This is one of my favorite forum games.  Here's how it works: the person above you posts a link to a Wikipedia article.  You go to Wikipedia and click the "random article" button in the toolbar.  You need to click links from that random article to navigate your way to the Wikipedia article that the previous golfer posted: the fewer links the better! It's fun and a bit educational, too.
 
Here's an example.  Suppose I'm trying to get to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_art.  I could take the following path:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewlett_Harbor,_New_York (random start: city on long island)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island (island near New York City)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_metropolitan_area
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston (city in northeastern USA)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Fine_Arts,_Boston (art museum in Boston)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_art (destination)

5 links to my destination! Not bad. Believe it or not, you can make most connections in 5 or fewer links if you try hard. (You can call 5 links "par".) If you're too busy to optimize your path, getting it in 10 is usually pretty easy.

Other various rules:

• All English encyclopedia articles (those hosted on "en.wikipedia.org") are game.
• Pages that have a namespace (like "User:" or "Wikipedia:") are not encyclopedia articles and therefore may not be used.
• Have fun!
