My Where's George Week in Review: 03/04/12 - 03/10/12

In the past week, I received 25 hits in 7 States [CA¹⁸, HI², IL, NV, NY, RI, WA]. I now have hits in 28 States in 2012 with 1 new this week: RI. The number of States hit in 2012 continues to amaze me as I expect the number to end up in the high 30s (maybe low 40s) but it now seems like low-to-mid 40s may be more likely.

Of those 25 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 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 279 Days 20 Hours 49 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
04	05	06	07	08	09	10
3	3	4	2	5	5	3

Although a light week for hits, I still managed to get a hit (2 actually) each day to continue the hit streak. The streak is now at 74 days just a few breathes away from the top spot (my longest streak so far has been 79 days). So if all goes well this week, I'll tie the longest streak on Thursday and have a new record for longest streak on Friday.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, this week reversed the positive buffer I accumulated for bill entries last week, and I'm back to being a bill behind where I need to be. I expect that the bouncing above/below will continue for at least a couple more months. Bills with hits and total hits still continue to be way ahead although I didn't add much to the reserves this week:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	P	P/W	PtD	WvP	DvP
Bills Entered	16720	17596	17675	79	955	21720	95.6	17676	-17	-1
Bills with Hits	2430	2639	2660	21	230	3445	19.4	2624	+2	+36
Total Hits	2799	3056	3081	25	282	4030	23.5	3034	+1	+47

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 86.56% [+0.27%]. This was an even week goal-wise, and so I maintained my 7 bill lead in this category:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	G	GfW	GtD	WvG	DvG
$1s Entered	14427	15228	15300	72	873	18959	71.6	15293	+0	+7

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I kept with what appears to be my normal rate so far this year (10 2009 bills for every 1 2003A). This put me slightly ahead for the week on what I needed, and for now, I'm well ahead of the pace needed to complete this goal this year:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ			WΔ	YΔ	WvG	DvG
2003A	3603	3652	3656	4	53		Goal	36	433	+2	+47
2009	1339	1830	1872	42	533		Actual	38	480

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", I'm making progress on all but Minneapolis. Philadelphia is still "in the red", but that should only last for a couple more weeks.:

	SoY	SoY%	SoW	SoW%	EoW	EoW%	Goal		GtD	DvG
San Francisco "L"	8532	51.03%	8896	50.56%	8932	50.53%	< 50.0%	49.94%	8974	+42
Boston "A"	461	2.76%	494	2.81%	499	2.82%	> 2.8%	2.85%	491	+8
Cleveland "D"	395	2.36%	506	2.88%	512	2.90%	> 2.4%	2.45%	421	+91
St. Louis "H"	382	2.28%	417	2.37%	420	2.38%	> 2.3%	2.35%	407	+13
Philadelphia "C"	376	2.25%	390	2.22%	394	2.23%	> 2.2%	2.25%	398	-4
Minneapolis "I"	352	2.11%	362	2.06%	362	2.05%	> 2.1%	2.15%	374	-12
Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	321	1.82%	324	1.83%	> 1.7%	1.75%	307	+17

This was one of the weaker weeks of results so far this year, and yet, still a positive week in many regards. My excitement and interest in whether or not the hit streak will get to 80 days is currently quite high, and it wasn't until I ran the numbers, that I realized that the number of hits received this week was below the norm for the year. I'm curious to see that if getting the streak to 80 days wanes my interest or if I have continued excitement seeing how long the streak can go.
