Interview on Memory Techniques with Grandmaster of Memory Ed Cooke

Interesting to see that it’s 2-digit system and looks possibly arbitrary and not phonetic?

What did you think about this article? Do you have any questions, or is there anything that could be improved? We would love to hear from you! You can leave a comment after clicking on a face below.
Experimenting myself with pegs, I believe that phonetic-based pegs are a hindrance. I think this is why the major system is not the way to go. Even though I got pretty good at the major system, I couldn't stop myself from sounding out the numbers. I have decided (again :-) to go with a 2digit person-action (Dominic) system. I know the top competitors use a PAO system, but I think I would ultimately unwieldy in the real world (good for competition situations).
