Interesting, thanks for the info. With cards where it is very important that my recall be as good as possible, I have been grading them as 2 across the board, because I found that my retention average was far too low when I graded "appropriately". I have been doing that for so long (over a year) that I practically forgot that 4 means "the interval was correct". If you say that that part of the scheduling algorithm hasn't changed, I believe you; maybe I got a little "unlucky" with the random noise. These cards were in a new category that I created after moving to version 2; could that have any effect on the spacing? > > (it even gave it to me twice in one day, and when I looked > > at the card stats it said it had an interval of -1). > > That's certainly not supposed to happen (unless it's close to the nightly > rollover) I'm pretty certain it was not, but I might have exited and relaunched Mnemosyne in the meantime (on the same day). If I think I notice anything funky again (like a card with interval -1), I'll pass it on.
