The important part here is that you correctly answered a card after 188 days - a long interval which suggests that you know the card very well. Randomisation helps, among other things, to avoid you unconsciously memorising the order of items in the deck (e.g. when I used Pauker, sometimes I knew what the next card was going to be before it appeared due to this). If you want, you can try answering a 2 on that card 100 times by opening new windows as before, then answer 3 on the card 100 times. The average intervals should converge such that the grade 2 answers have a slightly shorter duration than the grade 3 answers (and similarly with grade 4/5). Probably the thing that makes it seem odd to you is simply that the interval factors are closer than you expected. This is pretty common with newcomers to the program (and probably other SRSes).
