My Where's George Week in Review: 10/21/12 - 10/27/12

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 [AZ², CA¹⁷, IL², MD, NE², NM, NV, WA³]. I still have hits in 44 States in 2012 with none added this week. Additionally I now have hits in 472 counties with 2 new this week: Morgan IL, Washington NE.

Of those 29 hits, 2 were the 3^rd hit on the bill, 2 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (25) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 346 Days 6 Hours 55 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is currently my 7th longest active.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
21	22	23	24	25	26	27
6	4	4	3	4	7	1

Adding all seven days from this week increases my hit streak to 21 days.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, it was another good week for all three stats:

	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

Total Hits	2799	4032	4061	29	1262	4030	23.5	3811	+5	+250

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 87.44% [+1.15%].

Dynamic GoalProgress towards the goal based on my actual rate of entering bills per day which would result in 6490 entries this year rather than 5000						20259	114.1	19223	+8	+63

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, 2009 continues to add greatly to its lead:

2009	1339	4531	4602	71	3263		Actual	65	3014

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", there wasn't a lot of change this week, but five of the seven slightly moved in the wrong direction:

Kansas City "J"	290	1.73%	548	2.50%	550	2.49%	> 1.7%	1.75%	387	+163

It was a respectable week of hits. While October won't challenge the record for most hits in a month, it's now unlikely to end at as the worst month for hits in 2012.
