Hi,

I've been using the openSM2sync protocol on my own database instead of on
toy databases. My database contains 8000 cards, 250 000 repetitions and
weighs in at 30 Mb.
That's quite a DB, Peter.  If I may ask, can you tell me what sorts of cards
you're using?  I don't want to pry, so only say what you're comfortable
saying (including nothing!), but am curious as to what you're studying on
those.
Also, just out of curiosity, how long have you been building that up, and
what's your average number of cards per day that you end up getting
scheduled?

Thanks!

Michael

I've been wondering that myself. Mnemosyne has been out since 2003,
so: (2010-2003)*365.25*x = 250,000 reps, 7*365.25*x=250000,
2556.75*x=250000, x=97.8,

98 reps on average sounds improbably high to me - I have >15k cards,
quite a few of which I have trouble with, added in the last 3 years,
and even then, my average rep (when not swollen by some mass imports
from studying assembler or Korean or whatnot), is around 110 or so.
Maybe my intuition is off for how the SM2 algorithm should work, but
it seems to me that the average ought to be much lower.


I'm a little off on the terminology - "average rep of 110 or so", that's the # of cards you hit per day? How far into the future are the last few that you hit? I'm still pretty new at this, but my "score as 5" ones; usually the last 1-3 it schedules me for a day are hitting into the 1year+ range now.
