My Where's George Week in Review: 03/11/12 - 03/17/12

In the past week, I received 30 hits in 10 States [CA²⁰, CO, LA², MD, NM, NY, OR, TN, TX, WA]. I now have hits in 29 States in 2012 with 1 new this week: MD. Hitting 10 different States in one week is the most in any week so far this year, and the 30 hits in a week ties for second best.

Of those 30 hits, 4 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (26) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 199 Days 0 Hours 48 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
11	12	13	14	15	16	17
4	3	5	4	7	2	5

Once again, I had a week with no hit-less days, and the streak has extended to 81 days (a new personal record). I've never had three months in a row with no hit-less days, so if this streak can last for two more weeks, that'll be another new record set.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, there's nothing really new to report. Bill entries are practically even while hits and bills with hits are still way ahead:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	P	P/W	PtD	WvP	DvP
Bills Entered	16720	17675	17771	96	1051	21720	95.6	17772	+0	-1
Bills with Hits	2430	2660	2686	26	256	3445	19.4	2644	+7	+42
Total Hits	2799	3081	3111	30	312	4030	23.5	3058	+6	+53

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 86.61% [+0.32%]. I was slightly ahead this week after being behind for the past two and still maintain a slight lead over where I need to be for the year:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ	G	GfW	GtD	WvG	DvG
$1s Entered	14427	15300	15391	91	964	18959	87	15380	+4	+11

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I continue to power ahead. This goal is now really a waiting game as it's going to fall eventually, just not anytime soon:

	SoY	SoW	EoW	WΔ	YΔ			WΔ	YΔ	WvG	DvG
2003A	3603	3656	3665	9	62		Goal	43	476	+15	+62
2009	1339	1872	1939	67	600		Actual	58	538

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", progress is good for each of those but Minneapolis (still looking for 2009 "I" bills). Cleveland is now 100 bills ahead, and 5 of the 7 are at the percentage needed to achieve the goal for the year:

	SoY	SoY%	SoW	SoW%	EoW	EoW%	Goal		GtD	DvG
San Francisco "L"	8532	51.03%	8932	50.53%	8959	50.41%	< 50.0%	49.94%	9018	+59
Boston "A"	461	2.76%	499	2.82%	508	2.86%	> 2.8%	2.85%	494	+14
Cleveland "D"	395	2.36%	512	2.90%	524	2.95%	> 2.4%	2.45%	424	+100
St. Louis "H"	382	2.28%	420	2.38%	427	2.40%	> 2.3%	2.35%	409	+18
Philadelphia "C"	376	2.25%	394	2.23%	400	2.25%	> 2.2%	2.25%	400	+0
Minneapolis "I"	352	2.11%	362	2.05%	363	2.04%	> 2.1%	2.15%	376	-13
Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	324	1.83%	329	1.85%	> 1.7%	1.75%	309	+20

Another solid week of George-in'! I think that perhaps I'm inserting my 2009 bills for the desired FRBs at too fast of a rate now (2 out of every 7 $1s I enter is "inserted"). I think when I first got a few straps of bills to enter, inserting 5 bills per strap per 100 bills made sense, but now I'm inserting 40 bills per 100. If I do chose to slow down the rate, I'll have to balance the slow down with still getting all of the inserted bills entered by the end of the year.
