      Commentary

      I like that path, it seems like it would be better at more universal applications. It’s a good approach that probably relies less on luck.

    Sea of Azov ➡️ Bumblebee ⏰ 01:23 🦶3

    Path

    (Sea_of_Azov ➡️ Nelumbo ➡️ Pollinator ➡️ Bumblebee)

    Notes

    The link “Nelumbo” showed up as “sacred lily” in the flora section of “Sea of Azov”. I nearly added an unnecessary step by clicking “bee” after going to “pollinator”, but scrolling down revealed “bumblebee” as an option.

    I’m sure this is a terrible run but it’s my first

      Oh that’s a clever approach you were trying to take there. Shame it took so long to actually work.

      I agree with Zagorath, I like the cleverness of the path you took. I found a way to cut two steps off of that route:

      Path

      Sea of Azov ➡️ Bumblebee ⏰ 01:32 🦶7 (Sea_of_Azov ➡️ Greek_colonization ➡️ Latin_alphabet ➡️ B ➡️ B_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee_(disambiguation) ➡️ Bee ➡️ Bumblebee)

      Notes

      Instead of having to make the transition between “Beta” and “B”, you can go to “Latin_Alphabet” directly from “Greek_colonization”. And once you’ve gotten to “Bee_(disambiguation)” you can go straight to “Bee” from the first link on that page.

      I like following other routes after I’ve submitted my own. I think it’s useful to see what leaps someone else makes, and to learn from someone else’s approach to a problem.

            FADE IN:

            EXT. PARK - DAY

            A sunny afternoon in a bustling city park. A man with a briefcase in an overcoat sits on a bench.

            DEREK (Man ugly and weathered, 40s) I didn’t think you would show up

            ANGELA (Woman, ancient looking, not an unwrinkled patch of skin on her face)

            Look I’ve only made it halfway, and I need to know before I die

            Derek fidgets nervously.

            DEREK I don’t like opening this, it freaks me out

            ANGELA I don’t have much longer to live, just open it.

            Derek fumbles with the claps wipes away sweat from his brow.

            We hear a hissing from the briefcase.

            A man jumps out of the tree nearby pulling a gun and pointing it at Derek

            AGENT FOSTER (Sunburnt, dad bod. 60s)

            STOP! Secret police! Don’t open that briefcase!

            Derek jumps up hands in the air, the briefcase falls to the ground falling open

            SNAKE: (Aged Python CGI or muppet) <HISSING> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43…

            AGENT FOSTER

            NO! IT’S BEGUN AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!

            End scene

            The script would continue on
