It works like this. Two terms. You have to get from one to the other by any associative mind spark.
For instance, how do you get from Cadillac to Charlie Chaplin?
Cadillac => Caddyshack => Shaq => Shaquille O'Neal => Oona O'Neal => Charlie Chaplin
Use any generally accepted orthographic (Eg:- anagrams), phonetic (Eg:- rhymes, homonyms etc.), semantic, logical and factual associations. These must be well-known names, words and phrases. Phrases and sentences of your own construction cannot be used.
The two rules of the game are as follows:
- When using phonetic associations, if both happen to be multisyllabic, a minimum of two syllables of one must rhyme with the corresponding syllables of the other.
- Factual connections must be conceptually proximal distinctive associations. For instance,
[ Roger Federer => Tennis ] isn't distinctive enough.
You score higher by using fewer associations and getting there quicker.

The current game is [ Tornado | Charlie Brown ].
My initial solution is:
Tornado => Hurricane => Rubin Carter => Jimmy Carter => Peanuts => Charlie Brown
Anyone have a better one?
