Time to play Six Degrees of Wikipedia!

[XemaSab]

Hillary Clinton to Siamese cat, in three steps.

[YDogg]

1. Hillary Clinton

1. Jimmy Carter

2. Amy Carter

3. Siamese cat

[XemaSab]

2. Well done!

That's a different path than I was thinking of, but it works too!

The path I had originally constructed was Hillary Clinton -> Vast right wing conspiracy -> Get Fuzzy -> Siamese cat.

Now you post one! :bounce:

[YDogg]

3. Six Degrees of Wikipedia ...

... from Phillips Petroleum Company to Vince McMahon.

:-)

[XemaSab]

4. How many degrees?

Here's my stab at it:

Phillips Petroleum Company -> US Supreme Court -> United States -> Sports in the United States -> Amateur wrestling -> Wrestling -> Professional wrestling -> WWE -> Vince McMahon

That was like, 8 degrees there. :P

[YDogg]

5. aw, dang. I miscounted. but I had seven. which I guess is not the point of the whole thing.

Phillips Petroleum Company

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7. Vince McMahon



Three of the five remaining degrees are people. Sorry for my lameness!!

[XemaSab]

6. Here's another shot:

Phillips Petroleum Company

T. Boone Pickens, Jr.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Andy Douglas

NWA

WWE

Vince McMahon

:D

[YDogg]

7. works for me. I had

Phillips Petroleum Company

Waite Phillips

Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery

Truman Capote

Infamous

Sandra Bullock

East Carolina University

Vince McMahon

[XemaSab]

9. Sandra Bullock comes off of infamous?

:P

[YDogg]

10. Sandra Bullock was in the movie Infamous, based on T Capote's In Cold Blood

IIRC

[XemaSab]

11. Ah ok

:D

[XemaSab]

8. And another one: Mammoth to Bagpipes in three degrees

:P

[YDogg]

12. Well, I got this close ...

Mammoth

1. La Brea Tar Pits

2. Scotland

3. Bagpipes

... but it only worked partly forwards and partly backwards for me. I can get from mammoth --> Scotland and from bagpipes --> Scotland ... but no further with these exact terms either way (unless I edit Wikipedia). :-)

[XemaSab]

14. I did it slightly differently

Mammoth -> Tusks -> Ivory -> Bagpipes. :D

[YDogg]

15. doh!

I used to dig Daredevil when I was a kid. Owned every issue from 100 to something like 150 or so.

[Duer 157099]

22. Was that the path you took?

I've never played this game before but it was fun(ish). I'm thinking a version where people try to get a lower number using different paths.

But which path did you take?
