My Where's George Week in Review: 05/12/13 - 05/18/13

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 40 hits in 7 States [CA³², CO², FL, ID, IL, NV², TX]. Of those hits, 6 were the 2^nd hit on the bill and the rest (34) 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
12	13	14	15	16	17	18
5	4	7	6	6	6	6

I didn't have a hit streak coming into this week. By getting a hit every day this past week, I now have a 7 day hit streak.

Of the 7 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 34 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 3 counties bringing my total of counties hit to 523. The newly hit counties were Pueblo CO, Canyon ID, McLean IL. I set a goal of 98 new counties hit in 2013, and here's a look at my progress towards that goal:

483       581

Of the bills hit in the past week, the longest active bill from the bunch was re-entered 3 Years 340 Days 13 Hours 52 Minutes after I originally entered it. That bill is now 18^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:

After a couple of disappointing weeks, this past week was better than expected. My bill entries were way up due to a trip to a casino (I use slot machines to "cycle" bills). Bills with hits and total hits were well above expectations also.

At the current rate I'm entering bills in 2013, I'll end up with 7816 bills entered. To hit my goal of 6000 entries, I'll need to just average 93.9 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 88.11% [+0.47%].

At this point in the year, if I've entered 38 bills for a particular FRB than I'm on pace to enter 100 bills for that FRB. My massive number of entries this week resulted in a number of the FRBs falling behind their needed pace. I don't know if this will be corrected by the end of this week but hopefully it will within a couple weeks.

This week I got my 51^st two hit/three State bill which traveled from California -> Oregon -> Texas.

This past week has been fantastic for hits and has helped put May back on track to be respectable. The extra bills I've entered over the past couple weeks should help drive up hits and bills with hits in the next couple months.
