My Where's George Week in Review: 01/15/12 - 01/21/12

In the past week, I received 29 hits in 5 States [AZ(2), CA(23), HI, NJ, NV(2)]. Of those, 1 was the 3rd hit on the bill, 2 were the 2nd hit on the bill, and the rest (26) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 362 Days 15 Hours 48 Minutes after I originally entered it. I surpassed 17,000 bills entered overall during the week.

All three weeks this year have been 29 hit weeks. This puts the month ahead of the pace needed to break my record for most hits in a month (125: October 2011). Looking forward to seeing if that pace holds for the remaining 10 days of the month.

The longest active bill for the week is the longest for the year and was so close to being my fourth three year active bill. It'd be the first with more than one hit and is now my longest active two hit bill.

The pressure cooker this week was Tuesday with my first hit of the day coming while I was driving home from work. Every other day of the week had a morning hit. With another week without a hitless day, my steak has extended to 25 days (tied for my sixth best).

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I had a really good week. My bill entries are back ahead of schedule (by a mere two bills) and my bills with hits and total hits continue to to pad their lead.

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 86.40% [+0.11%]. I'm finally getting to be a few bills ahead on this goal:

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I'm still falling behind but still am not concerned. I'll cover a bit more on this below when discussing a summary of bills entered 16001-17000.

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"; the San Francisco bills are still going in the wrong direction, good progress is happening on Cleveland, and everything else is mostly a little behind. I've ordered some new 2009 Kansas City bills, so I'll start to make progress on "J" shortly.

Another good week of Georging is in the books. The hits felt a little less exciting this week (more first hits / more staying in California) but they still rolled in. I'm starting to make progress towards my "hit coolness" metric and should start sharing data on my experiments so far.

I like to summerize entered bills by the 1000s, so now that my 17th group of 1000 is in the books, it's time to report what's interesting. My entries of ones and tens was up from the previous 1000 and fives and twenties were down. I expect ones to grow more in the next group. Series 2006 is still king and even grew in numbers after five straight declines. 2009s were practically even still making up roughly 40% of entries. I had expected 2009 to surpass 2006 this group. I still expect that to happen in the 18th group. San Francisco still is the top of the FRBs making up ~49% of entries the past 5 groups (and 7 of the past 8). Cleveland made the biggest jump (up about 50 entries) while Richmond made the biggst drop (down 20) followed closely by Chicago (down 18). The biggest excitement block letter wise was the entry of an "X" block bill (my 3rd). "A", "B", and "G" block all had 100+ entries.
