- neurolysis 15y agoThree, actually. Kevin Bacon > Meme > Philosophy.
- sophacles 15y agoThis statement shows a gross misunderstanding of the rules. Meme is quite far down the page. It is well after many links that are neither italicized nor inside parens. The statement whose veracity is being checked says First link (plus some other parameters).
- malloc 15y agominor correction: 20 clicks
- sophacles 15y agoThis shows a that the program linked is broken. The steps taken, are: 1. Animal House 2. .... Going to the actual Kevin Bacon Wikipedia page, Animal House is clearly italic. The First non-italic, top-level (wrt parens) is Golden Globe
- m_myers 15y agoIt took me 30 steps to do it manually, following the correct rules.
- chad_oliver 15y agoI expect the program is working off an out-of-date database. Hitting wikipedia directly would be rather bad form.
- billpaetzke 15y agoHaha ya, it's crazy. I went to Wikipeida.com, clicked on a random link (Ratko_Mladić), and from there it took me 26 clicks of first links to reach the Philosophy page.
