My Where's George Week in Review: 09/23/12 - 09/29/12

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 37 hits in 12 States (yes, I'm counting the District of Columbia as a State mostly because Where's George does) [AZ, CA²⁴, DC, IL, MD, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TX², WA²]. I now have hits in 44 States in 2012 with 1 added this week: DC. Additionally I now have hits in 464 counties with 4 new this week: DeKalb IL, Baltimore City MD, Ocean NJ, Mercer PA.

Of those 37 hits, 1 was the 4^th hit on the bill (my first four hit bill since February), 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 3 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (32) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 193 Days 6 Hours 18 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
23	24	25	26	27	28	29
9	2	7	3	3	7	6

Add another 7 days to the hit streak, and it now stands at 25 days which is tied for my 10th best hit streak all time.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was another good week for all items. I should surpass my predicted number of bill entries for the year next week:

Total Hits	2799	3921	3958	37	1159	4030	23.5	3717	+13	+241

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 87.30% [+1.01%], so for now, this goal is completed, but that could easily be reversed.

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6646 entries this year rather than 5000						20396	107.8	18879	+4	+45

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, this has already been completed. I'm closing in on having more hits on 2009 bills than 2003A.

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", all moved in the desired direction this week. I'm a week (at most two) away from completing the insertion process, and then it'll be fun to see how the numbers stack up:

Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	533	2.47%	540	2.49%	> 1.7%	1.75%	380	+160

It was another good week for hits, and September is currently fourth on the list of my top hit months. Six hits behind third place with a day to go makes it unlikely that September will move up from fourth, but clearing 130 hits is nice after August failed to get to 110.
