Sedra-Stats
10th of 54 sedras; 10th of 12 in B'reishit
Written on 254.6 lines in a Sefer Torah
The sedra is a single, long (the longest in the whole Torah) Parsha (P'tucha, open)
146 p'sukim - ranks 8th (5th) tied with B'reishit
2022 words - ranks 3rd (2nd)
7914 letters - ranks 2nd (first)
Mikeitz's p'sukim are unusually long for a big sedra. That's why it is so high in the rankings for words and letters.
Meiketz is the only Chanuka sedra 70.5% of the time, and it shares the honors with Vayeishev another 18.4% of the time. Only 10.1% of the time is it not read on Chanuka, but rather the day after.

Mitzvot: none of the TARYAG (613)
