Doing mental calculations
To remember numbers you can use the following pattern:
My turtle Pancho will, my
love, pick up my new mover, Ginger
The above sentence ranslates into 24 places of π [1].
The key is:
- 1 is the t or d sound.
- 2 is the n sound.
- 3 is the m sound.
- 4 is the r sound.
- 5 is the l sound.
- 6 is the j, ch, or sh sound.
- 7 is the k or hard g sound.
- 8 is the f or v sound.
- 9 is the p or b sound.
- 0 is the z or s sound.
