So for instance if the second number you had to memorize was say 53, then you can picture Elizabeth II riding a lama (because "lama" is 53 in the major system), or you can think of the sentence "the queen is lame". I personally like using images of animals, but to each his own.

Elizabeth could just as well be a mummy (33) or boss (90).

"Elizabeth" has four consonants : LZBT, which is 5091. There's no way I would confuse her with a number between 0 and 99.

Elizabeth II represents 2 for me because the number 2 is literally in her title.

I'm not sure you understood my method, so again : the concepts in the recall table do not use the major system. Only the numbers they are pegged to, do. If the n-th number in my list is x, I turn x into a word with the major system and I create a mental association of that word with the n-th entry in my recall table.

Let's say I want to memorize the first few decimals of pi : 31 14 15 92. I must associate :

* 31 to Attila. I can imagine him trying to speak and failing, because he is mute.
* 14 to Elizabeth II. I can imagine her looking down on me in her castle, from the top of a tower.
* 15 to the Troyan war. I can imagine Helen of Troy playing with a doll.
* 92 to Catherine Deneuve. I can imagine her riding a poney.

etc.

Try my method to memorize 40 decimals of pi. I bet it will work.

It gets even more confusing when you have more than one seed to remember.

You probably don't have many seeds to remember but you're right, it's probably a bad idea to use this method to memorize several seeds.
