Flash cards aren't meant for "finding the answer". That's because 
they're random (and flashy ;-)

I'm now learning RoR, and, seeing these cards, I'm thankful for 
Elizabeth for creating them. It's nice to go over them after you've 
finished reading a chapter in your book. Of course, as you wisely 
remarked, later I'll just go and "find the answer" and not look at 
cards.

We aren't dealing with a mere 'programming language' but with 
framework(s).
