As I was telling spoonless, on my second try I suddenly had a realization that made it much easier, which is that I can try to remember things in blocks of N, rather than remembering the most recent N at any time. It does mean that towards the end of a cycle, I'm keeping nearly 2N things in my memory, but somehow this is easier than "shifting" everything in my memory by one slot each time. I've found that 6 is a little too hard of a block to do this way though (though there was one time that I managed to stay on 6 twice in a row instead of immediately moving back down to 5). But the realization made a big improvement - instead of struggling on 3 and being hopelessly overwhelmed on 4, I now get perfect scores on 3 and generally do well enough on 4 to move up to 5.
