Ok. So my roommate and I just came up with it and it is the most fun we have had in a while. Here is how it works (and it relies heavily on honesty). You need a friend in the room or nearby at least.
You and your competitors agree on a specific article (such as "Blue Whale") and then at the same time everyone hits Random Article. From there, you all must find a way to Blue Whale as fast as possible, without using the Search panel, Find Key Word in the edit list of the browser, Back Button of the browser, or dates/years (we found timeline links to be too easy of a shortcut). First one there wins.
Edit: Also, no Open In A New Window (as this bypasses the Back button restriction).

If you want to make it really evil, then you have to make it so that they have to fully read whichever article they clicked.
That way you learn something!

God that made me sound like such a teacher.
