Long Digit Numbers                                   95
                idea, which I'm sure you  have, why not use  your  imagina-
                tion and make it  even  easier. If you  like,  you can  link only
                four  words in  order to  memorize  a  twelve digit  number.
                Just  make  up words to  fit three of  the  digits at  a time,  and
                link  those. For example, you could  picture  a bolt  of linen
                (522)  riding a  chariot  (641) which  is dragging a shoemaker
                (637—the  last  consonant sound is disregarded  since you
                know that  the word  represents  only three digits)  who is
                very lanky (527).


















                  Here is another example:—

                         994         614        757       954
                         paper     ashtray     clock     bowler

                  If a  long  digit  number that you wish to remember  falls
                into line for  words that fit  four  digits  at  a  time—why  not
                use  them!  In that  way you can sometimes memorize  and
                retain a twenty digit number, by linking only five words:—

                                 42109483521461279071
                  Doesn't that number  look formidable? It sure does!  But
                look at it now:—
                   4210       9483       5214       6127       9071
