Here's a challenge- see who can go from one website to another, using only clickable links. The winner is the one who can do it in the least clicks. You must post the URL of each click to prove your 'time'.

First one-

http://news.bbc.co.uk to www.football365.com

Anyway, these types of things are normally done with Wikipedia:

Challenge:
Get from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrack_Obama
to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari

Using links in articles.

Out of interest, how does everyone else go about this? I tend to get an idea first and then find the links to support it, for example, I thought of Ferrari as being oft owned by famous actors (actually, it was Peter Sellers who popped into my head) and then figured on the Ron Reagan connection and put it together from there but obviously it's not the neatest way of doing it.

Do you just click every link on the page or do you start with a strategy? Curious as to how people's minds work...
