Well, here we go again.

Ulay

Germany
Christianity
Jesus


And for Thorum's challenge, well, well.

Ulay

Germany
Football
Premier League
Aston Villa F.C.
1996 Football League Cup Final

Considering how abscure that is I think I can be satisified with the result. 5 clicks from an obscure German performance artist to an obscure football tournament on some island.

Here's a way I found to 'cheat' and get from anywhere to anywhere else in just 4 clicks!!!

From: Anywhere

1: Special Pages (in the navigation bar on the left)
2: All pages
3: Click the relevent link depending on where it is in the alphabet
Eg. For 'Jesus', click 'Jessup (MD) to Jet-Blue'
For '1996 Football League Cup Final', click '1995 Bathurst 1000 to 1996 Summer Olympic Bids'
4: Click the article you want

Done!

Note: This does require a lot of scrolling and knowledge of the alphabet - also it's automaticcaly generate, so the links may change.

Music lesson (oh crap this is going to be a hard one)

Mozart effect (no countries in the original article, not even names)
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Austria
Protestantism
Jesus


5 clicks, though not 5 articles, so technically I managed it, still feels like something of a failure, but I couldn't find a way to do it in less clicks.
