BittenApple's Murphy's Law Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

BittenApple: It looks to me like this multi cache has run its course. No one has found it in over a year and the people who have tried it recently have had to make several attempts. I guess this cache is just taking up space that could be used for other caches so I'm going to free it up. Thanks to all who had searched and found before. See you down the road!

Geocache Description:

This cache was inspired by some of the cache containers involved and a desire to use them in a cache!

CONGRATS TO STOMPERSWAMP ON FTF!!!


Murphy's Law is the unwritten rule that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Whether it is true or not is a matter of opinion. This cache is designed to explore how Murphy's Law applies when you have a choice between two options.

When I was a child, I grew up hearing that there was a 50/50/90 rule when Murphy's Law applied to choices - If you have a 50/50 choice, you will choose wrong 90% of the time!!!

Each of the stages of this geocache will give you a choice between two different options - will you go to choice A or choice B??? Don't worry, there are no dead ends in this multi-stage cache - all options will eventually get you to the final!!! BUT HOW MANY ATTEMPTS IT TAKES IS UP TO YOU!!!

The rules are simple - choose only one option and try it. If you decide that you want to go to the other option, then return to the original stage and select again.

This geocache is fully contained in this general shopping center area, and can be done entirely by foot, or you can drive if you want. The final is not wheelchair accessible. Also, the final should give you a little scenic view that you might not have noticed before.

Good luck, and for extra fun, let us know in your log how long it took, or how many stages it took, and whether you walked or drove!
