Mnemonic - help in remembering numbers

A modern person is surrounded by a sea of ​​numeric sequences, many of which must be kept in memory due to the high demand - various phone numbers, PIN codes, numeric passwords.

The existing science of memorization - mnemonic offers a rather elegant method of memorization: a series of decimal digits are assigned the values ​​of consonant letters, to memorize a number it will suffice to remember a word (or phrase) in which the order of the consonants corresponds to the order of numbers in the numbers.

I will cite a digital series for memorizing numbers from 0 to 9: NoL - One - Two - Three - Four - Five - Six - Seven - Eight - Many.

The seeming simplicity of the method stumbles upon the fact that a small number of elements are used to encode a large number of numbers - 10, and they will get confused in their head, creating a “mess” instead of a coherent sequence of numbers.

The output is in use to memorize images of two-digit numbers — the increased complexity by an order of magnitude pays off by the good memorability of large numbers.

Five years ago, I used this method to memorize a PIN to my payroll card. The card has expired a long time ago and it was replaced with a new one, but the PIN code is still in my head.

The power of the images is strong enough: a T-34 tank, undermining a mine, was the way in which my code 3495 was deposited in my head. Why 34 was remembered in the form of a tank - this is of course understandable to any man brought up on Soviet war films. With figure 95, I have memories of Windows 95 and the slogan “Windows Must Die,” which appears when I load my computer in my student years.

This is how the untimely death of the pride of Soviet tank building turned out to be immensely beloved by Windows users and is still remembered to be connected with any Visa card seen.

The biggest problem for ordinary people is that they do not have the time and energy to memorize at least 100 images of two-digit numbers, which is necessary for the fruitful use of the method.

To help those who want to reliably remember any number, and not to strain while compiling a table of images of two-digit numbers, I recently launched the Mnemokod project - help in remembering numbers on the dig.by website.

The project is an online book of mnemonic codes for two-digit numbers. The visitor can choose images to memorize the desired number - birthday, PIN-code, phone number. At the moment there is an alphabetic table of codes, built on the basis of a modified table of Oleg Stepanov , to 15% of two-digit numbers there is an image illustrating the mnemonic.

The project has just begun to develop, and you can have a big impact on the fate of Mnemokod.
