Just made my 00-99 PAO with an extra null (I’ll use the null for the ’ of Rubik’s cube notations) I know (I KNOW) that making your own PAO is useful but I think people will get a boost if they can see a finished PAO. I already added my 100 some verbs to the list on this sites PAO wiki.
I snagged your PAO to help me with mine. I have a strategy I am using for mine to help remember who is where. I works like this: 0-9 are looney toon characters 10-19 are hot chicks 20-29 are sports stars and so on. I have an issue though. I think doing it this way could create more confusion. Since each number in the series will have a similar person before or after them. I was thinking about making everything that ends in 0 looney toon characters and numbers that end in 1 hot chicks. Till I work this out I will be filling in the A and O of the PAO. I used the second option on my Deck of cards PAO and it seems to work fine. But prehaps making all the hearts Mortal Kombat character and all the diamonds Streetfighter characts would have been better than having the 2’s as dead rappers and the 3’s as street fighter character and the 4’s as ninja turtles. (I endup keeping only two of the 4 turtles cause they look to muhc alike. I put Optimus Prime and megatron in their place.) That said I think your like will help. I hope your NSFW list is mre exciting!
I created my own PAO system, couldn’t be arsed to deal with the A=1, B=2 etc, instead I used the numbers themselves as a mnemonic to learn the PAO associated with it,
i.e. 88=Arnold Schwarzenegger, flexed arms, with dumbbells. the 88 look like two dumbbells to me, and so makes it faster to learn, whilst making it your own
I didn’t use my PAO while focusing on my thesis, but I have a new desire to memorize all the last layer algorithms for Rubik’s cube, starting with corners so I worked on my PAO in the following ways:
1: Any PAO that represents the alphabet must maximally contain that letter of the alphabet
i.e. before Werewolf prances around sticks → Werewolf washes windows
Variety is good so spread out memes on your PAOs. I was memorizing R-‘-F-2-L-’ across two loci, with a separate PAO for ’ and for 2, now I have R’-F2-L’ and it seems much more random and memorable. The edge formulas had me recall a Mime sailing an umrella (M2U before every formula once or twice, now it has more variety.
When you create your idea to PAO chart have overall themes.
i.e. before the second digit was related to the PAO, 70 Frodo carries ring, now I grouped the first digit into sections based on the “P” of my PAO. 1-26 = Alphabet; 27-29 = musicians; 30-39 Animals, 40-49 Careers, police, nurse etc.; 50-59 Movie-TV Characters; 60-69 Mythical beasts/Gods; 70-79 Book Characters; 80-89 Famous people; 90-99 People I know.
