[COLOR=Navy]This is a pretty cool game thread.

It took me a while since this is my first attempt but I got:

[B]Treaty of Versailles>World War 1>Australia>Dreamtime>Wagyl[/B]

Now....try [B]Extra (gum)>Jujube[/B] I think that's 6 or less, depending on how it's done.[/COLOR]

[QUOTE]Slam dunk > Confucius[/QUOTE]

[SIZE=1]Hehe, I knew it would easy. I just needed to associate basketball to Yao Ming. Well this is how I solved it:

// START Slam Dunks > Basketball > Yao Ming > China > Confucianism > Confucious //END

This is fun! I'll edit this post with my puzzle in just a second.

Ok! Now connect these two:

[COLOR=Navy]Ooooh. I don't know how you count 6 links, but I did it counting the arrows.

[B]Cocteau Twins>Drugs>Medicine>Nervous System>Brain>Central Nervous System>Hypothalamus[/B]

Now, connect [B]Optic stalk[/B] to [B]Ulysses (novel)[/B] [/COLOR]

[font=trebuchet ms][b]START // Optic stalk[/b] >> Eye >> Evil eye >> Folklore >> Oral tradition >> Odyssey >> [b]Ulysses (novel) // END[/b]

Seven articles, but six steps. That's how it works, right? If not, someone else can get it right for me. ;)

Ah yes, and for my next trick...

[b]START // Hippopotamus[/b] >> Sunburn [3rd paragraph of "Characteristics"] >> Hat [linked as "hats", 1st paragraph of "Protection:Skin"] >> Category:Hats [right down the bottom] >> [b]Tin-foil hat // END[/b]

Here's one to try ... I got it in four steps (i.e. five articles, including the start and finish).

[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue][quote name='Jeebs][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg]Cyborg[/url] > [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mask_%28film%29']The Mask (film)[/url][/quote]I only counted the actual links I clicked on so if that's acurate I did this in five steps which are:

Cyyborg (starting page) > Superhero (first link) > American comic books (second link) >List of films based on American comic books (third link) > The Mask (fourth link) > The Mask (fifth link) > The Mask (destination page)

Alright here's the next one which I got by clicking on four links.

Siberia > Earth > Geothermal (geology) > Hotspot > Yellowstone Hotspot > Yellowstone National Park > Yellowstone National Park

Here's the next one then:

[COLOR=Navy]Gotcha:

Next is:

Couldn't think of anything, and I'm pretty sure it's possible to make it in 6 moves.[/COLOR]
