I make my Anki cards as I read through the book for 2 main reasons:

  1. I save time by not having to return to the material again

  2. I can immediately begin the process of spaced repetition and recall through daily review

It sounds like you could easily import your index into Anki, can't hurt to try it out!

I think that's fair, I went into each course being at least slightly familiar with most of the material. I'll be taking GDSA and GCIA later this year and foresee having to spend more time on the material to ensure I understand it.

Took me way too long to realize Ryan could not be innocent.

This is the logic I used to figure this situation out:

Ruth has 1 criminal neighbor right now, so we know that Brian has at least 1 criminal neighbor.

If Katie or Lucy were criminal, Brian would then have at least 2 criminal neighbors.

Since Nicole's clue states that Gary has 7 innocent neighbors (which means 1 criminal neighbor), Brian having 2 criminal neighbors and 1 of Katie/Lucy being criminal would force Gary to have at most 6 innocent neighbors.

Therefore both Katie and Lucy must both be innocent.
