Memory Technique =    Recieving Technique + Recording Technique

                                  + Retaining Technique + Recalling Technique

                                  + Concentration          +  Enjoyment

Learning how to learn is more important than learning itself. To learn anything one should have a good memory. There is no learning without memory.

This is a system, I learnt from  John Louis, who is a  "Grand Master of Memory, an international memory trainer" and my dad. I learnt this method by attending his memory training classes outside home several times and not at home. He never teaches me anything special seperately at home. He always says children learn better in groups and the fun and joy in learning is missing when children learn from their parents at home.  Moreover, a home should be a home and not a school.

Applying this system, I have memorised 300 binary digits (0, 1, 1, 0.....) in 15 min and 100 random numbers (7,3,9,1,6,0....) in 15 min , mastered the code numbers for all 100 years useful for human calendar, memorising the  position of the pieces in rubiks cube to solve it blindfolded etc.

If you are interested in learning this method, please go through the following.                   

Generally, people have difficulty in remembering numbers. Come on, try to recall your credit card number, insurance policy number, some essential telephone numbers etc. If you have done it correctly, you are an exceptional case! Why are we not good at remembering numbers. They are meaningless and can not be seen as a picture like anyother objects such as book, pencil, key etc. So, the best way to remember numbers is to convert  meaningless numbers into meaningful picture.

There are many systems to convert  meaningless numbers into meaningful pictures. Out of all, the most interesting one is " Phonetic sound and its value sytem". This is the best of all, if you want to remember more numbers in bits or a very long series of random numbers etc.  

Every number from zero to nine is assigned with some phonetic sounds. Using the phonetic sound, a nice picturisable word (noun) can be framed by combining the phonetic sounds of the number. When framing the word for each number using the phonetic sounds, we can use the vowels and w,h, y letters which all have no values.

PHONETIC SOUND & ITS VALUE TABLE

MEORY TIPS FOR REMEMBERING PHONETIC SOUND & ITS VALUE

NO VALUES TABLE

EXAMPLE  -  1 :-

What is the meaningful word for 6 ?

• One of the phonetic sound for 6 is "SH".
• Now can you make a word having sh sound and other no value letter(s) ?
• The first word coming to my mind is "SHoe".
• SH value is 6, The letters O and E are vowels. Hence no value for them.
• So the peg word for number 6 is SHOE.

EXAMPLE - 2 :-

What is the meaningful word for 84 ?

• One of the phonetic sound for 8 is "F" and for 4 is "R".
• Now can you make a word having F sound and R sound using other no value letter(s) ?
• The first word coming to my mind is "FuR".
• F value is 8 and R value is 4, the letter "u" is a vowel. Hence no value for it.
• So the peg word for number 84 is FUR.

MY PEG WORDS TABLE

In the table no value letters are given in lower case , the phonetic sound have values are given in Upper case and silent letterare given within bracket in lower case for better understanding of framing the peg-wordfor every number.

HOW TO MEMORISE 555 CUBE FOR BLD ?

                There are 98 pieces (54 centers, 36 edges, and 8 cornors). Out of 54 centers, 6 pieces are fixed ans solved already. So, there are 92 pieces we have to memorise. If you want to blindsolve  piece by piece, then apply the peg system, decribed above in this page, to name the pieces and apply journey system to memorise. This is the system I used to blindsolve 555.

              If you want to blindsolve using 3 cycle system, then apply PAO method. How to create the Persons for 92 pieces is a difficult task. Here is the original method- DOMINIC SYSTEM, which my dad taught me IN 2004. As I am not  familiar with those English names and the actions are confusing to me, I did not take it as it was.. However, I understood the system fully well. Based on the idea of Dominic system I prepared my own persons and actions using my mother tongue TAMIL and tamil names with the help of my dad. This is the system I use to memorise cards, binary digits, random numbers in association with peg system(for objects) and journey system (to store the memorised information). Since, I have not learnt cycle system for blindsolving big cubes, I am not using this system for blindsolving big cubes.

            Now, I am interested in sharing with you all, the original Dominic system which I learnt in English, as almost all of you are english speaking people. The persons may be well known to you and the actions of them may be a culture, where you live. So, I think itmay be a great use to you to learn to memorise 555 cube.   

                But, there are some mistakes in actions. Mistakes in the sense, same action such as eating, shooting, singing, playing etc are assigned for many persons with different object. Since, we are going to use PAO method for memorising 555 cube, the actiond should be unique to every person. That is why , I prepared my own 100 different unique actions for all 100 people.

                Hope, it is useful to many of you blindsolvers. In my opinion, I am able to vizualise the PAO prepared in my mother tongue more clearly than that of in my second languge.

                HAPPY MEMORISING CUBES!!!

NOTE:-  If there is any Tamil speaking cuber in any part of the world, I like to share my method of assigning persons to each number!!
