Mnemonic

A ninja finds a huge bundle of weapons dumped in a heap. She slots each blade into its correct rack — only a true ninja can organize an arsenal this fast. Every bundle must be correct, or someone loses a finger.
Additional thoughts
Picture a stealthy ninja in a dark armory, methodically sorting a tangled bundle of swords and daggers into their correct positions on the wall. The discipline required to organize mirrors the ninja's precise nature.
Quick recall
A ninja sorts a bundle into correct order to organize the arsenal.
