BS: Google to Mudcat: An Internet game

OK, here's the challenge:

Starting at Google, and doing NOTHING other than clicking on links (no copying and pasting, using other browser controls etc. or such like), get to the Mudcat Forum home page via the fewest links.

My best so far is a meagre 17 clicks.

OK- I tend to be somewhat literal minded so I often miss something... Faced with the blank window of Google, how do you get to Mudcat unless you type something in? (Two clicks to get to the Forum from there, one click if you have it bookmarked)

Don't even do that... Mudcat is my homepage, I get it as soon as I log on.

It used to be mine too, Liz, but the 'Cat was down often enough that I got tired of the message. So I switched to Yahoo. Right now, however, the Mudcat is swift and reliable and very satisfying so I may change again.

If I am allowed to type a search string, before clicking, then it is two clicks after typing in "mudcat.org".

1 click - I used the link above to reach Google, then the back button on the browser.

I'm sorry that you find it 'sad', Eric.

RobbieWilson is right, as I thought I'd made clear in my first post: no typing no browser buttons, all clicks within sites, starting with google main search page

Ebbie, you could for example, click on Google News

Robbie, any chance of sharing your route? I for one (probably the only one), would be interested.
