Paid Members JNLister Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 So somebody's made a thing that finds the shortest path between two Wikipedia pages, and now I'm trying to stump it, Googlewhack style. https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/ Your challenge is to put in a page to do with wrestling and a page on a subject not to do with wrestling and try to find a pair with as long a 'shortest path' as you can find. For example, you'd think early 80s education secretary Keith Joseph and Starrcade 93 would be many links apart, but it turns out to be only three: Keith Joseph > Lloyds of London > Ric Flair > Starrcade 93 But Curly Watts to DC Drake can't be done in any less than four, such as: Curly Watts > Stella Price > Manhattan > Philipsburg NJ > DC Drake And I finally found a five with: Brown sauce > Republic of Ireland > American Samoa > Professional Wrestling > NWO > Randy Anderson  So can anyone hit a six?

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Thus far, best I've found is a four: Cuneiform -> Mesopotamia -> Wrestling -> WWE/Lucha Libre -> WrestleMania III. EDIT: Just found another four, but there are far too many variations on the steps to list - Big Daddy to James Hydrick. EDIT: Another four, but absolutely insane the sheer number of links - looks like a child's scribbling with a ruler and glitter: Vince McMahon and the Battle of Rorke's Drift.

Retro Red Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Urosaurus to Giant Baba Memorial Cup - 885 paths, but nothing shorter than 6 steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUM Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I mean it's not wrestling related but if Rik Mayall were alive today he would love that you could go from Rik Mayall to Adolf Hitler to Donald Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Only a 5 so far. in fact I’ve had two, another being Coundon Grange and Rob Bartlett. Actually, loads of 5’s, obscure U.K. villages and obscure Japanese wrestles does the trick. No 6’s though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Just got a five which linked British Gas to Daisuke Sekimoto. British Gas -> Centrica -> Tesco -> Lawson -> Suwama -> Sekimoto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Five is much easier than I thought it would be... 6 is impossible. My latest 5 (I’m pretty happy with it)   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Taking inspiration from the one of Gorman’s googlewhacks that sticks in my mind, I’ve got a 5 - Coelacanth to Nathan Cruz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Another 5; KDS (Company) to Barry Hardy. I think Barry Hardy is key here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 I got a 5 first time. Nii Lamptey > WWF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Fuck off, I was going the ex-Cov player route as I heard the "boop" of your post. Will report back if I get a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew the Giant Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Randy Anderson to Glamorgan Cricketer Clive Davies is a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted March 1, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted March 1, 2018 Does everyone realise that Bicurious Dad already found a 6 by the third post of this thread?? Rikidozan > Jimmy Savile Sex Scandal- only three degrees of separation- one of them being Piers Morgan. I'm having fuck all luck though, but Rikidozan appears to be my best bet so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
