how do you frame these cards? I've always assumed something like this would be too information dense to be useful



Basic stuff. Dijkstra's algorithm, union find, etc.

I will note that some cards are basic: A simple recall. Other cards ask for me to reproduce the whole algorithm (a violation of SR methodology).

All cards that take a long time to answer are stored in a separate deck, which I go through only when I know I have the time to dedicate.
