interesting point ... ok, small numbers, but how about
[bara erom] 12.472.477 [bara emos]
[bara erom] 774.274.21 [bara emos]
for long numbers a pretty fast reversing mind is needed
math goes from left to right but i once heard a talk about a tendency to
go right - left as well (including mirrored symbols like \sum)
