My Where's George Week in Review: 10/07/12 - 10/13/12

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 29 hits in 8 States [CA²¹, HI, IA, IL², KS, NC, UT, WA]. I still have hits in 44 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 470 counties with 3 new this week: Polk IA, Rush KS, Jones NC.

Of those 29 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 2 were the 2^nd 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 4 Years 200 Days 0 Hours 22 Minutes after I originally entered it making it my all-time longest active bill beating my previous best by 144 days.

A week full of hits starts a new hit streak off with 7 days.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was a pretty good week. Additionally, I got my 4000^th hit this past week.

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 87.37% [+1.08%]. I'm starting to build up a nice buffer for the rest of the year.

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, this has been completed for a few weeks.

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", most went in the desired direction (Boston and Minneapolis being the excepts). I'm done inserting bills, so now we'll see how these numbers hold up:

This week was a nice week for hits especially given last week. Getting my new all-time longest active plus my 4000^{th hit helped add to the excitement of the week.}
