This "game" have been around for a while. A grad student at any Berkeley or Stanford (forgot which) wrote a program to calculate the distance (in number of clicks) from any one page to any other page contained by Wikipedia. Of course, this number changes over time. Another piece they calculated was the "center" of Wikipedia - which page have the lowest mean distance from adjectives other pages. I own completely forgotten which page it was.

I also thought of betting if I can from ex. Benjamin Franklin To Nintendo Wii in smaller quantity than 10 links. It would be a fun game to play beside your g33ks. I think I'm going to taunt myself to random such things.
There are "orphans" -- articles to which no other article links. Most crisscross up deleted or integrated, but at any time, some will exist.
It might be fun, but it seem a rather solitary pursuit as it would be intricate to see what other contestants were doing.
