My Approach to Pi (to 120 digits)

The body system is well known with memorisers. It’s usually used for a small list, such as 10 items shopping list etc.

I use the body system as “A Palace On The Fly” for short term memory.
So If I was to memorise a few pieces of data of the person, such as a phone number, their job, home town etc, I just use the body of the person who is in front of me, or I just simply use one of my Dominic character’s body for a palace on the fly.

As for the scenario walk thru;
I use the body of the person, starting from the hair, eyes, nose. This 3 location is what I’d need for the phone number as explained before. You can also use the environment of the person, like his left side, right side, front of him, above him etc.

For example, for the phone number I mentioned above;
1234 5678

The first loci is Hair and I use 4 digits at a time.
12 : Abbie
34 : Milk

I just imagine the action is happening on top of the person’s hair. So Abbie is sitting down on his hair with a glass of milk in hand, pouring it down the person’s hair, making a mess. And so on with the next 2 locations which are the eyes and the nose.

I will then have 7 other locations left on the body to use for the Binary Digits.
I use Binary digit system for the binary which I convert 3 binary digits into a single number digit, so for 12 binary digits I will have 4 number digits, which again is a single loci.

I’ll have 6 Locis left to use for words or anything I want to use it for.

As for the 10 Words, I just use 2 words at a time to create a mini-story and attach that to 5 locations. It still leaves me 1 loci left :slight_smile:
