Having trouble remembering numbers? Try this...

I am very much into sites like Lifehacker that give suggestions on how to be efficient or make useful things out of common household items. I ran across this, and it is pretty slick.

Digit-sound equivalents












Digit Consonant sounds Hint
0 z, s, soft-c 'z' is the first letter of zero
1 t, th, d 't' has one downstroke
2 n 'n' has two legs (downstrokes)
3 m 'm' has three legs (downstrokes)
4 r 'r' is the last sound in fouR
5 l 'l' or L is the Roman numeral 50
6 soft-g, j, sh, ch 'g' when turned around gives '6'
7 k, q, hard-c, hard-g 'k' is made of two 7's back-to-back (7<)
8 f, v 'f' when written in script looks like '8'
9 p, b 'p' when turned around gives '9'
