Anansi is an important figure in West African mythology. He takes the form of a spider.
Anansi is a very wise and cunning god. Before their were stories in the world, they were kept by the sky-god Nyame. Anansi asked if he could buy them, and Nyame said that he would only give them in exchange for Onini the Python, Osebo the Leopard, and Mboro hornets.
Anansi was very clever, and able to trick each of the animals into being captured. This allowed him to become god of stories.
In one story, Anansi has a pot containing all of the world's wisdom. He attempts to secure the pot to a tree, but found it too big. The pot slipped and smashed on the ground, and all of the wisdom was dispersed among the world.
For this challenge, we'll be playing a classic internet game... The Wikipedia Challenge! Here's how it works. You are given two wikipedia articles, and must get from the first article to the second, only using wikipedia links. There will be 5 of these to complete. You must type the path you took into your confessional like so (Barack Obama -> Illinois -> Great Lakes) The player who completes all 5 paths with the least total number of steps will win immunity. Here are the paths... Caishen -> ManganesePoutine -> Mwindo epicFatty Acid -> Ulysses (1954 film) Prose Edda -> DidgeridooAphex Twin -> Messier 110

Only 3 of you completed this challenge... Osiris, Amaterasu, and Heimadall. So how did Osiris do? Osiris' reached a total of 36 steps... Can Amaterasu do better? Amaterasu did! She finished in 30 steps. So what about Heimdall? 31 steps. That's one too many, so Amaterasu wins immunity! Tribal Council begins, deadline is still 3 PM EST.
