0 Guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 There are actually some websites that can find a minimum path between any two wikipedia articles, such as this one. Of course, its no fun to just use this site to find a solution. But I do think it is interesting to compare your solution to the shortest. Its also remarkable to see how short of paths can be found between such random articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Not sure, probably something under China's religion. I didn't read it, I just thought it was weird that Oreos connected to Jesus like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
