Today's queue
4 cards — 0 due, 4 new (budget 4)
- #18Kids who eat breakfast get better grades. What is wrong with concluding that breakfast causes the grades?They only move together. A third factor — like parents with time to cook — could cause both, or the direction could run the other way.
- #19"You would say that, you work for them." Name what I just did wrong.That is ad hominem — you attacked me instead of my argument. Where I work does not make the claim false.
- #20"Either we ban phones in school or we do nothing." What have I left out?That is a false dilemma — there are more options than two: time limits, phone lockers, teaching phone habits.
- #21Three of my friends tried the new study app and their grades went up. Should I write that it works?No — three people is far too small a sample. A pattern that small is easily just chance.
Tomorrow's queue (preview)
Moving the clock moves DUE dates. The new cards at the bottom do not move: they wait for a lesson to introduce them, not for a day to pass.

Upcoming days
What the queue builder would return at 09:00 on each of the next 7 demo days, and a one-click “travel there and prepare”. These are projections: grading a card moves its next review, so every day you actually play changes the days after it. Lessons are cached per day, so you can prepare several and play them in order.

New cards enter a lesson in creation order, up to 4 a day — Anki's model (PLAN §4), so a card authored today queues behind every older New card.
11 new cards are waiting, so the most recently authored one is about 3 lessons away — LESSONS, not days. A new card counts as introduced only once it has been graded, so the clock control alone will never admit it: travel forward and the same new cards are offered again, because the day's budget was never spent. Spending it takes a lesson: run one and the cards it grades are the ones that stop being offered.
