News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Here is the template:  Rows A to I, columns 1 to 5. CBN Journey $20s

9720000      9726000      9732000      9738000      9744000
9750000      9756000      9762000      9768000      9774000
9780000      9786000      9792000      9798000      9804000
9810000      9816000    9822000      9828000      9834000

9840000      9846000      9852000      9858000      9864000

9870000      9876000      9882000      9888000      9894000
9900000      9906000      9912000      9918000      9924000
9930000      9936000      9942000      9948000      9954000
9960000      9966000      9972000      9978000      9984000

This sheet range encompasses 270,000 notes.

From the same sheet EZJ inserts that I JUST got:
EZJ9954958 48/11 = H5
EZJ9948958 25/46 = H4
EZJ9942958 43/38 = H3
EZJ9936958 54/12 = H2
EZJ9906958 26/26 = G2
EZJ9876958 18/53 = F2
EZJ9870958 41/30 = F1
EZJ9834958 30/41 = D5
EZJ9828958 53/18 = D4

Problem posed: Does this below described error note fit the pattern?
EYL8634987  is a known error, with a butterfly fold at the bottom left (facing the front), therefore when face down, in the bottom right of the sheet.

What I have found is:  CBN $20s are skip numbered by 6000.
6000 per "stack" x 45/sheet x 36 runs = 9,720,000.  (All notes leading uptothe insert range).

Inserts -1: ("-1" meaning that it is in the position of the first 270,000 notes below the insert range)

Template: Column 1 done, as well as row A and I (for simplicity).
ie: 9450000 is in position A1, 9456000 is A2....

9450000      9456000      9462000      9468000      9474000
9480000    
9510000
9540000 (other positions ommited to save time)
9570000
9600000
9630000
9660000
9690000      9696000      9702000      9708000      9714000

To Note:
9720000 - 9450000 = 270000 - checks out okay

9450000 - 270000 = 9180000 (Position A1 Inserts -2)

9180000 - 270000 = 8910000 (Position A1 Inserts -3)

8910000 - 270000 = 8640000 (Position A1 Inserts -4)

9640000 - 270000 = 8370000 (Position A1 Inserts -5)

8610000      8616000      8622000      8628000      8634000

EYL8634987 DOES fit, right where it is supposed to! In position I5.  Therefore, 12/54 = I5

I should have the rest of the CND Journey series CBN $20s done this week.

Hudson should receive The Canadian Paper Money Award 2006 .

OUTSTANDING WORK!!!  8-)

Keep it up and all of us won't have any Mysteries of the Universe left to solve!  

Thanks:)!!  After this, I may reveal to you what will happen at the conclusion of the number Pi.   (I am working on that right now). lol

9960000      9966000      9972000      9978000      9984000

This sheet range encompasses 270,000 notes.

From the same sheet EZJ inserts that I JUST got:
EZJ9954958 48/11 = H5
EZJ9948958 25/46 = H4
EZJ9942958 43/38 = H3
EZJ9936958 54/12 = H2
EZJ9906958 26/26 = G2
EZJ9876958 18/53 = F2
EZJ9870958 41/30 = F1
EZJ9834958 30/41 = D5
EZJ9828958 53/18 = D4

I can merge this with the information of another brick:  EZD, Sept 29th, 2006.
EZD
1950886 53/18  MATCHES to one we know from the above confirmed layout., so we can position this note in its proper coordinate, and map out all the other notes in it's proximity based on this mapping.  This note, EZD 1950886 is D4 in the grid.  Recall skip numbering by 6000. So we must now adjust the skip number pattern to reflect the EZD numerical range.

Mapping the EZD 54/18 onto the confirmed insert layered sheets gives us this: 1950xxx in D4.
9720000      9726000      9732000      9738000      9744000
9750000      9756000      9762000      9768000      9774000
9780000      9786000      9792000      9798000      9804000
9810000      9816000    9822000      1950xxx      9834000

9840000      9846000      9852000      9858000      9864000

9870000      9876000      9882000      9888000      9894000
9900000      9906000      9912000      9918000      9924000
9930000      9936000      9942000      9948000      9954000
9960000      9966000      9972000      9978000      9984000


So, the new grid looks like this: with EZD1842000 as A1
1842000      1848000      1854000      1860000      1866000
1872000      1878000      1884000      1890000      1896000
1902000    1908000      1914000      1920000    1926000
1932000      1938000    1944000      1950xxx      1956000

1962000      1968000      1974000      1980000      1986000

1992000      1998000      2004000      2010000      2016000
2022000      2028000      2034000      2040000      2046000
2052000      2058000      2064000      2070000      2076000
2082000      2088000      2094000      2100000      2106000

Test 1:  Check first number for compliance:
9990000 - 270000 = 9720000 would be Position A1 "Skip 6000 cut group 37" (The actual insert group)

9720000 - 270000 = 9450000.   checks out okay!  Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 36
 
9450000 - 270000 = 9180000 (Position A1 Inserts -2) Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 35
 
9180000 - 270000 = 8910000 (Position A1 Inserts -3)  Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 34
 
8910000 - 270000 = 8640000 (Position A1 Inserts -4) Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 33
 
9640000 - 270000 = 8370000 (Position A1 Inserts -5)

Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 32
Continuing:
Goes to:    amt.       Starts at:
8370000 - 270000 = 8100000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 31
8100000 - 270000 = 7830000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 30
7830000 - 270000 = 7560000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 29
7560000 - 270000 = 7290000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 28
7290000 - 270000 = 7020000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 27
7020000 - 270000 = 6750000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 26
6750000 - 270000 = 6480000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 25
6480000 - 270000 = 6210000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 24
6210000 - 270000 = 5940000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 23
5940000 - 270000 = 5670000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 22
5670000 - 270000 = 5400000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 21
5400000 - 270000 = 5130000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 20
5130000 - 270000 = 4860000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 19
4860000 - 270000 = 4590000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 18
4590000 - 270000 = 4320000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 17
4320000 - 270000 = 4050000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 16
4050000 - 270000 = 3780000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 15
3780000 - 270000 = 3510000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 14
3510000 - 270000 = 3240000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 13
3240000 - 270000 = 2970000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 12
2970000 - 270000 = 2700000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 11
2700000 - 270000 = 2430000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 10
2430000 - 270000 = 2160000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 9
2160000 - 270000 = 1890000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 8  --This is NOT in line with the EZD position, so we can infer from this that there was a number skip of some amount of notes. (45/on sheets do not divide evenly into 10 million incidentally.
1890000 - 270000 = 1620000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 7
1620000 - 270000 = 1350000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 6
1350000 - 270000 = 1080000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 5
1080000 - 270000 = 0810000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 4
0810000 - 270000 = 0540000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 3
0540000 - 270000 = 0270000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 2
0270000 - 270000 = 0000000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 1

OKay this really throws everything off, 1842000 is not one of the AI positions, if things are counted upwards, mapping from the original.  We do know that they do not print all 10Million less one.  Could be variuance in there, so let us look at the EZD's to map it from EZD to EZD.  
1) We know that 1950xxx is D4 from the way we discover inserts, and have even mapped a butterfly error to it.  Therefore, the rest of teh EZD's listed below will shed light on other positions, in relation to the EZD 1950 note.
Here are a group of EZD's all found in one single brick, Sept 29, 2006 in Edmonton.
1991799 44/34
1999905 49/35
2054495 26/26
2158899 12/54
2086754 35/51
1847790 47/33
1919657 23/17
1999799 49/36
1927731 22/13
2062653 39/20
2038895 29/21
1814754 36/31
1830725 33/47
1806765 52/19
1839949 45/45
1893850 13/22
1957999 30/41

Now, let us map these to the sheet defined by the D4 note EZD 1950886
1842000    1848000      1854000      1860000      1866000
1872000      1878000      1884000      1890000      1896000
1902000    1908000      1914000      1920000    1926000
1932000      1938000    1944000      1950xxx      1956000

1962000      1968000      1974000      1980000      1986000

1992000      1998000      2004000      2010000      2016000
2022000      2028000      2034000      2040000      2046000
2052000      2058000      2064000      2070000      2076000
2082000      2088000      2094000      2100000      2106000  

1991799 44/34  - This is position E5 in the grid. Therefore, 44/34 = E5  -- okay this is yeilding some contradictions..... even below, I am mapping different position pairs to the same spot.  Hmmm.  
1999799 49/36  - This is position G2 in the grid. contradiction.... to the original post.

Other way to look at this, well I know that 12/54 is the butterfly which is position I5. One of the EZD that came in that brick was also 12/54, EZD 2158899.  The lowest EZD in the brick was 18067xx, and the highest was this one, giving a spread of 352 thousand, so these notes will not all be on the same sheet mapping.

So starting with this 2158899 note as a basis, and skip counting backwards 6000, gives a new grid like this:
1894000    1900000      1906000      1912000      1918000
1924000      1930000      1936000      1942000      1948000
1954000    1960000      1966000      1972000    1978000
1984000      1990000    1996000      2002000      2008000

2014000      2020000      2026000      2032000      2038000

2044000      2050000      2056000      2062000      2068000
2074000      2080000      2086000      2092000      2098000
2104000      2110000      2116000      2122000      2128000
2134000      2140000      2146000      2152000      2158xxx  ==>EZD 2158899

From the notes found in the brick, we can map them out with reasonable certainty:
1991799 44/34 = D2
1999905 49/36 = D3
2054495 26/26 = F2 (contradicts)
2158899 12/54 = I5 Note: There must be variance of 6000 to be considered. However, note that 2160000 - 270000 = 1890000 Position A1 Skip 6000 cut group 8  works perfectly well here. That is to say, Position I5 is 2154000-2159999, and A1 of the next group is 2160000.
2086754 35/51 = G3
1847790 47/33 (on sheet group below this sheet) + 270000 = 2117xxx on this sheet = H3
1919657 23/17 = A5
1927731 22/13 = B2
2062653 39/20 = F4
2038895 29/21 = E5
1814754 36/31 (on sheet group below this sheet) + 270000 = 2084xxx on this sheet = G2
1830725 33/47 (on sheet group below this sheet) + 270000 = 2100xxx " " = G5
1806765 52/19 (on sheet group below this sheet) + 270000 = 2076xxx " " = G1
1839949 45/45 (on sheet group below this sheet) + 270000 = 2109xxx " " = H1
1893850 13/22 (on sheet group below this sheet) Should be I5
1957999 30/41 = C1

Having some contradictions...  Must address what positions are relative to one another.

Im gonna throw in the EZI insert information, too see if it jives with the EZJ:
EZI
9984xxx 12/54 = I5  Well, this is Good news already!! (Matches the butterfly!)  Neighboring to EZD2152xxx 12/54
9822xxx 16/50 = D3  Neighboring to EZD1941xxx 16/50
9864xxx 49/35 = E5 Neighboring to EZD1992xxx 49/35
9930xxx 32/51 = H1 Neighboring to EZD2080xxx 32/51
9876xxx 18/53 = F2
9852xxx 24/24 = E3 Neighboring to EZD1976xxx 24/24  -- shows up in D4??? AAARRGGH!!
9888xxx 15/37 = F4 Neighboring to EZD2029xxx 15/37
9894xxx 29/21 = F5 Neighboring to EZD2037xxx 29/21
9780xxx 10/14 = C1 Neighboring to EZD1880xxx 10/14
9732xxx 42/28 = A3 Neighboring to EZD1821xxx 42/28
9756xxx 28/42 = B2 Neighboring to EZD1848xxx 28/42
9750
9906xxx 26/26 = G2 Confirmation!  Neighboring to EZD2048xxx

From the brick, an exact example was that EZI 9822350 replaced EZD 1941116.  Both had same FP/BP, which was 16/50 (C3).
Since inserts found in place of missing notes in this brick all held the same FP/BP, I can reasonable assume that the neighboring notes were the same (above and below) in all cases.

EZD 1941xxx is C3 (variance of 6000, which means all position numbers could be shifted left or right one spot). But, we know the layout of the insert sheet, 9.72 to 9.99.  First step, look at the neighboring notes to the inserts. So EZD 1947xxx is going to be in C4, but we don't know for sure what the increment of 6000 fully encompasses.  
Map EZD onto the insert layout, and map further EZD's from the brick into place.
9720000 9726000 9732000 9738000 9744000
9750000 9756000 9762000 9768000 9774000

9960000 9966000 9972000 9978000 9984000

The first assumption we are SURE of, is that it is skip numbered by 6000. Which means that if we have a number 1941xxx, the last four digits are 0000-5999, 8000-3999, 6000-1999, 4000-9999 is out of the question, because we know the number ends in 1xxx.  it is only possible in the first three positions listed.  Start with listing number 1, assume that 1941xxx is a range that is 1940000-1946000.
Becomes:
1868000 1874000 1880000 1886000 1892000
1898000 1904000 1910000 1916000 1922000
1928000 1934000 1940xxx 1946000 1952000
1958000 1964000 1970000 1976000 1982000

1988000 1994000 2000000 2006000 2012000

2108000 2114000 2120000 2126000 2132000

You know what I think I am going to scream.

WOW!  With all these numbers... better get in KPMG or Ernst & Young accounting firms to reverify this...  

Great detective work Hudson.  Looks like it paid off...  You found the secret recipe to the printing of Canadian Bank Notes!    

Hudson should receive The Canadian Paper Money Award 2006 .

He's got my vote.

My head is still spinning.

You would think so eh?  (Thanks by the way...) I did find out through all of this that there were some subtle problems.  
I am lucky, I have 5 or so recorded bricks of EZD in my notes, so I peeled into those to unlock the secret.
Found:
EZD were skip printed in 8000, whereas the inserts within them, were skip numbered by 6000.
Here is the listing of consecutive plate numbers, skipping by 8000.

NOW, the test is to see if it works out!

TEST ONE!   Well, there are 45 positions identified!!  YES!

8000 x 45 = 360000 notes per super-block, as opposed to the inserts, printed skipped by 6000.

TEST TWO:

So starting with this 2158899 note as a basis, and skip counting backwards 6000, gives a new grid like this:
1894000    1900000      1906000      1912000      1918000
1924000      1930000      1936000      1942000      1948000
1954000    1960000      1966000      1972000    1978000
1984000      1990000    1996000      2002000      2008000
 
2014000      2020000      2026000      2032000      2038000
 
2044000      2050000      2056000      2062000      2068000
2074000      2080000      2086000      2092000      2098000
2104000      2110000      2116000      2122000      2128000
2134000      2140000      2146000      2152000      2158xxx  ==>EZD 2158899

INSTEAD of counting back by 6000, lets count back by 8000.
Recall:
EZI
9960xxx 47/27 = I1  Neighboring to EZD2120xxx 47/27
9984xxx 12/54 = I5  Well, this is Good news already!! (Matches the butterfly!)  Neighboring to EZD2152xxx 12/54
9822xxx 16/50 = D3  Neighboring to EZD1941xxx 16/50
9864xxx 49/35 = E5 Neighboring to EZD1992xxx 49/35
9930xxx 32/51 = H1 Neighboring to EZD2080xxx 32/51
9876xxx 18/53 = F2  
9852xxx 24/24 = E3 Neighboring to EZD1976xxx 24/24  -- shows up in D4??? AAARRGGH!!
9888xxx 15/37 = F4 Neighboring to EZD2029xxx 15/37
9894xxx 29/21 = F5 Neighboring to EZD2037xxx 29/21
9780xxx 10/14 = C1 Neighboring to EZD1880xxx 10/14
9732xxx 42/28 = A3 Neighboring to EZD1821xxx 42/28
9756xxx 28/42 = B2 Neighboring to EZD1848xxx 28/42
9750
9906xxx 26/26 = G2 Neighboring to EZD2048xxx
EZJ
EZJ9954958 48/11 = H5
EZJ9948958 25/46 = H4
EZJ9942958 43/38 = H3
EZJ9936958 54/12 = H2
EZJ9906958 26/26 = G2  (confirms)
EZJ9876958 18/53 = F2  (confirms)
EZJ9870958 41/30 = F1
EZJ9834958 30/41 = D5
EZJ9828958 53/18 = D4

So in nice form, we have:
A 3
B 2
C 1
D 3, 4, 5
E 3, 5
F 1, 2, 4, 5
G 2
H 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
I 1, 5


okay so here it goes:
1800000 1808000 1816000 1824000 1832000
1840000 1848000 1856000 1864000 1872000
1880000 1888000 1896000 1904000 1912000
1920000 1928000 1936000 1944000 1952000

1960000 1968000 1976000 1984000 1992000

2000000 2008000 2016000 2024000 2032000
2040000 2048000 2056000 2064000 2072000
2080000 2088000 2096000 2104000 2112000
2120000 2128000 2136000 2144000 2152000  --> based on two posts earlier with matching FP/BP to butterfly note: I5 is then 2152000 to 2159999.

[size=16]So, as a FINAL conclusion!  This puts the positions as (FPN/BPN):[/size]

	1	2	3	4	5
A	52/19	36/31	42/28	33/47	45/45
B	47/33	28/42	31/36	19/52	50/16
C	10/14	13/22	17/23	40/40	23/17
D	22/13	14/10	16/50	53/18	30/41
E	35/49	34/44	24/24	44/34	49/35
F	??/??	18/53	51/32	15/37	29/21
G	20/39	26/26	39/20	21/29	??/??
H	32/51	54/12	43/38	25/46	48/11
I	??/??	??/??	46/25	??/??	12/54

Now, the only ones we are missing from the EZD enquiry are F1, G5, I1, I3, and I4.
We can now merge over some of the other placement information based on the EZI and EZJ inserts, to put in the information of F1 (the remaining four are left unknown at this point).
So, to add:

F1= 41/30.

Viola!  I know it is not TOTALLY complete, but as Meatloaf said, 40 out of 45 ain't bad.

AND AND AND!!!  Before I had done a test with EZD 1950886 mapped to D4, well that works now too!!  WOO HOO!
Man I feel like I just solved a major world mystery!!  

Did someone say... Da Vinci code solved?!!!!!   Hudson, this is amazing.  He has my vote too.  

Hudson, this is amazing.  He has my vote too

 

I Second that one... Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!  

F1: 41/30
I2: 11/48

These are best guesses, but I expect that they will be confirmed.

PS: This means 27 superblocks of 8000 45/on sheets, (27*8000*45 = 9,720,000) plus one superblock of 6000 45/on sheets (1*6000*45 = 270,000). (9,720,000+270,000 = 9,990,000)

PS: This means 27 superblocks of 8000 45/on sheets, (27*8000*45 = 9,720,000) plus one superblock of 6000 45/on sheets (1*6000*45 = 270,000). (9,720,000+270,000 = 9,990,000)

Yes, that is absolutley correct.
