Six Degrees of Wikipedia
Okay, there's this new facebook group that I joined, which is also a game. It's called Six Degrees of Wikipedia, and you can probably already guess how it works. People post challenges and answers. When people post a challenge, they post two words or subjects, and then people have to find the link between them. So they check the wiki pages, and you have to click on links to 'link' them. I think the way it works, for 6 degrees, is that the two items are also part of the 6 degrees. So for example,
Milkyway --> toothpick
can be solved as
Milkyway --> Earth --> Wood --> Toothpicks, and that counts as 4 links. You can't go from Toothpicks to Milkyway, you have to do it in the order chosen by the challenger.
I think sometimes the challenger finds the answer beforehand, sometimes they just pick two things and that's the challenge. Anyway, I solved a few challenges, and now I posted my own challenge, with my own TWO different answers, and nobody has solved it yet:
Command and Conquer --> Jada Pinkett Smith
There are several pages for Command and Conquer (command & conquer is different than command and conquer)... so I'll give you the links.
From this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_and_conquer
to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jada_Pinkett_Smith
stumped? well, here's something to get you started... although I don't think it works, haha.
1 - Command and Conquer is a series of games, including the 3rd C&C, C&C Tiberian Wars.
2 - Tiberian Wars features actors and actresses, including Grace Park, from Battlestar Galactica.
3 - The president from Battlestar Galactica is ... umm... that Mcdowell lady.
4 - That McDowell Lady is the first lady in Independence Day.
5 - Independence Day stars Will Smith.
6 - Will Smith is married to Jada Pinkett Smith.
7 - Jada Pinkett Smith.
That's 7 links, so it doesn't work. But anyway, if I found two solutions, you can probably find them, or some other ones. If you want, you can post a few challenges too. It's a fun game, if you have nothing else to do, or if you like clicking random links on wikipedia.

I sometimes make a similar challenge for myself when I want to look up something on Wikipedia. The challenge is that I can only follow links starting from the main page.
