There's an iPad app called WikiHunt where you are given two Wikipedia articles and you have to figure out a way to get from one to the other via the blue links in as few clicks as possible.
Putting the app aside, this can be a fun thing to do on your own by just pressing the Random Article link on the left side of any Wikipedia page.
For example, the two articles I were given were Conrad Singer and Berryz Kobo. Here's how I got from one to the other:
Conrad Singer
High fidelity
FM broadcasting
FM broadcasting in the United States
History of radio
XM Satellite Radio
KISS-XM
Contemporary hit radio
Pop music
J-pop
Hello! Project
Berryz Kobo
Total score (number of clicks): 11
Not the greatest, but it was my first time trying.
Whoever wants to play shall post below me. Then when they post their solution, they can also post the next challenge (which you can create by hitting the Random Article link twice) for someone else to play.
Here's the first challenge:
Northwood, Isle of Wight and Now We're in the Air
