My Where's George Week in Review: 04/07/13 - 04/13/13

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 38 hits in 6 States [AZ, CA²⁷, MO², NJ³, TX³, WA] as well as an international hit in London, United Kingdom. Of those hits, 1 was the 5^th hit on the bill (my first five hitter!), 2 were the 3^rd hit on the bill, 5 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (30) 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
07	08	09	10	11	12	13
8	2	8	3	6	5	6

I came into the week with a 58 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 65 days: good for my 4^th longest streak all-time. Here's a look at my all-time ten longest hit streaks:

Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days		Rank	Start Date	End Date	Days
1.	10/07/2012	01/02/2013	88		6.	09/26/2011	11/18/2011	54

5.	07/28/2011	09/23/2011	58		10.	07/21/2010	08/21/2010	32

Of the 6 States in which I received hits this past week, none were the first hit for that State in 2013. Overall I've received hits in 31 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 4 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 508. The newly hit counties were Cape May NJ, Monmouth NJ, Glasscock TX, Whatcom WA. 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 356 Days 14 Hours 36 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 13^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:

Total Hits	4330	4732	4770	38	440	6030	32.6	4810	+5	-40

A good week for all three stats. Nice to have bills with hits and total hits take a nice bite out of my current deficit.

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 6194 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 113.6 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 88.04% [+0.40%].

This week I got my 49^th two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Oregon -> Washington.

What a great week of results in regards to Where's George! This seems like it must have been one of my best weeks of all-time. I've probably only had a couple weeks with more hits. Add the excitement of my first five hit bill, and international hit, and another two hit/three State, and you've got quite the week.
