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

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 38 hits in 8 States [AZ, CA²⁸, CO, ID, IL, NV⁴, NY, TX]. I still have hits in 44 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 478 counties with 1 new this week: Kankakee IL.

Of those 38 hits, 3 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (35) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 4 Years 1 Day 8 Hours 16 Minutes after I originally entered it good for fifth on my longest all-time active list..

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
11	12	13	14	15	16	17
5	7	3	5	5	10	3

Friday's 10 hits made it my first double digit hit day since July 27th, and my eighth of the year. The seven additional days of hits extended my current hit streak to 42. Thanksgiving and Black Friday are tough days for hits, so I won't be surprised if the streak fails to make it through the week.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was an exceptionally good week for 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 87.52% [+1.23%].

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, series 2009 now has over a 900 bill lead and is closing in on leading by 1000:

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 were either even or moved in the wrong direction, but once again, those movements weren't large enough to be concerning. San Francisco will likely move back above 48% by end of year but shouldn't approach 49%:

This week was my best week for hits in quite a while. Will be interesting to see if the momentum continues, but I certainly enjoyed the increased activity this week.
