A new game that I may have invented, but I'm sure someone's thought of before.
Go to Wikipedia and search for some random article, say 'cake'. Now think of something else eg. 'Japan'. Using the links contained in the body of the articles, you have to try and get from the first thing to the second thing in the fewest possible steps. It's surprisingly easy and quite addictive.
I did the above example in the following way:
Cake > Madeira cake > Madeira Islands > European Union > Europe > Asia > Japan
There might be a quicker way than that though. Have a go and post your favourite ones.
