I don't intend to discourage anyone from trying your method, Oisín. But I think the quest for "only one or a few cards ... which reliably hangs" has been tested in other ways, and there is no reliable or predictable pattern. Here's an example. I set autosave after 20 repetitions. In eight successive runs of the program, it hung on this numbered card: 3, 13, 3, 13, 15, 20, 20, 53. Because my progress was not autosaved until it got to card 21, each of the eight runs was performed on the *exact same sequence of the same cards numbered 1-20*. You can see that although there is some repetition of which cards hung, it is also not regular or predictable. For example, it hung on card 3 twice, but passed it successfully six times (25% failure on card 3). It hung on card 13 twice, but passed it successfully four times (2/6 or 33% failure on card 13). Lack of a repeated, predictable pattern is also evident in the results Chris has posted. So even if one could go through an entire deck as you describe and identify one or more cards which "reliably hang," running the test again would very likely identify a different set of "reliably hanging" cards. Or to say that another way, just because a hang happens on a certain card, it may not to hang on that card in a different run. I'm just speaking from frequent experience with this bug for the last five months, beginning with beta 10: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mnemosyne-proj-users/TcNvXsGSEnM
I think there are two other indications that the problem is not in the cards themselves. First, Peter has examined decks from some users who have experienced the problem, and he hasn't reported anything wrong in their structure. Second, decks which hang in one person's computer don't hang in another user's computer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
