"Chromosome" to "BBC One" Time: 78.910 Seconds Number of links visited: 10 The path you took: [ "Chromosome", "DNA", "Life", "Animal", "Systema Naturae", "Carl Linnaeus", "Chelsea Physic Garden", "Chelsea, London", "United Kingdom", "BBC", "BBC One" ] This is pretty sick.

Damn. So I just lost one. I needed to go from 700 to “Australasian Virtual Herbarium”. Getting from 700 to South Australia or Adelaide is no big deal. The problem is trying to find a single Wikipedia page that actually links to the Wikipedia page for the Australasian Virtual Herbarium rather than to their website (or just referencing it without any link text). I suppose I could go in somewhere and add it myself, but that would be cheating. So after 670 seconds, I’m throwing in the towel on this one. If anybody finds a way, let me know, but I may take a crack at this one again later this evening.

  I used "What Links Here" to find this (just to confirm that it can be done, not that I could find it myself). ROT13: uggcf://ra.jvxvcrqvn.bet/jvxv/Nhfgenyvn uggcf://ra.jvxvcrqvn.bet/jvxv/Pnaoreen uggcf://ra.jvxvcrqvn.bet/jvxv/Nhfgenyvna_Angvbany_Obgnavp_Tneqraf uggcf://ra.jvxvcrqvn.bet/jvxv/Nhfgenynfvna_Iveghny_Ureonevhz I would probably not have been able to find this without using the reverse link feature.

    So it is possible, just very very challenging. I haven’t plugged it into a translator and it’s been a while since I deciphered ROT13 by hand, but looking at that first one I’m guessing that’s Australia itself just based on the pattern? Country pages tend to have a lot of links to a lot of different topics. So if it’s on that page, that’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and it may not even be obviously labeled to begin with since link text can be anything on a MediaWiki. If anyone wants to make a go at this and post their time and link count here, I may have some free time this weekend to try and challenge it. None this evening I’m afraid.
