Editing FurstSystem

= FurstSystem = Created by Dr. Bruno Furst and first published in the 1940s. The course, titled "You ''Can'' Remember", is still sold today. == Basics == Uses a PegSystem of 100 images, each of which is a word that converts into a two-digit number using the MajorSystem (40 = Rose, 52 = Lion.) Each image is also linked to a related image (2 = Noah, which is linked to Ark) to create two complimentary lists. Four-digit numbers are converted into one image from the main peg list and one from the alternate list. == Good Points == Only uses the MajorSystem, so no alternate NumberSystems need to be memorized. == Bad Points == There's no distinction between an image used as a peg and one used as a number, so there's potential for confusion. == Discussion == I remember seeing this advertised 30 years ago in science magazines and wanted to get it for a long time. About 15-20 years ago, I found a copy of just the main book in the library, read it, but didn't practice it thoroughly, because I got bogged down in changing the words to images I thought would work better. There may have been a quirk in the way Furst used the MajorSystem. I think he applied a value of 8 to H, which would make Noah 28 instead of (0)2. I do remember Noah being on the list, though. --- JohnLaviolette
