All right boys. Let's see you race.

You've all heard of Wiki races? You click on a random article and try to get to Mr Adolf Hitler in the least amount of clicks?

Ok here's the rules: Click random article.

From there it's a race. To where you ask? Miata of course. I just got four!

My lap was

A horrible start but you quickly made up for it!

But won't that take a billion years for some of us? Also, if we're going by the amount of laps, wouldn't that make it like an endurance race and therefore the winner is the person with the MOST? D:

Or I could just play this game and enjoy it.

But first, one question... Once we click random, we're clicking the links on the page, right? It's not just "click random until suddenly Miata" is it?

Clicking random is the start :) And It doesn't take that long. Points to the lowest! Get racing

Random lead me here . So not exactly an equal start.

However, I did manage to do it.

Edit : Dammit, too many "laps".

Ok there is mine. The only gripe I have is that sometimes the random article you get is impossible to link to the miata, sometimes you even get a one liner article with nowhere to go. Otherwise it's a fun way to procrastinate.

Edit: I could get from MJ Chaos in the Windy City to Hitler in 6 clicks, getting to Miata is proving to be a bit harder.

That's Formula Oppo for you. Sometimes you qualify well, other times you don't. That's Oppo-racing.

Na man the random article is your qualifying then from there it's up to you to complete the lap. Nice though, not even bad at all. I had another go at it. More than ten.. oops

Okay, my path was ridiculous

My random article was some Rugby player

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Fox…

He's from York

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York

York has an airport, which services private aviation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_a…

Who makes private planes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_a…

Oh, Honda Motor Company has a subsidiary (nice enough to link to Honda Motor Company)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Mot…

I wonder who else makes cars? Oh, Mazda and it's subsidiary brand Eunos?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunos_(au…

And guess what Eunos made. That's right, the Eunos Roadster, aka the MX-5 Miata
