A wise man once said that everything on Wikipedia can eventually reach philosophy by clicking on links.

I say that everything can reach Kerbal Space Program simply by following links on each page.

The objective is to get to KSP in the fewest amount of wikipedia links possible.

Example:

  • START: Robert Bales links to...
  • 1. United States Army links to...
  • 2. United States links to...
  • 3. NASCAR links to...
  • 4. List of NASCAR video games links to...
  • 5. NASCAR SimRacing links to...
  • 6. Racing simulator links to...
  • 7. Space flight simulator links to...
  • 8. List of space flight simulator games links to...
  • FINISH: Kerbal Space Program

I'm going to try that later. I also tried, and yes, you can in fact get to philosophy by only clicking on the first link on a wikipedia page (take the next one if you've already clicked it). I tried. I also think that there is a xkcd about it.

EDIT: Yes, it is in fact here: http://xkcd.com/903/ (the mouse over text)

Edited by 1001sd
Added xkcd link.

Felicity's Diamond Jim (Random Article) - English Springer Spaniel. He was the 2007 Best In Show winner at the Westminster Dog Show.

  1. Bill Cosby
  2. Civil rights movement
  3. United States
  4. Space Race
  5. Spaceflight
  6. Orbiter
  7. Kerbal Space Program

It seems as soon as you can get to the United States article you get an easy run in.

... or even better:
