"This applies..."

Please Let Granny Brown Bring Peaches To Your Wedding

Used it to remember which Warfarin tablet color correlates to which strength. It's consistent regardless of the manufacturer.

Pink - 1mg Lavender - 2mg Green - 2.5mg Brown - 3mg Blue - 4mg Peach - 5mg Teal - 6mg Yellow - 7.5mg White - 10mg

This applies to manufacturers used in the U.S.

"If you're having..."

If you're having a hard time remembering a person's name or a thing, slowly go through the alphabet while visualizing that person or thing. When you get to the letter the person or thing's name starts with, a surprising amount of times, the name will come back to you. Not always of course, but as I said, a surprising amount of times it works.

"When memorizing stuff..."

When memorizing stuff like flash cards and that type of thing, I just make dirty or stupid puns/jokes to make them entertaining. It works really well and I smile like an idiot taking tests.

"My chem teacher..."

Mnemonics for the periodic table. Lead = Plumbers = Pb Silver = Almost Gold = Ag Gold = Thieves will steal it = "Au, come back with my gold!" Sodium = Would you like some more salt? = Na

My chem teacher had one for almost all of them.

"I taught this..."

I taught this to my girlfriend who has since shared it with all of her friends. It used to bother me when she would always get out her phone calculator when time to tip on a bill. So I told her for a standard 20% tip, just move the decimal one place over and then multiply by 2. Say it's a $45.00 bill, moving the decimal gives you $4.50 and multiplying by 2 means a $9 tip.

The next step I have to teach her is rounding so that the total comes out to a nice whole number, but it's a start.

"And there's a plus or minus chance..."

Quadratic formula: There's this really negative b, right. And there's a plus or minus chance that he could get into this radical party. Well he gets in and starts square dancing. Then he plays poker and loses 4 aces. It's a really radical party and it's all over at 2AM.
