Hi,
I made a lot of cartoon images where the clothes, hair and colours of clothes and hair encrypt maths digits.
I made a video about it and how it does multiplication.

I’m really interested in your project and method, you are doing such impressive work here.
I confess I didn’t understand how numbers are multiplied in your system tho, I feel the video could be a bit more didactic, but that’s my point of view because my English sucks and I’m new in the mnemonics world.
Kind regards
Hi CrasheR,
Here is another explanation! I hope it helps.
1234 is containing “What is 12 x 34?” and “What is 62 x 34?”
(5 was added to make the second question).
Person 3456 is containing “What is 34 x 56?” and “What is 84 x 56?”
(5 at the left column was added to “What is 34 x 56?” in order to make the question: “What is 84 x 56?”
The answer is thought about as 4 digits. So even 0203 (“What is 02 x 03?”) is thought about as 0006 rather than just 6. In that way, the leftmost 3 digits of the answer can be hidden in the hair style and hair colour of the person.
And my method will only tell you the “000” and you need to work out the 4th digit: you need to work out the 6.
That is not very useful for a small multiplication but it is useful for a bigger multiplication question.
12 x 34 = 0408. You can work out the final digit: the 8; but the hairstyle of the person is the 04; and the hair colour of the person is the 0. So the person tells you the left side of the 4 digit answer: 040_ .
The list of hair styles are enumerated. So if you look up the hair style (or hat) of person 1234, you can see that it is hairstyle 04. If you look at the enumerated colour chart, the hair colour mathches with the colour chart colour for 0: black.
The same person solves “What is 62 x 34?” = 2108. But since 5 has been added on [“What is 62 x …” rather than “What is 12 x …”], it is not the hair that we look at but instead we look at the clothes.
You have to work out the final digit: the 8. The clothes colour on the person is the 2; the clothes top is the 1 and the clothes bottom is the 0. So the 210_ of 2108 is solved for you.

Well, I’m a native English speaker and I had to look up what “didactic” means, so you aren’t doing too badly
