Major memory system for numbers and AI tool

Hey Deckies! :compass:

If you’re like me and staring down huge piles of numbers for pilotage exams, you know how brutal memorizing them can feel. Over the last few weeks I’ve been playing with a memory-system approach that’s really helped — and I wanted to share it with you all, along with a little tool I built that might make memorizing soundings more manageable.

:small_blue_diamond: Memory System Summary (The Major System)

The Major Memory System turns numbers into consonant sounds, which then become words and stories (and AI pictures) — much easier for the brain to remember than a string of digits.

Quick idea:

  • 1 → T/D

  • 2 → N

  • 3 → M

  • 4 → R

  • 5 → L

  • 6 → J/SH/CH

  • 7 → K/G

  • 8 → F/V

  • 9 → P/B

  • 0 → S/Z

So something like 314159 becomes M-T-R-T-L-S → “MOON TILES” → way easier to remember than just digits.

:brain: Number → Letter Cheat Sheet

Here’s a handy reference you can print or screenshot:

0 → S, Z
1 → T, D
2 → N
3 → M
4 → R
5 → L
6 → J, SH, CH
7 → K, G (hard)
8 → F, V
9 → P, B

Turn a number string into a phrase or mini-story, then drill it, and it sticks!

:robot: Try My AI-Powered Flashcard Drill App

I’ve built a little web app to help you practice with your own sets:

How it works

  • (optional) Upload your own flashcards in the required format:
    5 rows × 10 columns (so 50 numbers per upload).

  • The AI will help drill you — but right now it’s a bit conversational, so you need to lead it:

    • Say: “Let’s drill using flashcards”

    • Or for stories: “Make a story with these number ”

    • Feel free to be bossy — it respects your direction!

Heads up:
It’s still a little buggy, but if you find it helpful (or weirdly hilarious), let me know!

:speech_balloon: Feedback Welcome

If you try it out, hit me up:

  • Did it help you remember better?

  • Bugs you encountered?

  • Ideas to make it smoother?
