Did you change your username or something? Can’t find you on the leaderboard

Finally lvl 5 after 9 days and 12 hours! :relaxed:

No, I didn’t - but I just checked the previous revisions of the leaderboard, and it seems like someone accidentally deleted me or something (was still included until revision 478)

I see. OK, you’re all set!

Forgive this random post but I just read from your profile that you’re in Nara and couldn’t resist making a pun.

奈良なら奈良公園に一緒にいく?

hehehe, you just said “nara” three times.

On another note, if WK is a shinkansen, I just fell off it.

WHOOAHHHH, HUNTSMAN SPIDER ON A CHAIR

The apparent lack of pictures online of a huntsman spider on a chair is, I must say, disappointing, given the prevalence of those spiders. Damn it Australia get your shit together.

Great! I couldn’t find you on the chart, although I do remember you from before! Sorry! I’ve got you added.

Great work on coming back after a year and a half away!

This is weird, I clearly remember having updated myself to level 9, but just now when I wanted to update to level 10 I was still level 8. Also, I remember having ordered all the lower levels, now they are unordered again… did we somehow accidentally revert a lot of changes?

We did! 478 -> 479 by @anon23775762. Don’t worry about it, nobody got hurt. But do you maybe remember how this could have happened? Just so we can try to avoid this in the future.

I thought I had a lapse of memory when I edited myself to 9 and was still on 7 in the table. I was so certain I did the edit to 8 last week.
So glad I’m not getting forgetful yet. ^^

I assume what might have happened is, that irenebean had an edit open for a longer time and send it after other people already accumulated a lot of changes.

That’s probably what happened, since I kept checking to make sure I wasn’t deleting anyone’s info when I was moving my row to keep things ordered. It didn’t occur to me that others could be editing at the same time! :sweat:

Level 8 now! A few days faster than last time, since I’ve had time to do lessons a bit more.
Speed: 18 days, 10 hours, 27 minutes

Question for faster people, do you focus on lessons and reviews at the same time, or do a ton of lessons, and just keep up with reviews as days go on? Hope that made sense? :sweat_smile:

I am terribly inconsistent, but I will generally do about 20-30 lessons a day, paying attention to whether I can hit the 4 and 8 hour reviews throughout the day (or the next morning; I will also do 10 or 20 in the early evening sometimes if I did well on the morning lessons’ reviews.).

I’m not as fast as I used to be, but I’d usually start with doing all my reviews in the morning and then do 15 to 20 lessons, then make sure I’d do the first review on time, and the second too.

Now that I have more on my plate, I generally just do the reviews, do 10 to 15 lessons (yeah i upped it from my 5-10 earlier) and then just do more reviews during the day whenever I have time.

I hope to get my speed up to 10 days per level again.

Well, I’d say I belong to the latter category - I try to get my lessons down to zero as quickly as possible (depending on how much time I have on any given day) and do my reviews as they come up.

However, sometimes this means I wake up in the morning to, like, 120 new reviews which is… a real fun way to start your day… :sweat_smile:

Level 20!! One third of the way there! \(^▽^)/
It took a little longer to level up this time. Now onto the lessons… (;-_-)

We’re too busy admiring Huntsmans when we see them to take photos of them. Those long-legged beauts :ok_hand:

Interesting! I’ve been doing some of the same, btu at a lower pace/scale. So, I’ve been doing 10-15 depending on the day and how reviews are going. I think I want to ramp it up now, though. Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!

Gotcha! I’ve been doing this schedule, but some days I won’t do any lessons at all if I feel I’ve been sucking at reviews. I think I just need to stick to them consistently from now.
