Race through Wikipedia's infinite maze of knowledge
Participants:1
Duration:1h 15m
Platform:Wikipedia

In the Wikipedia Maze, the participants will be given an initial and final Wikipedia article. The participants, using internal links only, need to reach the final article given to them. An example of how this would work has been given below.

Rules:

1. Only clicking on internal Wikipedia links is allowed; the search function cannot be used.

2. There will be a total of 10 challenges, all with increasing levels of difficulty.

3. The duration for each challenge will be a maximum of 6 minutes. The participants who fail to complete one challenge in 6 minutes will be eliminated.

4. The total time taken to complete all 10 challenges will be taken into account to decide the winners.

5. If stuck in a loop, the participants will be allowed to go back to only the starting Wikipedia article. However, they are not allowed to go back to the previous article after clicking on a link.

6. The participants need to screen record their path for the entire duration of the competition. They will be given a pen drive where they will upload the recording.

7. No external websites, tools, or browser tabs are allowed.

8. Participants must bring their own devices for the competition.

9. For tiebreakers, that is, if the total time of 2 or more participants is exactly the same, the number of clicks will be considered.

10. Logistics members will be moving around, and if any participant is caught using dishonest methods, he/she will be disqualified immediately.
