Default Wikipedia Game / Experiment
There is a saying that "All Roads Lead to Rome." So on Wikipedia do first words in the article lead to "Philosophy?"

I searched for the song "Save it for Later" and in the Google return I got "Special Beat Service" which is the title of the album. On that page the first hyperlink-word was "British," which turn out to be for the wiki page "United Kingdom." The first word on that page that linked me to another was "Sovereign country." I did the same thing and click on every first word on each page until on the "Philosophy" page.

The game of clicking on the first hyperlink-word seems easy enough. Sometimes if a game or a task is too easy there is no interest in it. The part I am curious about is there a word that doesn't to the Philosophy page or a limit of links that eventually lead to the Philosophy page. The experiment or challenge would be to find the word that doesn't link or a word that has longest degree of separation from Philosophy.
  1. Special Beat Service
  2. British/United Kingdom
  3. Sovereign country/Sovereign state
  4. International law
  5. State/State (polity)
  6. Polity
  7. Entity
  8. Ontology
  9. Philosophy

Start anywhere on wiki

Click the first link in the text

Pretty soon you'll be on the philosophy page

Like 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon

Someone hit Frownland with a shoe: he's stuck in a loop!
Or maybe that's the new album?
