I've killed hours at work playing this so thought I'd start a thread about it here. Rules are pretty simple, just follow links in Wikipedia to game from the starting page to the destination page.
This then becomes the starting page for a new destination.

As this is the first link then start at the home page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and try to get to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating

Post the links here so we can see that it's valid.
Most things seem to be able to be done in 6 links or less.

When you post a valid path it's up to you to pick the next destination.
 
Six Degrees of Wikipedia....

I have read about this, but I know this could be too addictive and my brain may exploide from the amount of articles I may end up reading!!!

Some people have already written a "a shortest path query solver for the English Wikipedia..."

I don't see the link to radioactive decay on the main page?

OK, your turn to pick the next destination from Radiocarbon dating now.
