My Where's George Week in Review: 10/28/12 - 11/03/12

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 26 hits in 8 States [CA¹⁸, HI, MD, NV, OR², TX, VA, WA]. I still have hits in 44 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 473 counties with 1 new this week: Salem City VA.

Of those 26 hits, 6 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (20) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 215 Days 15 Hours 55 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
28	29	30	31	01	02	03
2	5	6	2	2	4	5

My current hit streak is now at 28 days tied for my 9th best all-time.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was a positive week for all three stats (although it didn't feel like it for total hits and bills with hits):

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 87.48% [+1.19%]. Ones are really dominating my entries currently, and I don't foresee that changing until I start Christmas shopping (assuming I don't do the majority of it online).

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6471 entries this year rather than 5000						20243	97.1	19321	+8	+70

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, my 2003A entries seem to be increasing slightly (nowhere near what would be needed to catch back up to 2009) but 2009 continues to extend it's lead:

2009	1339	4602	4672	70	3333		Actual	63	3077

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", only Philadelphia and Minneapolis went the wrong way, but not by enough for it to be a concern:

October finished with 113 hits tying February for second-worst total hits in 2012. November isn't off to a hot start, but it's really too early to comment on how it will end up.
