So I stumbled on these instructions:
Go to a random wikipedia article. Click on the first link (skip parentheses). Repeat. You will always end up on ‘Philosophy.’
Below is a list of the random articles I began from, and how long it took me to get to the Philosophy article.
Gymnasium Philippinum: 11Brnakot: 23Ohrenbach: 11Vrijburg: 24The Love Transcendent: 142010 in tennis: 13Cross of All Nations: 24List of teams and cyclists in the 2003 Tour de France: 14Anton Ehmann: 19Traveling carnival: 25Frog: 13
Some, however, go into an immediate loop, for example between fringe theatre and alternative theatre.
Philosophy, of course, loops back on itself in just a few steps.
The Wikipedia version of the Collatz conjecture.
And if you click two more times starting from Philosophy, you get to Rationality. Rationality, of course, loops back to itself.
This is probably a result of what Elizer said about going up one level. The first link in wikipedia almost always goes up one level. Philosophy is the universal top level.
