My Where's George Week in Review: 01/13/13 - 01/19/13

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 hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I got 26 hits in 9 States [CA¹⁷, CO, NV, OH, TN, TX, UT, WA², WY]. Of those hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 4 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (21) were the initial hit on the bill. Below is a calendar view of the hits throughout the week:

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
13	14	15	16	17	18	19
7	5	4	3	4	1	2

I came into the week with a 9 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended to the streak to 16 days.

Of the 9 States in which I received hits this past week, 5 were the first hit for that State in 2013: CO, OH, TN, UT, WY. Overall I've received hits in 16 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

0         51

Previous New Still Needed for Goal Beyond Goal

For four of those States, it was the first hit I had gotten in that State for while: the hit in Ohio was my first since August of 2012, the hit in Tennessee was my first since March of 2012, the hit in Utah was my first since October of 2012, and the hit in Wyoming was my first since July of 2012.

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 490. The newly hit counties were Eagle CO and Erie OH. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

483       581

Previous New Still Needed for Goal

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 43 Days 22 Hours 26 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 35^th on my all-time longest active list.

I made predictions regarding bill entries and hits and new bills with hits for 2013. Here's a look at how I'm doing towards those predictions:

	SoYStart of Year	SoWStart of Week	EoWEnd of Week	WΔWeek Change: Number Added this Week	YΔYear Change: Number Added this Year	PPrediction (for Year)	P/WPrediction for Week: A Week's Share of the Total	PtDPrediction to Date: The Portion of the Prediction that should be Completed so Far	WvPWeek versus Prediction: How the Week's Numbers Stack Up Against the P/W	DvPDate versus Prediction: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the PtD
Bills Entered	22920	23128	23236	108	316	28920	115.1	23232	-7	+4
Bills with Hits	3704	3750	3771	21	67	5074	26.3	3775	-5	-4
Total Hits	4330	4386	4412	26	82	6030	32.6	4418	-7	-6

So I finished the week a little behind the needed rate for each of these. At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 6071 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 115.0 bills per week for the rest of the year.

Looking at my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 87.64% so the goal is 88.64%), my percentage is now 87.70% [+0.06%].

Regarding my goal of increasing my non-San Francisco FRB entries, here's a table of my current progress:

I still need to acquire some Dallas bills to insert, otherwise the other FRBs are either on track or not to far behind.

As I posted a couple days ago, I found three Wilds this past week: a $1 from Glen Campbell, PA, a $1 from Santa Clara, CA, and a $1 from San Jose, CA. The Pennsylvania bill traveled for two and a half years before it got to me.

While it was a good week for wilds, the past week didn't end up being that great for hits which is disappointing since it started off so well. Really it was just Friday and Saturday that were light, and hopefully that doesn't carry over into next week.
