Soapboards Does Wikipedia

This is a nice, easy game everyone can have a go at.

This is a game i have spent many a free lesson playing with my friends at college. Its quite addictive.

Basically, i am going to give you the links to 2 pages on the website Wikipedia. You have to make your way from the 1st to the 2nd, using just the links on the page. In other words, you have to click the links within the text on the pages to get from the 1st page to the second.

For example..

If the 1st page was "Sky" and the second was "Wales", i can get from the 1st to the 2nd by using this chain of links;
Sky
Aircraft
World War II
English Channel
Great Britain
Wales

The first person to post a chain of links they used to get from the 1st to the 2nd is the winner.

There is no prizes for this- its just for fun, not formal or anything like that.

However, to make it a bit competitive, i shall create a leaderboard as we go along.

Be warned, i will post new ones whenever i feel like it. If you're not around when i post it, so someone else has already gotten it by the time you get online, then sorry, but you'll just have to wait untill next time!

Any questions, just post them up in here, or PM/Email me. Otherwise, let the game begin!

The first page is Tourism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourists)and the second is Saxophone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxophone). Please post your chain of links (Like i did above) in this thread.

Good luck!

No doubt there was an easier way but:

victorian era > social institutions > British Empire >Military > Commonwealth > Canada > Judiciary > United States Govenment > Law enforcement > Sheriff

Yep, well done! Got a bit confused at the beginning though, i couldn't quite figure out where the links where. Got there in the end though!

I did it differently, as usual;

Victorian Era > Rural > Police > Sheriffs

Next one in a bit, again :)

Fun game. Can we not make it so that you have to try and find the shortest combination. Give a time limit on it though of whatever, just whenever I see these, they've been done :lol:.
