I had to go to Google for that one. Neat. I wish you'd told me about
that a half century ago, when I was struggling to keep all of those
straight in my head.


The struggle was worth it. Those who memorise the "trick" never
really understand the main ideas. You are a lot better off having
learned to look for the sides and angles and ratios in each working
problem. You might not realise it, but you gained a lot more insight,
never mind the struggle.
