1. The "Wikipedia Hole" Detective (V2 Upgrade) V1 Version: Click random article, read for two minutes. V2 Version: Six Degrees of Separation. Pick two wildly unrelated topics (e.g., "The Great Wall of China" to "Taylor Swift"). Using only hyperlinks within Wikipedia articles, you must find the path between them in under ten clicks.

The Setup: Look at the messiest drawer or shelf in your home. The V2 Rule: You cannot organize by category (shoes with shoes, pens with pens). You must organize by color, weight, or alphabetical order of the item's second letter. The Objective: Create the most aesthetically useless arrangement possible. Take a photo. The more chaotic the logic, the higher your "Boredom Score."
