Are you fucking stupid? That looks quite similar to the distinctive silhouette that a croc' mouth makes when viewed from the side. And, as said before, mnemonics don't have to make some sort of perfect sense, they just have to make it easier to remember something.

I have been perfectly able to remember the greater than and less than signs w/o some shitty pic of a croc.

>also implying that the distinctive silhouette that a croc' mouth makes when viewed from the side looks like a "<" or ">" sign, and just because crocodiles would rather prefer 4 over 3, it is easier to remember that than two signs.

I don't fucking get it.

I am able to remember things without mnemonics also. That doesn't change the fact that it works (at least as an alternative to straight memorization) for a large amount of people. Also, I don't think you understand how mnemonics work.

>> No.3818425

>>3818418
Specifically, they work like this:

Mnemonics rely on associations between easy-to-remember constructs which can be related back to the data that is to be remembered. This is based on the observation that the human mind much more easily remembers spatial, personal, surprising, physical, sexual or humorous or otherwise meaningful information, as compared to retrieving arbitrary sequences.

For the record, a creeper would also like to blow up 4 rather than 3.

Why don't we use a creeper then, since it's so much easier to remember?

Because elementary school students don't know what a fucking creeper is? Nothing stops you from using that if it works. There are often multiple solutions to a single problem (memorizing something).

You're just trolling now.

A teacher would help a student with 4 problems more than a student with 3 problems.

Why don't we use every possible solution to a problem, all at the same time?

What's that, it's impossible? Oh, so I guess we have to choose one... the simplest and most general one, perhaps...

Also, the symbol is already there, dumbass. You need a mnemonic that works with the actual symbol.
