Wiki-Fu Tournament

[Swatopluk]

I can't find Penney on the talk:... page.
But it can be replaced with 'Nuclear weapons and the United Kingdom', so Agujims way remains the shortest.
I therefore award Agujim the prize and the task to name a new destination.

[Aggie]

He's on there, by last name only in the Anglo Hate?  section:

Frisch, Peirls, Fuchs all took up British Nationality. You have to look around quite a bit to find the not-inconsiderable amount of UK and Commonwealth scientists involved, e.g., Tuck, Oliphant, Penney, Chadwick, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.253.74 (talk) 22:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

But I'll take up the task.

Next destination is the Big Black album Songs About F*cking

Not often the challenge combines two of my interests.


Sir William Penney
Physics                (need to expand table)
Solid
Atomic spectroscopy
Atomization
Big black
Songs about F*cking

[Aggie]

Considerably shorter than my first-identified pathway, I think.

[beagle]

If only Sir Bill had been randier...

[Swatopluk]

I'll not even try this time.

[Griffin NoName]

me neither

I hope this game is still going if I ever find I have time on my hands.... which probably wont be till my course finishes in 2 years

[Aggie]

Well, I'm certainly having a crack at it - need to re-work a path backwards from Big Black I think.  Often I go for a conceptually quick route, that needs a number of detours through large articles to make the connection.  My first-scouted route pivoted on B-52s....

Ah, there's a unexpected path:

William Penney
Trinity College, Cambridge
Trinity
Crucifixion of Jesus
King of the Jews
Songs About F*cking


Could perhaps be refined, but those last two moves must be worth some bonus credit.

[Swatopluk]

...
Crucifixion of Jesus
King of the Jews
Songs About F*cking

...those last two moves must be worth some bonus credit.

Fully agree with that

[Sibling Lambicus the Toluous]

Next destination is the Big Black album Songs About F*cking

This doesn't win, but I think it's interesting enough to share:

William Penney
World War II
Resistance during World War II
Special Operations Executive
Ian Fleming
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Dr. Evil
List of fictional cats
C.S. Lewis
Christian Alternative Rock
Timeline of alternative rock
Songs About F*cking

I just like how I managed to get the SOE, "list of fictional cats" and Christian Alt-rock all in there.   

[Swatopluk]

I am always surprised what kind of lists there are on wikipedia

[Griffin NoName]

Shame you didn't get TS Elliot in there too Lambi

[Aggie]

LOL, if I could give a waypoint....  


I'm glad you managed to use the Timeline of Alternative Rock - that was my original inbound path.


Any other entries?  I think most of the usual suspects have entered or folded by now...  Zono?

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

You can go on, I wont beat nor distance nor cleverness in this round.

[Aggie]

You know, I originally was going to point last round at "More Songs About Buildings and Food", but I'm not that into architecture (compared to the other two). 

Next stop is Mikhail Lavrentyev. 

I'll be posting at the end of the day, if I remember with all the goings-on.  Almost chose Fight Club instead - learned something about it today that I hadn't realized before (but is very appropriate considering it is/was(?) my favorite movie of all time). 

How's that working out for you - being clever?
