, yet?

Tell you what, you click on a random link, post it here, and I will post the path.

Like in your example, baseball, all you had to do is click on the link England, in history click to world_war_II, and there is the link to Hitler again.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

That was easy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeks_in_New_Zealand
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greeks_in_Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

I think the average is 4 steps. Seems to be coming up almost every time I do it!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler

Jeeebus!!!

Exactly. Most of the time I get it in 4 clicks.

I still can't do it...

I started with the main article on "Genus"...

Just to note.. - my navigation skills are absolutely fucking dreadfully horrendous...

Just saying
