USE YOUR MEMORY
little image story on your inner screen. Now recall the words and,
transforming them, you get:
f—8
1—5
t—1
r—4
n—2
b—9
c—7
m—3
s—0
1—5
v—8
r—4

Another system for remembering long numbers, especially if you
have not committed the Major System's Key Image Words to
memory, is to improvise with the basic Major System Memory
Code, making up 4-consonant words from the number you have
to remember. For example, with a 16-digit number, such as
1582907191447620, you could make up the following 4-digit
numbers and Key Image Words: 1582 - telephone, 9071 - basket,
9144 - botherer, 7620 - cushions.
Here you could imagine a loudly and melodically ringing red
telephone being chucked in a long and graceful parabolic curve into
a basket, where an annoying person (a botherer) is jammed bottom-
down (as in comedy films), while other people are throwing
multicoloured and multimaterialed cushions at him. Again, at the
end of this paragraph close your eyes and imagine the story, then
fill in the words and the numbers in the space below:
