Wikiracing". ) ''Star Tribune'', 6/20/2010.〕〔Ariel Doctoroff. ("Want To Waste An Hour (Or Three)? Go On A Wikirace". ) ''Huffington Post'', 7/22/10.〕〔 Colin Hepke (2008). ("On Your Mark, Get Set, Wikipedia"! ) Cornerstone 2(3), 8.〕〔Ben Jones. ("Students glued to computers turn Wikipedia into a game". ) ''College Times'', 7/8/2010.〕 It has many different variations and names, including The Wikipedia Game, Wikipedia Maze, Wikispeedia, Wikiwars, Wikipedia Ball, and Litner Ball.〔Stefan Thaler, Katharina Siorpaes, Elena Simperl and Christian Hofe (2011). ("A Survey on Games for Knowledge Acquisition". ) ''Semantic Technology Institute International''. pgs 14-17.〕 External websites have been created to facilitate the game.〔John Walker. ("Searching For Fun: Wikipedia Game". ) ''Rock, Paper, Shotgun'', 6/10/2010.〕 The ''Seattle Times'' has recommended it as a good educational pastime for children〔Heidi Stevens. ("Zero in on your child's lack of focus". ) ''Seattle Times'', 8/14/2011.〕 and the ''Larchmont Gazette'' has said, "While I don't know any teenagers who would curl up with an encyclopedia for a good read, I hear that a lot are reading it in the process of playing the Wikipedia Game".〔Jacqueline Hornor Plumez. ("The Career Doctor". ) ''Larchmont Gazette'', 9/25/2008.〕 The Amazing Wiki Race has been an event at the TechOlympics〔Denise Smith Amos . "500 teens converge for TechOlympics". ''Cincinnati Enquirer'', 3/5/2010〕 and the Yale Freshman Olympics.〔Alison Griswold. ("Saybrook frosh win". ) ''Yale Daily News'', 4/11/2011.〕 The average number of links separating any Wikipedia page from the United Kingdom page is 3.67. Other common houserules such as not using the United States page increase the difficulty of the game.〔Brock Read.
