Gavino's Massive Memory Palace System Question

General Memory Chat
1

Hello,
Today i made my first memory palace with 10 loki per room and i ran out of loki.Now, i read a post about MMP and i want to know if i understand.
Instead I put a visual representation of coffee molecule on my TV, i should imagine my Skyrim character playing on my ps3 and this will remind my of Skyrim and the memory palace i have there.So instead of 1 item in 1 locus,i made a link between a locus in my room with another memory palace, so i made from that 1 locus 90 loki(my skyrim memory palace).I understand right?
And i dont get the last part:
"think you may be getting the hang of it, but finally for now, how about this? Do you by any chance have 100 Dominic System characters? Or 100 people from the beginning of a PAO system.

Now normally I don’t recommend using DS characters as pegs, because I prefer to keep them for numbers, but if you need a big palace fast…

  1. Link your 100 DS characters to the 100 loci in your house.

  2. Now simply have a memorable location for each character. As it happens Sharon Stone is my 66, but why couldn’t you do this for each of your DS characters?

Your DS characters should generally be memorable enough to get at least one decent 10-loci mini location from each, but even if not, take Adolf Hitler who is my 18. I have no great knowledge about him, but with very little effort I could imagine him next to a tank or delivering one of his speeches, perhaps from a balcony, or planning his strategy in a war room with his generals. No problem getting 10 loci there a la the Sharon Stone method above if need be. [Tip: Add a jeep to the tank and you are pretty much there!]

So, now your DS system of 100 characters, has quickly turned into (potentially) a memory palace with 1,000 loci!"

What is a PAO or a Dominic system and how can i link a character to a loki?
And if i do this, 1 locus will link 2 memory palaces?

How can i remember historical dates like : On 5 january 1859, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was chose the Prince of Moldova
How can i remember the 159th digit of pi?
How can i remember a deck of cards?

I don’t know how to do that with other systems, but I do that by making memory journeys of 10 locations each. I put four digits in each location. I then mark each of the journeys with a number shape image.

So if you ask me, “What is the 159th digit of pi?”, I divide by 40 (the number of digits). 160/40 is 4, so I know that the end of the fourth palace (with a small modification, see below) would be the 160th digit and then I can walk back one digit to find the 159th.

I can find the fourth journey by looking for the number shape image in front of it (a flag).

Because I encoded the decimal place (a butterfly dropping a stone on an otter), the first memory journey is filled like this:

3.14 1592 6535 8979 3238 4626 4338 3279 5028 8419

The decimal point means I have to shift everything over to the left by one digit. So to find the 159th digit, I look in the 160th digit’s spot, where there is a 5.

You can practice here. :slight_smile:

Anyone got any Party Tricks?
