Mnemonic


[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he has been given the 艰 difficult task of sorting through all of the 艮 silver that has been pawned to them to see what is real and fake. He sits on a 又 folding stool with a scientific 艮 silver-identification device in hand. Stacked next to him on the patchy lawn is a pile of 艮 silver articles. He goes through each one at a time, looking at his device and making the 艰 difficult final decision as to whether it is real or not. Even with the device it is still quite 艰 difficult for Jimmy, even though he is a genius.
