On any wiki page, there's a button on the left side -- "random article". Click on that, that's your starting point. From there, how many links do you have to go thru before you get to the Jimmy Buffett wiki page? Kinda like six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

e.g.,

You start with Tequila. Click on the Margarita link. From the Margarita page you click the Margaritaville link. From there, the Jimmy Buffett page. (just my example, I don't know if those actual links exist)

2. MCA Records
3. Irving Azhoff
4. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
5. Jimmy Buffett

Not much luck getting there in 3 links!

This Wilcopedia activity is fun.

I tried again last night. Every random article was dealing with biographies of Serbian nationals, 4 in a row! Not much to work with there, I had to give up.
