That was a tough one! Very accommodating of Lord Carnarvon to have a car crash in Germany!

Next, that pinnacle of human achievement: 2001 Japanese Football League.

I’m sure it could be shaved a bit.

How about:

Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia to Bugbear

#27

Huh. coding error up there. Between Honda FC and Motorsport there should be Honda.

#28

I thought this one was impossible for a while, but I finally did it. Albeit, with lots of links.

Hereditary Equine Regional Dermal Asthenia -> American Quarter Horse -> Horse -> Mythology -> Video Game -> Video Game Genres -> Dungeons & Dragons -> Orc (Dungeons & Dragons) -> Goblin (Dungeons & Dragons) -> Bugbear (Dungeons & Dragons) -> Bugbear

Whew!

Lets try…

Bugbear -> Top Quark

#29

I got there by way of U Cal Davis -> their sports league -> Baseball -> Boston Red Sox -> Curt Schilling -> Forgotten Realms -> a few dungeons and dragons links.

Leaving Bugbear -> Top Quark

#30

Bugbear > Metaphor > World Hypotheses> Logical Positivism>Metaphysics> Matter > Top Quark

It would have been much tougher without the initial link to Metaphor I think.

Top Quark > Ragazzi di vita

#31

Top Quark–>CERN–>Italy–>Italian Literature–>Pier Paolo Pasolini–>Ragazzi di vita

Ragazzi di vita to Brine shrimp

#32

Ragazzi di vita > Dean Moriaty > Salt Lake City> Great Salt Lake > Brine shrimp
Brine shrimp > Mark Wolstenholme

#33

lisiate that was epic. I too got there through the great salt lake, but through MANY more links.

#34

lisiate, I can’t find ANY pages that link to Mark W… hopefully someone else does!

#35

Sheer luck on the link to the On the Road Character got me there.

Sorry about the impossible goal - not even his own brother’s page links to him! I just use random article until I find a decent sized page to set the target.

There are a few links to him though - I had to cheat and use the “What links here?” tool

#36

Just to show it can be done:

Brine Shrimp> Animalia> Insect > cricket (insect) > cricket > Yorkshire County Cricket Club> Northamptonshire County Cricket Club> Friends Provident Trophy> 1999 Natwest Trophy> Mark Wolstoneholme

Wolstoneholme got 2/33 in Northamptonshire’s 2 wicket loss to Wiltshire in that competition.

#37

I saw the 1999 Natwest Trophy page too, but it doesn’t include him in the main text, only in a table below. So can’t be used according to the standard rules… :frowning:

#38

Oh and next one -

Mark Wolstenholme > Batman: Cataclysm

#39

Bugger, I think that makes him an orphan page then, as the other links are the same (and a user page).

#40

How did you know I was a bugger!? :slight_smile: (Feel free to create an in-text link to him in one of the apropriate pages… perhaps the city he is from, they have a section of famous people from their town)
