My Where's George Week in Review: 02/19/12 - 02/25/12

In the past week, I received 24 hits in 8 States [CA¹⁴, GA, IN, MA, OR², TX, UT, WA²] as well as an international hit in Chester, United Kingdom. I now have hits in 26 States in 2012 with 1 new this week: IN.

Of those 24 hits, 3 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (21) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 324 Days 18 Hours 29 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
19	20	21	22	23	24	25
3	3	6	3	5	2	2

The 24 hits received in the past week were the fewest of any week so far in 2012. Regardless, I still got a hit each day to continue my hit streak. The streak is now at 60 days and is my second longest all-time. With the top streak going for 79 days, this streak still has a ways to go before it catches up.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, this week was basically an "even" week for all three stats. I fell an additional bill behind on the needed entering rate and was two "bills with hits" above what was needed. This week was what I was expecting a typical week to turn out to be at the beginning of the year.

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	P	P/W	PtD	WvP	DvP
Bills Entered	16720	17388	17483	95	763	21720	95.6	17485	-1	-2
Bills with Hits	2430	2589	2610	21	180	3445	19.4	2585	+2	+25
Total Hits	2799	2998	3022	24	223	4030	23.5	2987	+0	+35

Based on the goal of 5000 bill entries, here's how I'm doing towards my bill entry goals. Starting off with my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 86.29% so the goal is 87.29%), my percentage is now 86.53% [+0.24%]. I fell a couple bills behind in this category also, but it's hard to not think that, for the most part, this was also "even" for the week.

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	G	GfW	GtD	WvG	DvG
$1s Entered	14427	15044	15128	84	701	18959	86.1	15119	-2	+9

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, here's a goal where progress was made. After decreasing the deficit to below 2000 last week, it went below 1900 this week. I expect that the "hundreds" milestones will likely get surpassed every other week from here on in.

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ			WΔ	YΔ	WvG	DvG
2003A	3603	3644	3650	6	47		Goal	43	346	+5	+23
2009	1339	1701	1755	54	416		Actual	48	369

And for my goal of decreasing San Francisco "L" FRB entries below 50.0% while increasing Boston "A", Cleveland "D", St Louis "H", Philadelphia "C", Minneapolis "I", and Kansas City "J", Boston has almost been flipped to the positive side otherwise, for the most part, the other FRBs are doing the same as last week. I have more Boston bills coming my way, so FRB "A" should soon be skyrocketing ahead.

	SoY	SoY%	SoW	SoW%	EoW	EoW%	Goal		GtD	DvG
San Francisco "L"	8532	51.03%	8823	50.74%	8855	50.65%	< 50.0%	49.94%	8885	+30
Boston "A"	461	2.76%	478	2.75%	485	2.77%	> 2.8%	2.85%	485	0
Cleveland "D"	395	2.36%	477	2.74%	489	2.80%	> 2.4%	2.45%	416	+73
St. Louis "H"	382	2.28%	405	2.33%	410	2.35%	> 2.3%	2.35%	402	+8
Philadelphia "C"	376	2.25%	384	2.21%	387	2.21%	> 2.2%	2.25%	393	-6
Minneapolis "I"	352	2.11%	359	2.06%	360	2.06%	> 2.1%	2.15%	370	-10
Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	312	1.79%	317	1.81%	> 1.7%	1.75%	304	+13

Its interesting to think that this was my expected average week at the start of the year since in comparison to the other weeks this was a disappointment. Having my hit streak move into second place was definitely the highlight of the week.

Cleveland entries "artificially" surpassed Boston ones due to my work to pump up my lower FRBs. I have more Boston bills on the way which will even the rate of additional entries for those two, however, until the "D" bills run out, Cleveland will have a roughly a 53 bill head start. It will be interesting to see if Boston re-passes Cleveland or if the increase of "D" bills (compared to "A" bills) in the area is enough for Cleveland to hold the lead.
