Mnemonic Device for Euler's Formula

I introduced Euler's Formula to all my students today. Said formula states the relationship between the number of vertices (v) of a polyhedron, its number of edges (e) and its number of faces (f) as follows:

     v  -  e  +  f  =  2.

I thought about asking my second period class to come up with a mnemonic device that they can use to help them remember said formula. Adriana Garcia, a sophomore, quickly came up with one. 

"Victor eats fruits!" She shouted.

We settled with the following:
     Victor eats fruits 2 times a day.



The very first group of National Honor Society members of Achieve Early College High School
