The Wikipedia path game!
 

OK the goal of the game is to get from one page on wikipedia to another in the shortest path possible

*all players must post the path they took and we will check them
*for fun: no using the back button or Ctrl+F
*no inappropriate paths


for the first one start at "clock" and go to "bike" or "bicycle"

Re: The Wikipedia path game!
 

"Binary" is excessively hard because the page titled "binary" is a disambiguation page, and, in theory, pages should not link to disambiguation pages. I move that disambiguation pages not be allowed as endpoints.
