My Where's George Week in Review: 03/31/13 - 04/06/13

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 35 hits in 6 States [AZ², CA²⁶, ME, MI, NY, WA⁴]. Of those hits, 1 was the 4^th hit on the bill (my eighth four hit bill and my second straight week with one), 9 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (25) 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
31	01	02	03	04	05	06
2	6	1	4	8	8	6

I came into the week with a 51 day hit streak. I got a hit on every day of this week which extended the streak to 58 days: good for a tie 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

Of the 6 States in which I received hits this past week, 1 were the first hit for that State in 2013: Maine. Overall I've received hits in 31 States in 2013. Here's how that stands towards my goal of 46 States hit:

The hit in Maine was my first since August of 2012.

Additionally in the past week I received my first hit in 2 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 504. The newly hit counties were Hancock ME and Lapeer MI. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 4 Years 13 Days 12 Hours 43 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 7^th on my all-time longest active list. My top ten longest active bills list is now:

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 with Hits	3704	4005	4030	25	326	5074	26.3	4064	-1	-34
Total Hits	4330	4697	4732	35	402	6030	32.6	4777	+2	-45

I was surprised that I was short on my bill entered mark for the week: I had thought I'd easily have surpassed it in this past week. It was a good week for hits, and my bills with hits and total hits for the week were right on target.

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 6159 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 114.0 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 88.01% [+0.38%].

Dallas "K"	953	4.16%	1033	4.23%	1038	4.23%	4.36%	1036	+2	34

At this point in the year, if I've entered 26 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB. Looks like I'm going to need more than 100 bills to insert for Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and Boston.

Another good week of hits, but this week was saved by an impressive final three days of the week. April and May were my top two months for hits last year, and I hope this's years are at least as good as last.
