1. Always a useful technique. Medics have long used mnemonics and rhymes to remember their anatomy.

   When I was leaning thermodynamics, I remember the lecturer bringing in a wind-up gramophone and setting it on the desk to play the Flanders & Swann’s disk. He said that it explained the subject very well. I’ve never forgotten it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnbiVw_1FNs

   1. I enjoyed that.Thank you.:)

2. Most interesting idea……Should assists all who learn….or try to remember. 😉

   1. Thank you.I wonder if we might use a limerick to remember other things.

      I laid my gold watch in the fridge
      Then I put into my sandwich.
      But at least I did’t lose it
      Nor did I confuse it
      And it’s not real gold,like my bridge.
