I see several algorithm questions related to Rubik's cube and none asking whether some task is...
A couple of months ago, I suggested a set of badges for asking questions. The responses were... mixed. The top answer can be summarized:

The "active" questions list ...The major system (also called the phonetic number system, phonetic mnemonic system, or Herigone's mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to aid in memorizing numbers.
The system works by converting numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that images can be remembered more easily than numbers.
