Hey Marcus, yeah that would certainly minimize the number of two digit numbers, but I would still have to worry about 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 if I used hex.
I mean maybe this isn't a problem trying to keep 18 seperate from 1 followed by 8, but I'm new to this and wanted to ask if there was a good technique in terms of using those pneumonic word systems. But yeah, maybe doing this in hex would make things easier, since it gives me 6 fewer pieces to know. Actually maybe I could include consonant clusters too. So 0-9 could be the normal stuff, and maybe 10=ch 11=sh 11=st 12=str 13=gl 14=cl 15=sp 16=spl 17=tr 18=fr 19=bl 20=fl 21=shr 22=lm 23=rd 24=th so (1 7 24 19 17 6 20 10 15 9 14 11 3 12 18 21 23 11 8 5 4 22) which is the scramble on my 4x4 right now could be translated to the sounds: (t ck th bl tr g fl sh sp b cl st m str fr shr rd st f l r lm) and that could become the phrases TaCK THe BLue TRue Goo FLaSH. SPee BaCkLe ST (Mouth STReet) FRies SHRei RD STaFF Lo ReaLM. Ok so that is a pretty nonsensical phrase, but I break it down like this. "TaCK THe BLue TRue Goo FLaSH" is not hard to remember because of the alliteration, though it is meaningless. Just focus on the sounds. "SPee BaCkLe ST (Mouth STReet)" I picture as a street hotdog vendor on Speebackle St. and they Fry hotdogs so much better than the staff of the hotdog stand on Shrei RD that they put them to shame (low realm). Again it sounds weird, but I think this would be much faster than memorizing visually. My question is that I highly doubt my number/sound correspondence is proven to work well. Is there one where I can utilize 24 distinct sound/consonants/consonant clusters that is proven by memory masters to work well?
