Connect The Dots
« on: August 13, 2009, 03:25:11 pm »
Ok. I figure I'll start a cool forum thread game. It's probably been done elsewhere, but hey, I haven't seen it done on anywhere I've visited so:

I'm going to give you a link to a Wikipedia page. I'm then going to give you the link to another wikipedia page, or perhaps later, a general topic. You're going to connect the two links through clicking only links on the Wikipedia page to other Wikipedia articles.

e.g. I'll do one: Hitler to Obama. For Warrior. ;)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler ==> "The purpose of the Tripartite treaty, which was directed against an unnamed power that was clearly meant to be the United States was to deter the Americans from supporting the British"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States ==> "On November 4, 2008, amid a global economic recession, Barack Obama was elected president."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

You must connect within six topics (not counting the originating topics). It's probably more interesting to get closer to six, than it is just doing one hop like I did. If you're able to do that, post your connection, then you can specify two topics to connect!

FIRST TOPIC (inspired by dark_drake): Chemical Engineering to Striptease

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

FIRST TOPIC (inspired by dark_drake): Chemical Engineering to Striptease
Chem Engineering -> Military -> WWII - > Strip tease

(there is a link from strip tease to WWII, does that work backwards like that, since there isnt a link from WWII to strip tease?)

Fail. No. Try again. And actually give links. :)

It has to flow from front to back. Not necessarily the other way around. Although I might require it to wrap around back to the original topic...!

I challenge somebody to write a program that does this using an AI algorithm (bonus points for something other than a bruteforce search :) )

Disregard mine, it was too hard and will probably kill the thread. Someone else come up with one.

Doug Martindale to undergarment. Go!

EDIT -- Changed the second one to undergarment to make it harder. :P

I also LOL'd at one of the first sentences on the page:

Quote
Undergarments or underwear are clothes worn under other clothes, often next to the skin. They keep outer garments from being soiled by perspiration, urine, semen, feces, shape the body and provide support for parts of it.

Semen, eh?

No stubs. Noob. Stubs generally aren't linked via anything.

Ah, I didn't see that. I found it in sperm though, so I thought it would be easy enough.
