The best way to remember numbers
So, let's begin.
Every day, people have to memorize a lot of information. At the same time, some types of data are easily remembered, while others are difficult. So we can easily remember the word we know, consisting of a large number of letters, but we encounter difficulties if the letters do not form a word. A similar problem arises when storing numbers, as this is abstract information.
I will cover the popular ways of memorizing numbers:
Method 1: Using Sound Memory:
1) A phrase is selected in which the number of letters in each word corresponds to the next digit of the number:
“I know and remember perfectly, I don’t need
many signs, they are in vain”,
respectively, it stands for 3.14159265358
2) Or in which the numbers themselves rhyme:
“To Remember PI, brethren,
We must repeat more often:
Three, fourteen, fifteen,
Nine, twenty six and five.
Advantage: it is easy to select words and make sentences from them, as well as to decipher.
Disadvantage: when storing long digital combinations
(for example: a 7-digit phone number), you will have to make long sentences. Even with a small number of long sentences, you can get confused, not to mention the big one.
Method 2: Using Shaped Memory
1) One digit:
Unit - stake, piece of wood frayed by bark, rough to the touch. Two - a swan, snow-white and thick and so on for all numbers.
2) Two or more:
After creating a series of images, memorizing numbers turns into a game similar to drawing a cartoon.
For example, to remember the number 21, you can imagine a swan on which a stake fell, bruising it and the swan spitefully hisses and nibbles the stake. Thus, instead of abstract numbers, moving pictures appear in the memory, which are easily and firmly held in it.
Advantage: a person’s imagination will always find a figurative comparison for any combination of numbers.
Disadvantage: the same as in method 1: when storing, for example, a telephone, a long "cartoon" is obtained, and if there are several phones, then the pictures from the "cartoons" may be mixed up with each other.
Method 3: Using the Phone Keyboard Layout
The numbers are replaced by the corresponding letters from the telephone keypad, and the words are composed of letters. For example: Yandex telephone number: 8-800-333-96-39, a text version of the number was proposed for memorization: 8-800-333-YNDX
Advantage: the digital series is easier to remember if you replace the difficult to understand parts of it with letters that form a certain phrase, either a word.
Disadvantage: the numbers 0 and 1 do not have alphanumeric values in the telephone keypad, so memorizing them using this method will not work, which is a big disadvantage, since this is 1/5 of all existing numbers (we are talking about a 10-decimal number system, in which considers most people).
And finally ...
Method 4: Alphanumeric Alphabet
Its essence lies in the fact that some letters are assigned to each digit, and words are composed of letters. There are several such alphabets.
Here is one of them:
0. The letters N and A in the word "NoL".
1. P from the word "Time".
2. D - “Two” and D, since this figure most closely resembles this small letter.
3. T from "Three" and 3 - in appearance.
4. H from the word “Four” (and, by the way, resembles an appearance), but more often, K from the word “Square”.
5. P - “Five” and B, by the similarity of sound (and by appearance).
6. W - “Six” and F, also in terms of similarity in sound.
7. C - “Seven”, and usually this is enough, since C is a very common letter.
8. В - “Eight” (the external resemblance is also strong) and, sometimes, similar in sound to F.
9. It is more complicated here. You can M from the word "Many", since 9 is the largest number.
For example, the number 3312 can be written as a “notebook”.
Advantage: the small size of the resulting phrases, as several digits can be encoded in one word. Easy decryption (depends on the encoding: there are intuitive ones, but there are those that need to be memorized as a multiplication table).
Disadvantage: it is necessary to select words by the resulting letters and sentences by words, and this, sometimes, can be difficult. And also remember the “encoding” - matching the numbers of certain letters.
To summarize the mini-summary:
The most effective way is the alphanumeric alphabet, because when it is used, compact phrases are obtained, which reduces the risk of confusing words from different phrases. A great variability of phrases is also achieved thanks to the rich Russian language (more than 200,000 dictionary units are recorded in the Dahl dictionary).
Let's get started
It is worth creating your own alphanumeric encoding, understandable to most people and at the same time, which is important, effective. In Russian, there are 20 suitable consonants. Vowels are not used, because then there will be almost no suitable words. 20 consonants. 10 digits.
Let there be 2 columns of letters matching numbers. The first is intuitive, the second will compensate for the first in terms of efficiency.
First column:
0. N from the word "Zero"
1. P from the word "One"
2. D - "Two"
3. T - "Three"
4. H - "Four
5. P -" Five "
6. W - "Six"
7. C - "Seven"
8. B - "Eight"
9. C - since the letter D is already taken, we use a C that looks like 9 outwardly.
These letters are intuitive.
Second:
0. Ф
1. Ц
2. Б
3. Щ
4. К
5. Г
6. Л
7. Ж
8. Х
9. М
Why exactly? How was this column created?
So, a pair was selected for each letter of the first column so that the arithmetic average of the sum of the frequency of their use in Russian was approximately equal to the rest of the arithmetic average. This will increase the variability of possible words.
Let's call it OTsBK - Optimal Digital Alphanumeric Encoding.
Now, for example, you can convert the number 412 into the word “turn”, 86-79 into “your union” or “the will of the family” and so on. The reverse transformation is also possible: the "yellow cardboard" looks like 763-41-30, the "input field" is 562-68-82.
Relevance and scope
Nowadays, people have become too dependent on electronics, the Internet. The solution to this problem will help reduce our dependence on electronic devices, because we no longer have to write down phone numbers, dates, etc. to mass-storage electronic devices. It will also increase the effectiveness of training. For example: students do not have to cram dates, numbers, etc.
This technique can be applied in everyday life - to memorize phone numbers, credit cards, Yandex money ... In training, to memorize dates, constants and other digital information. At the same time, there is no need to have recorded data with you, the risk of losing them is reduced, which in turn reduces the risk of malicious users using your data.
Program
He also wrote a program that itself selects words by given numbers and converts numbers into words. The program will select words by given numbers. Numbers separated by '-' are considered separate. For example: 1234 and 12-34, this is not the same thing. In the first case, a search will be performed on the combination “1234”, in the second - on the two combinations “12” and “34”.
