Ok, so I have hits... I did not even know!

And now I'm wondering what the total exposure days of all registered bills are.

Emmem, of course you're right - there are several factors which should be taken into account when labeling someone "unlucky". However, I think that we both agree that Donald and Hjkmans qualify in several categories - has been member for a long time, entered plenty of notes, lives in an area with high concentration of trackers, and travels + spends notes in several cities (well, don't know about Hjkmans, but Donald has said that for himself). - I had been thinking of the time span as well, and you created an excellent term for that: exposure days.

The total amount of exposure days must be astronomical. I made rough calculations using the very first notes I've entered during the six months since I started tracking. I'm a simple girl and like to keep things simple as well, so I took the easy way out and figured that all the notes which I entered in January have been in circulation at least the whole February and ever since, never mind the days of January. All February's notes have certainly been circulating since March 1st and so on.

Using these figures I came to the conclusion that the 781 notes which I entered during the first 6 months had accumulated into 49849 exposure days by the end of June. During July and August these old notes almost doubled that, 781*(31+31)=48422, and that figure does not even contain those hundreds of notes I entered in July, August and so on. Impressive, I must say! Now just imagine a user with thousands of notes and let's say 500 days as a tracker!

Sorry to bother you again Avij, but would you please dig into the database to find out who is Donald's successor in Germany?

And by the way, Wimpy/Belgium seems to have found something even more precious than a hit:

One serial is not valid but the other one is, that why I noticed.

Can't we make this an item in the stats? Look fine by me to see who the unluckiest are...

Maybe, but the title should be modified. It may sound a bit demeaning, after all.

One more user has struck lucky! Hista's first hit was recorded today, after 2339 notes. Avij, could you please dive into the database and find the next Finnish user?

.. anna pirulle pikkusormi ja se vie koko käden ..
Obviously new people are going to get hits all the time, so it's not practical if I have to dig that data every time. So, here's a new procedure that you can use to find the unluckiest person:

Go to Statistics->Rankings
Select the country from the dropdown list
Locate the person who used to be the unluckiest
Click on the next user's name and locate this text: Number of interesting hits
If the number is zero you've found the unluckiest person in that country, otherwise go back to step 4

To save your time, it looks like NaSu is the next person in line, with 1058 notes.

This option is new, isn't it? A great improvement Avij!! Thank you!

Yes. There's going to be a listing (or a link to a listing) of those interesting hits [on that Account details page] some day, this was just a quick way to answer Annie's question.

Nice tool to see the 'luckyness-rate'.

What do you think of our Nr 3 (fast moving towards Nr 2) friend from Germany ~LeuBs~?

He has more than 25.000 bills, and only 1 hit!!!!!

I admire his perverence to go on with entering bills like this!!!

But as we see often in the hit-list..
Be patient, and on the moment you doesn't hope anymore, you get 1 nice international hit!!
like this one...

I really like the pace at which improvements are introduced these days ...
It hasn't been always like this

Keep up the good work aviji, we love you
