Wikipedia Game / Experiment
 

There is a saying that "All Roads Lead to Rome." So on Wikipedia do first words in the article lead to "Philosophy?"

I searched for the song "Save it for Later" and in the Google return I got "Special Beat Service" which is the title of the album. On that page the first hyperlink-word was "British," which turn out to be for the wiki page "United Kingdom." The first word on that page that linked me to another was "Sovereign country." I did the same thing and click on every first word on each page until on the "Philosophy" page.

The game of clicking on the first hyperlink-word seems easy enough. Sometimes if a game or a task is too easy there is no interest in it. The part I am curious about is there a word that doesn't to the Philosophy page or a limit of links that eventually lead to the Philosophy page. The experiment or challenge would be to find the word that doesn't link or a word that has longest degree of separation from Philosophy.

1. Special Beat Service
2. British/United Kingdom
3. Sovereign country/Sovereign state
4. International law
5. State/State (polity)
6. Polity
7. Entity
8. Ontology
9. Philosophy
