The Wikipedia Game.

Grats to Tom who won last week's contest by virtue of being the only one who tried.

This week, you must link from Unicron to Radical Islam (Islamic Fundamentalism). My magic number is 4 links.

  4. Oh, and Tom wasn't the only one who tried last week's, but I couldn't find a shorter route than what he took, so there was no point in putting up the routes I did find.

  5. But Tom, ours are the same length, you just didn't name the Unicron.

  7. Cheater! Tom is disqualified! The rules specifically state "no fair editing wikipedia."

  8. Hmm, "This page was last modified 17:56, 9 February 2007." What was that about "no fair editing Wikipedia"?

  9. Lighten up. It was funny.

    TBF has to have won, b/c I checked just about every link on that page and none of them refered to a page on the What Links Here page for Islamic Fundamentalism. Therefore (unless I missed the one magical link) there is no 2 click solution.

  11. Actually, Blue Fox, if you'd stop to read the original post for 5 seconds, you'll note that the game asked you to link to Radical Islam, which (on Wikipedia) redirects you to Islamic Fundamentalism. Technically, The Phantom is the first one to link to the required URL, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_Islam, vs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_fundamentalism. I just let everyone else's entries slide because they are, in fact, the same article on each URL.

  13. Man, the guys on wikipedia keep removing my Wally Burr-Islamic Fundamentalism comments. I think I'm going to start a massive campaign on the internet defaiming his name and calling him a terrorist just so I can correct the record on wikipedia.

  15. This game is a little easier than Scavengeroogle (sadly defunct for over a year now).
