My Where's George Week in Review: 04/01/12 - 04/07/12

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is now hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I received 32 hits in 3 States [CA³⁰, NV, TX]. 3 States is the lowest amount of States I've hit in a week this year while 32 hits in a week is my second most. How odd to have both of those statements apply to one week. I still have hits in 29 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 399 counties with 1 new this week: Washington TX.

Of those 32 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 4 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (27) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 126 Days 3 Hours 32 Minutes after I originally entered it.

The big goose egg on Tuesday ended a 15 day hit streak. So I'm back starting from scratch trying to beat the 81 day streak.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was another good week for bill entries, and I'm now almost a full week ahead of the pace needed for this year. Bills with hits and total hits had another excellent week, and I'm still way ahead of pace:

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 86.72% [+0.43%]. I was one bill behind the needed pace this week, but I still have a slight lead in this category:

$1s Entered	14427	15627	15743	116	1316	18959	116.9	15726	-1	+17

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, it was a fantastic week for this goal (perhaps the best gain all year):

2009	1339	2089	2173	84	834		Actual	78	746

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 probably a one or two from turning the San Francisco line to green. Minneapolis gets farther and farther behind, but I've yet to find any "I" ones worth considering for purchase:

A strong finish to the week helped saved this week from being lame. Hopefully that momentum will carry over into next week, however, Easter tends not to be a great day for hits, so we'll see.
