Geocache Description:


Six degrees of separation refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from someone they know and two steps away from everyone that they know, then everyone is an average of six "steps" away from each person on Earth.
The trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is based on the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation. You try to link any actor through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon. The game was played at various college campuses in the early 1990s. In 2007, Kevin Bacon started a charitable organization named SixDegrees.org
For this cache, you have to find the ten actors/actresses who are linked to each other by films.
The rules:
1) Every person used is very famous.
2) I have used their common film names.
3) Every movie is very well known.
4) The Count is the number of letters in their first & last names.
5) The Date is the year the connecting movie came out.
6) They are in the lead roles
How to play: Find a movie Kevin Bacon stared in, in 1995, find a fellow actor in that movie that has 3 letters in their first name & 5 in there last name. Look for the movie they stared in, in their year and find another actor and so on and so on. After you have found the people, get their birth dates. Answer the ten questions and you can solve the coordinates.
Enjoy, this cache is filled with wonderful toys and goodies for the kids so bring them along.
