Summary: Stat Prof hooked on Where's George?!
First Name: Roy
Profile:I read about Where's George in 1999 and thought it was a cool idea but I didn't take a look at the website until November 2002 when I got a marked bill in change. That piqued my curiosity, I joined, and now I'm hooked. I teach statistics at Northern Arizona University. Maybe that explains why Where's George intrigues me -- the whole idea of collecting data on how money moves.
