One Degree of Seperation - Olivebranch, MS Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

WillG_R7: I've decided to archive this now that the cache is missing. Part of the fun of the ODS project was the cache actually coming from the seed pod originally.

Thanks to everyone who found it, especially the ones that I caught looking since I worked nearby!

Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from GC2EJT4!

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!

This cache is part of the One Degree of Separation project started at GeoWoodstock IV in Dallas, TX on Fri, May 26, 2006..

This project was launched to unite the entire geocaching continuum together at one point using the "Small World Theory" as it pertains to geocaching.

If even half of the nearly 13,000 caches originally released on 5/26/2006 get placed as a geocache, no geocacher in the entire world (with even 1 find) should be able to go much beyond 3 degrees of separation from every other geocacher in the world, but the REAL object of this project is to bring that number down to 1 degree for as many geocachers as possible.

One Degree of Separation is a project that has been taking shape and GROWING for nearly 5 years. It's a variation of the "Small World" concept that was proposed in the early 20th century. Many people are familiar with the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, but few know just how far back the idea goes.

For more information on this project and the Small World Theory go to: Small World Theory link = visit link

To visually see how the project grows over time check the ODS: PRIME! geocaching profile stats at: ODS Prime link = visit link

Many other goals will be posted as the project grows, but here are a few:
#1 To have an active ODS cache hidden on ALL 7 continents.
#2 To have an ODS cache hidden in all 50 states.
#3 To have an ODS cache hidden in a number of foreign countries, by milestone, 10 countries at a time. First milestone 10 then 20 and so on.
#4 To have an ODS cache hidden in every county in Texas.
More goals will be posted on the ODS website....
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy point in geocaching history.

The hide:

I made this a simple puzzle to discourage extremely noobie and sloppy cachers from even looking at it, there's plenty of PNG micros elsewhere =D.

Go to the listed coordinates and find the address of the business nearby.

Take the 3rd digit of the address, multiply it by 3. ADD this to the last two digits of the LATITUDE.

Then, take the 1st digit of the address, add 1 to it, then multiply it by 4. SUBTRACT your answer from the last 2 digits of the LONGITUDE.
