Interesting. My set of cards was, in fact, small. I had another thought
though. If I happen
to remember a card easily, and the system doesn't present me with that card
often
because of that, then its score will be artificially low. Which means it will
keep presenting
me with that card even though I know it.

I had hoped that the adaptive spaced repetition feature would mean that the
program
keeps track of the time between now (when through a wrong answer I have
demonstrated
that I forgot the card) and the last time I demonstrated I knew the card, and
then base the
next scheduled presentation of the card on that information. And in this way
help me
work the card up the "forgetting curve".
