Felt fast, was slow

Predict your time

Why it matters A prediction written before you start cannot be adjusted afterwards to fit what happened. That is what makes it worth comparing.

The next two lessons are a matched pair: the same skill and the same difficulty on different data. Timed problem A allows the AI tutor. Timed problem B switches it off.

The browser records when you first open each lesson and when you first pass it. Guess how many minutes that will be for each. Then say which you expect to be faster. The shape (put your own numbers in; the course's minute estimates on each lesson are a rough guide, not a target):

predicted = {
    "c-felt-fast-was-slow/timed-problem-a": <your minutes>,
    "c-felt-fast-was-slow/timed-problem-b": <your minutes>,
}
faster = "a"   # or "b" or "same"

Be honest, not modest or brave. The lesson at the end of this module is only useful if this guess is what you really think. Do not change it after you have done the problems.

Recap Two numbers and one word, written before you start.

Your turn

Assign predicted: a dict with the keys "c-felt-fast-was-slow/timed-problem-a" and "c-felt-fast-was-slow/timed-problem-b", each holding the number of minutes (1 to 240) you expect from first opening that lesson to first passing it. Assign faster: "a", "b" or "same". Write them as plain numbers and strings, so the last lesson can read them.
