Some equivalent of "random article" 100 times fast. But what if Wikipedia 100 years from now is delivered via wireless neural network, in the form of direct memory transfer? Then maybe you would need more than that 10 minute period just to figure out how to work the damn thing.

PS. You might find that the page(s) you chose to read had been protected for years, or was in the middle of an edit war. Or that the entire encyclopedia had been 'checked' and published and was 'finished'? Would that be a cause for celebration or not? OK, I suppose this is all missing the point of the question...
It's interesting. If you were in 1890, and you got ten minutes' access to an Encyclopedia Britannica from 1990 - what would you look up?
