"all roads lead to Rome"
Let Adolf's article be a node "X".
For any "Y" node in the wikipedia articles group, the maximum distance of Y to X is four intermediary nodes.
You can try it right now.

What do you mean by "node"?
Carson Lee
Oh sorry, I think "vertex" is the correct word for it
I only made the OP post, sorry mate.
Zachary Hughes
Just tried it with all the wikipedia articles I happen to have open now.
Jersey Boys -> West End theatre -> World War I -> Hitler
Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory -> Ernst Zermelo -> Germans -> Hitler (easy)
Elder Thing -> H. P. Lovecraft -> Friedrich Nietzsche -> Hitler
Nigga you didn't have to go through Nazism, Hitler is mentioned in the Nietzsche article.
Peter O'Toole -> Lawrence of Arabia -> World War I -> Hitler
Copernican Principle -> Hermann Bondi -> Austria -> Hitler

Sounds fucked but you know what I meant

Node what computer scientists use, vertex is what mathematicians say.

Some random articles:
Phom Naga -> Rice Wine -> Beer -> Germanic Peoples -> Germany -> Hitler
Josias Joesler -> Tuscon, Arizona -> Non-Hispanic Whites -> German People -> Hitler
David Knox (businessman) -> Edinburgh, Scotland -> United Kingdom -> World War II -> Hitler
Brian Harper (engineer) -> Melbourne, Australia -> World War I -> Hitler
Greyton -> Western Cape -> White South Africans -> Race (human categorization) -> Nazism -> Hitler
Easton James
How do you know the paths you chose are the shortest?
Isaiah Wood
I don't, but I wasn't trying to find the shortest paths, just any paths with at most four articles between the starting point and Hitler.
Ryder Parker
That's just a sideffect of wikipedia having lots of hyperlinks and being a densely connected graph

Trizol->Chloroform->Frankfurt->The Holocaust->Hitler
I thought for sure I had found an exception at first.
Dylan Campbell
Interesting.
Bochner integral -> Salomon Bochner -> Nazi seizure of power -> Adolf Hitler
Liam Lopez
It is possible to do a lot better.
Phom Naga -> Protestantism -> Germany -> Hitler
Josias Joesler -> Academy of Fine Arts, Munich -> Germany -> Hitler
David Knox (businessman) -> Edinburgh -> Munich -> Hitler
Greyton -> Dutch Reformed Church -> Germany -> Hitler
Matthew Foster

Rahul Pandey -> India -> Democracy -> Nazi Germany -> Adolf Hitler
Mollie Tomlin -> Australia -> Second World War -> Adolf Hitler
Oryguncus -> Moth -> German Language -> Germany -> Adolf Hitler
Neon sign -> Paris Motor Show -> Paris -> Paris in World War II -> Adolf Hitler
Mustafa Hadid -> Altonaer FC von 1893 -> Hamburg -> Germany -> Adolf Hitler
Proof of the Hitler Conjecture is as follows
Every page that directly links to a country directly links to a list of countries that participated in WWII in some fashion.
Y -> Country of Y's Origin -> All Countries -> Germany -> Hitler
Therefore the only way for Y to have a Hitler-distance >4 is if Y is not an object invented in a country or a person from a country
The only suitable Y must therefore be plants, animals, or some sort of organism that preceded nations and is not limited to only one country. Unfortunately, almost all Wikipedia articles on various species link to the page "Species" which has a Hitler-distance of 3 via Species -> Natural Selection -> Eugenics -> Hitler
And therefore the most suitable Y are actually unsuitable, and all Y have a Hitler distance of 4 or less.
John Robinson
Girl with a Pearl Earring(painting)->Scarlett Johansson->Ashke(nazi) Jew->Hitler
Hopkins County Museum and Heritage Park->Excavation (archaeology)->Nazi archaeology->Hitler
Pretty easy
Deepwater Horizon oil spill->United States Department of Justice->Franklin D. Roosevelt->Hitler
All these revelations lead me to deduce that it may infact be Hitler that is the cause for all our woes and not the Jews.

Ian Wood
guy guys dont hate to do it manually. there are many sites like
degreesofwikipedia.com
that do it for you, just put in proton and Hitler and you get
[proton] => Proton
[subatomicparticle] => subatomic_particle
[alberteinstein] => Albert_Einstein
[adolfhitler] => Adolf_Hitler
Henry Lee
How'd you find the path?
Jose Young
Kayden Davis
Well, I managed to find some two things things with degree >5
>degreesofwikipedia.com
[olafguthfrithson(disambiguation)] => Olaf_Guthfrithson_(disambiguation)
[englishlanguage] => English_language
[americanenglish] => American_English
[firefly] => Firefly
[groundbeetle] => Ground_beetle
[trechinae] => Trechinae
[trechus] => Trechus
[trechuscryobius] => Trechus_cryobius
But nothing that far from Hitler.
