          I’m trying this out.

          Here’s the results: Shadow King (Marvel character): success after about 10 links

          Ernest Shackleton (article of the day): 10 clicks

          Wikipedia (the article): 4 clicks

          Church of the Holy Mother of God, Bolshiye Saly: 14 clicks

          James Loren Martin: 24 clicks

          Annette Ziegler: 14 clicks

          Almost all of them went through Philosophy of Science or Philosophy of Art. Seems like a pretty reliable rule.
