What is your mnemonic image for the number 97 or 097, and why?


In my system 097 (SUHK) is “sucker punch”.

97 was clay tablets (from Major System “ePiC” [of Gilgamesh]), but I’m replacing all the images that were originally created with the Major System.

97: Bug. (for me this is actually The Love Bug)

097: Spike (Spike and Chester cartoon characters)

[Edited: for some reason I originally put 4’s instead of 9’s]

I’m rather basic with my system – major system, with no extra sounds, for every two-digit combination, plus a few additional multiples of 10.

97 = pug (dog variety), though I considered “pig,” “bag,” and “book” (all of which seemed too generic)

097: I have nothing, but would consider “Spock” is that image weren’t already at aside for the seven of spades… Perhaps “spoke,” “spike,” or “sawbuck” (a ten dollar bill)

97 / 097 (Major system) = bike / spaghetti
I like items that can have action. Bike is perfect and spaghetti works well without going gross with an ice pick.

spaghetti will work just totally fine.
Remember one thing, choose any one image between these. (If you are going to use 3 digit system.)

Noodle, ramen or spaghetti. (If I have to choose I will pick ramen.)

Otherwise it may take you to confusion in recalling. (Unless you are a foodie :upside_down_face:.)

@Rajadodve786, I’m a foodie, but it’s still confusing. I have :spaghetti: spaghetti and noodle but :fireworks: Roman candle and not :ramen: ramen. I liked Roman candles as a kid for July 4th.

So I had to switch my noodle after checking because of you. Now it’s an :ant: anthill. 355 is horrible for choices but I think a molehill is distinct enough from an anthill so I’m sticking with the two hills.

well I have a mole in my collection too.
And this is what I imagine for it.
Whack a mole (game)

Person: Tony Blair (British PM elected in '97)
Action: popping/spilling champagne bottle
Object: champagne bottle / podium

I have really mixed feelings about Blair and I’ve made the champagne popping kind of, um, icky, so this image is really provocative and ‘sticky’ for me

Spock is good. Might give him a try.

I absolutely would’ve used Spock if I had gone to three digits :slight_smile: I wound up using him instead for my card system (he’s the seven of spades)…

Recognizing my own limitations (and constrained by the fact that I had a hard time with Major System images that included unused digits), I contented myself with two-digit images 00-99 plus one-digit images – in combination, they cover numbers of any length, but I sometimes use custom images for more digits if they’re particularly appropriate.

97 = Pokey (from Super Mario World). In my card system, it is 7​:club_suit:K​:diamond_suit:/7​:diamond_suit:K​:club_suit:

097 = Zipcode (I always picture a red mail box). In cards, it is 9​:spade_suit:7​:spade_suit:/9​:heart:7​:heart:
