Yeah, that would probably give you a big headstart if you could manipulate it before the beginning - and then again at the end. But, what, 64% in 5 weeks ain't good enough for you???

It kind of reminds me of an old Married With Children episode (my #2 all-time favorite comedy behind Andy Griffith - how's that for a value clash?). Steve (Al Bundy's next door neighbor and a banker) is in a race to win a trip with the other lenders at his bank. He leads with minutes to go. Al comes in for loan to fund some hair-brained idea. His credit is horrendous. Steve laughs at him. Then, the guy in second place goes up to board and moves his marker ahead of Steve's and gives him a look like, "Na... na na .. na .. na.". There is about 1 minute left before the deadline, so Steve stamps Al's loan papers, moves his marker to the lead, get's the trip. But of course also suffers the consequences.
