"Clicking on the first lowercase link in the main text of a Wikipedia article, and then repeating the process for subsequent articles, usually eventually gets one to the Philosophy article. As of May 26, 2011, 94.52% of all articles in Wikipedia lead eventually to the article Philosophy."

Neat. Using the x86 Wikipedia article as a starting point, and clicking the first lower case link repeatedly, it took me 45 clicks to get to the Philosophy.

    Ah, yep, you're right, it's only 10 hops. Must have done something wrong when I tried it the first time.
