How do I get a reminder in 2 hours and 15 minutes?
How do I ask to be reminded of something in 2 hours and 15 minutes? I have tried the following iterations unsuccessfully:
remind me that one plus one is two in 2 hours and 15 minutes
remind me that one plus one is two in 2 hours 15 min
remind me that one plus one is two in 2.25 hours
remind me that one plus one is two in 2:15 hours
remind me that one plus one is two in 2 hours and 15 minutes
remind me that one plus one is two in 2 hours 15 min
remind me that one plus one is two in 2.25 hours
remind me that one plus one is two in 2:15 hours
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?It's possible that Sandy is getting confused with the multiple numbers. (i.e. "one plus one is two".) Try something like
> remind me to move my car in 2 hours and 15 minutes
Or you can use quotes around the confusing material. Anything in quotes is treated as a special item and Sandy doesn't try to understand it.
> remind me that "one plus one is two" in 2 hours and 15 minutes. -
Inappropriate?oh sorry, i guess my example was bad. i just used "one plus one is two" as my generic reminder. did you actually try to send that reminder to sandy? because that gives me something like response #1 below.
to clarify, this is what happened when i sent sandy the following examples. i sent all of these in an email at 12:53pm.
i email sandy:
remind me about blahblahblah in 2 hours and 15 minutes
sandy interprets this as "remind me in 2 hours" :
#1 2:53pm Blahblahblah and 15 minutes
- Email reminder at 2:53pm
i email sandy:
remind me about blahblahblah in 2 hours 15 min
sandy interprets this as "remind me in 2 hours" :
#2 2:53pm Blahblahblah 15 min
- Email reminder at 2:53pm
i email sandy:
remind me about blahblahblah in 2.25 hours
sandy interprets this as "remind me at 2:25pm":
#3 2:25pm Blahblahblah in
- Email reminder at 2:25pm
i email sandy:
remind me about blahblahblah in 2:15 hours
sandy interprets this as "remind me at 2:15pm"
#4 2:15pm Blahblahblah in
- Email reminder at 2:15pm

Inappropriate?You're right. This is a bigger problem than I thought it was. Looks like you've found a bug. Sandy is not parsing the time correctly. You might want to mark this thread as a problem rather than a question. (Red exclamation mark.) I tried the same things you did: (It's about 2:45 pm right now.)
#1> remind me to move my car in 2 hours and 15 minutes. @todo
#2> remind me to move my car in 2 hours 15 minutes. @todo
#3> remind me to move my car in 2.25 hours. @todo
#4> remind me to move my car in 2 :15 minutes. @todo
#5> remind me to move my car in 135 minutes. @todo
The only one that worked right was #5.
#1 Sandy set a reminder in 2 hours (Sandy missed the 15 minutes)
#2 Sandy set a reminder in 2 hours (Sandy missed the 15 minutes)
#3 Sandy set a reminder at 2:25 pm (The next day)
#4 Sandy set a reminder at 2:15 pm (The next day)
#5 Sandy set a reminder at 5:08 pm (Correct!)
#1 and #2 are clearly errors.
In addition to your problem, I've personally had problems telling Sandy to remind me of something in "a half hour". That didn't work and instead set a reminder for 7 am the next day. When I used numbers and had her remind me of something in "30 minutes" then it worked.
I’m concerned
