Here's a really silly game. You pick two wikipedia articles that are unrelated, and try to get from one page to the other only by clicking links within the articles. Your score is the number of clicks you need to get from the first article to the last article.

For example, I clicked random page a bunch of times until I found two unrelated pages on topics I was familiar with. Specifically, Touchdown Celebration and Americans in Japan. I started from Americans in Japan, clicked on 'United States,' then 'American Football,' then 'touchdown,' then 'touchdown celebration' in the see also section. In this case, I earned a score of 4.

It is quite possible to get a different score depending on how efficiently you choose links within each article. I think a score of four is unusually low for this game, and that's probably because the two random articles I chose were actually kind of similar. Here's a more challenging one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggplant

to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippe_top

What score will you get?

Ah I wasn't thinking about a game. I just meant a program that calculates the shortest path between an article with another hence "beating" the game.

Nice one, I completed the first one:

1) "Food energy" in the nutritional information
2) "Chemical energy" in the intro, let's get more fundamental
3) "Energy" in the thermodynamics section
4) Classical mechanics
5) Euler
6) "List of things named after Leonhard Euler"
7) "Euler's disk"
8) "Tippe top"

Tada.

Now I've got one (hard mode):

Factorio -> Video game -> eb games expo -> australia -> music of australia -> the masters apprentices -> Glenn Wheatley -> Beechworth Correctional Centre.

Got to Australia faster but still 4 to go after that.

So it turns out, this game has been implemented on a website and times you to see how quickly you can find your way from the starting wikipedia page to the final wikipedia page:
