Welcome to my contest!
This is a little game that is often enjoyable and fun at the same time. I hope you participate in it whether it be for the prize or just for a little fun.
I may turn this into a regular contest if enough people are interested.

The Wikipedia game is simple. You start on a specific Wikipedia page and must use links within the Wikipedia page to make your way towards another specific page.
The winner is the person who is able to do this in the least number of pages. Each time a player uses a link to go to another page, they are completing one ' step'.
The initial page and final page are both treated as steps. So if I started on the Issac Newton Page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton)
and clicked on the word Physics to take me the Physics Page ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics), I would have completed 2 steps. Obviously, the competition will involve harder challenges.
Some Rules:
- Do not use links on the header or sidebar of wikipedia. The search is obviously not allowed, random article is not allowed, you cannot navigate to the homepage. Only use links within an article.
- First person to post a variety of steps locks in that path (do not edit your post, otherwise your entry is void).
- In the event of a tie (where 2 different paths are found but with the same amount of steps), the prize money will be equally shared among the winners.
- I must be able to replicate your steps to confirm your entry. Wikipedia is constantly updated so if a page is updated before I can check then your entry is void because I have no way of verifying the entry.
- Contest will close when enough people have entered. I will decide on a fair time to close the comp.
- DO NOT PM ME!!! unless if you really want to. Tits.

There is actually a 3 step solution to this one. :D
Remember if you tie the winner using a different path, you also get a share of the money.
