Wikipedia random article challenge

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've seen this on some other forums, a particular wikipedia article is given, the challenge being to go to the wikipedia home page, select random article and using only links from that article (highlighted blue within the article text so that you can click to go to that article), the challenge is to get from the original random article to the given article in as few articles as possible.
The first one I select is for former Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh.

My steps are

Hurwitz class number
Adulf Hurtitz
Zurich (City)
Association Football
Rugby League
Australia
Melbourne Cricket Ground
Australian National Cricket Team
List of Australian test cricket records
Steve Waugh

Thinking we could let this run for a couple of days and whoever produces the shortest number of articles between random start and destination picks the next target.
