十二平均律

十 = 一 + 丨 : Mnemonic symbol: a holy cross. Sherlock Holmes (sh-) is investigating a very strange thing he found in the kitchen of the space station (-2): A big pyramid made of ten (十) crosses (十), which are in turn made out of flutes (一) and dinosaur bones (丨).

二 = 一 : Mnemonic symbol: a capacitor, because the two strokes remind me of the symbol in electrical drawings. Albert Einstein (Ø) is experimenting with a capacitor (二) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He finds that it's uncomfortable to discharge a capacitor using two flutes (一).

平 = 丷 + 干 : Mnemonic symbol: a pan (平底锅) as it has a very flat and level surface.

Pocahontas (pi) is fighting with a crocodile (丷) just inside the engine's kitchen ((e)ng2). She's throwing so many dried fruits (干) at it that it's totally flat (平) soon. She gives it a last blow striking with a frying pan (平).

均 = 匀 + 土 : Zeus (ju) is furious! In front of the encampment ((e)n1) a truck drove through a puddle next to him and now his new uniform (匀) is covered in dirt (土). His uniform (匀) is covered very uniformly (均), though. He throws dirt at all (均) other palace guards to make their appearance uniform again.

律 = 彳 + 聿 : Loki (lü) wants to prove the inverse square law (律) of electrostatics in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He repeatedly rubs a decorator's brush (聿) against the soles of his black sneakers (彳) and thereby transfers electrons from the shoe soles to the brush. Now that both are charged, they will attract each other according to the inverse square law (律). To measure the amplitude, Loki uses Hook's law (律): when the black sneaker is attracted to the brush it will bend the bristles of the brush until the two forces cancel each out.
