Re: MNEMONICS.

I see someone has edited the post I submitted on 2009-01-02.  I had written:

_s_e_x_ over here = sine: opposite / hypotenuse

but someone or something had removed the naughty word _s_e_x_ and replaced it with gender giving the nonsense you can see above.

Hi random_fruit;

I can't find the post where that happened but the site has a filter to weed out offensive or colorful words.

Re: MNEMONICS.

I remember 3 mnemonics.

1. To determine the inauspicious time (Rahu kaalam) of the day as per Hindu religion. The inauspicious time lasts for 1 1/2 hours starting from 7.30-9AM.

Mother Saw Father Wearing The Turban on Sunday.

Monday-7.30-9AM, Saturday-9-10.30AM, Friday-10.30-12AM, Wednesday-12-1.30PM, Thursday-1.30-3 PM, Tuesday-3-4.30PM, Sunday-4.30-6PM.

2. Spectral class of stars

Oh Be A Fine Girl Kiss Me!

3. Color code in Resistors

B.B.ROY of Great Britain has a Very Good Wife.

Any more mnemonics???

For the resistor one my CT teacher at school taught us this

Bad Boys R*** Ordinary Young Girls But Virgins Go Without

Not exactly PC but this was the eighties, apparently it came out of BNFL, BAE Systems and Leyland Motors. Not sure if there is any
truth to that.

Hi Daja;

You might consider a speed reading course. Sometimes a person's mind can wander while reading because the normal way is too slow to keep the brain interested.

Re: MNEMONICS.

For resistors, my electro teacher simply said that the order was simply like the colors of the rainbow minus indigo plus grey and white.
