That's a clever way of ensuring your workload is roughly constant each day - although the number of new cards seen every day will gradually drop as more cards are learned and come up for review each day (i.e. eventually more than 60 cards will come up for review and you'll see no new cards). Might be nice actually, to plot the number of new cards seen every day as the number of known cards increases, for a given "magic number". The learner is faced with either a drop off in the rate of new cards seen, or an increase in workload/time spent (by revising that target number upwards). Would be interesting to see at what rate that happens... Oisín -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
