Using only Wikipedia
For the first post I am going to put CHALK – CHEESE
The challenge is to get from the former to the latter using only internal links on the page proper (not in the sidebars). When you get there, tell us the path, and if nobody can beat that in three days, you will be declared the winner and get to choose the next.
I did a test you can actually do it in two clicks, over to you 😉
November 1, 2008 at 8:16 pm #171976imported_Ven0mMemberI did it the hard way…
Chalk > Chalk (disambiguation) > Limestone > England > English cuisine > Cheese.

November 4, 2008 at 5:07 am #171977PhilipModeratorSo Nessa gets to choose the next pairing, right?

November 5, 2008 at 4:25 am #171953detn8rParticipantSo, I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, but you take the first word, in this case butterfly, and connect it to texas using only internal links?
k… so, lets see…
butterfly > monarch > texas
butterfly > mexico > texasNovember 5, 2008 at 5:35 pm #171966sarahtownyMemberButterfly: Butterfly – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
