Subject: Hit rates above 30%
Posted by George on October 14, 2002 at 11:50 AM:

I've been stamping bills about 2 months now. I get about 1 or 2 hits a day which currently is just above a 2% hit rate. I just don't believe all these user with 30% hit rates, let alone those above 40% and even a couple above 50%. Something fishy is going on. I'll play it fair and be happy with my score but I'm on to all you fibbers.

Here's my profile!

Hit rate by itself means virtually nothing. You could enter 10 bills and get 5 hits on them, for a 50% hit rate. Is that suspicious? (nt) Beaker 12:40 PM 10/15/2002

I do believe that *YOU* are cheating if you only have a 2% hit rate.(m) Jesse in SD 1:45 AM 10/15/2002
- George a cheater? George 1:55 PM 10/15/2002
- My hit rate is 9.20% right now, but runs as low as 7-8%. If you enter alot of large bills your hit rate will be lower. N/T Moose 8:36 AM 10/15/2002
Yep, anyone with a decent hit rate cheats. Has nothing to do with location, number of ones vs. higher denominations entered, or stamping method... (more) Alix 9:12 PM 10/14/2002

Don't worry JT from MD 4:15 PM 10/14/2002
- NOPE.....all geocache bills now can/are tagged and are no longer in top 10...nt E=Mc² 11:05 AM 10/15/2002
  - I think JT from MD is referring to individual Georgers hit rates not the bills themselves. Bills are tagged, not the user (nt) Andrew III from NJ 12:02 PM 10/15/2002
    - Correct! (n/t) JT from MD 3:23 PM 10/15/2002
- More likely two years and they will be Geocachers who George, not Georgers who geocache (nt) Andrew III from NJ 10:11 PM 10/14/2002
