This challenge offers what many of us here love the most, a chance to over commit ourselves and melt our brains

This challenge is to "do" 10 000 srs cards in a 20 month period. A convenient time to do this challenge is between 1 May 2016 and 31 December 2017, since this matches the super challenge, and it is possible to do this challenge as an adjunct to the super challenge.
I'm going to speak of this as if you have to do the challenge with anki. You are welcome to use any other srs system. If you use something other than anki, figure out how to do something the equivalent.
You have won the challenge, if at the end of the challenge (600 days roughly) you have a total of 10 000 cards in the review section of your deck (a total of 10 000 cards that are either "new and learning" or "mature") and none of these cards are suspended ordue for review that day.
You can rush through 10 000 cards in a few months and then do the reviews to keep them current. You can fall behind and then start 1000 new card the final day reviewing them to where they are all due the next day. You can start 20 000 cards and delete or suspend half of them when you get bored with them. If you've done the card at least once, and it isn't due on Dec 31, 2017, or 20 full months after you start, you have met the challenge.
For the purposes of this challenge any card with an L2 on at least one side counts as a card. A card and its reverse count as different cards. Different MCD cards of the same sentence count as different cards. Sentence cards, cloze cards, cards of different drills, cards of verb conjugations all count as cards. Both L2->L1 cards and L1->L2 cards count as cards. Characters count as cards. You can mix different types of cards and different languages in the same deck. You can make several decks and just total the cards from the different decks. Some ways of setting up your deck and are easier or faster than others. Some types of decks and some types of cards are easier and faster than others; you should do what you find most useful for your study.
You should feel free to hold yourself to higher standards if you want.
