I’m a fan of the game Six Degrees to Bacon, so when I find a new linking game to play I get excited. Stephen Dolan has put together the Six Degrees of Wikipedia, a handy gadget to see what Wikipedia pages link to each other. For instance, it takes four clicks to get from Batman to Law and Order:

Batman - Fox Broadcasting Company - Catherine Crier - Susan Polk - Law and Order

Or Pringles to Hillary Clinton in three clicks

Pringles - Cincinnati, Ohio - November 7 - Hillary Rodham Clinton

The system gets an easy route since Wikipedia keeps articles on every date with 2007 being the center of everything Wiki (3.45 average clicks). After all the lists, United Kingdom is the most centered article (3.67 average clicks) followed by Billie Jean King and the United States. No idea why.

More fun statistics, it takes 4.573 clicks on average to get from one article to another. Kevin Bacon averages 3.98 clicks.
