Thank you. I’m glad you find it useful.

> However, what I have personally noticed is when we consider 10 for instance, a shield and a spear, it becomes two objects and two digits of things, Unlike an elaphant (19) , which is single.

I see what you mean, so I will try to clarify it further. The idea is to use one object only, in my case I use the Spear itself as “01” , no other shape-image has a shield, so it would be up to the individual to use whichever, either the spear, shield, or both.

When I use it to memorise number digits, the Spear is always inside the next object. No need to use the shield. The idea is to use the digits to remind you of the image.

10 is Stick & Drum | A man with a big belly | A man playing drum on his belly.

So here it’s the same. You can either choose the Stick, Drum, or both.

I personally use the Stick only and hit the next object regardless of what the next object may be.

You can also use it with PA, or PAO

PA  
07 10

07 = James Bond  
10 = Stick & Drum

James Hitting with a Stick on the Drum on his belly.

PAO - Let’s add 20 = Snail  
07 10 20

James Hitting with a Stick on A Snail on his Belly.

or  
07 01 20  
James Spearing through a Snail

Hope this helps.  
If you have more questions, I’ll be happy to answer.

> When I first got into the world of memory techniques a few years ago, the standard 0 - 9 number shapes worked really well for me, but there was nothing else after the 0-9 shapes, so then I studied and practiced the Dominic and the Major systems for creating images from the numbers 00-99. The process of recognition of the numbers and letters was not instant with me using the major or the dominic systems, but it was with the number shapes from 0-9. I tried to combine all systems into a single sys…
