Two Numbers into A Single Letter

General Memory Chat
1

I’m sure these had been found before by others, but I’ve just realised that I can convert some “Numbers into A Single Letter”.

Here are a few I come up with;

13 = B - 1 and 3 stuck together.
77 = K - two 7s stuck together on opposite side
44 = H - 2 chairs are into each other upside down.

Do you guys know anymore? or any link I can check on this?
What use can we make of this?
With what system can it be used?

If I was to use this,I think I’d have to have 100 letters to represent all numbers from 00 - 99 which is not possible as there are only 26 letters in the English Alphabet.

I’d love to hear how it can be made. Perhaps code each 25 with something but still use the basic idea?

What would be the advantage of this? You would still have to convert the letter into an image, so really you are just adding an extra step. Did I understand your method correctly?

It’s not a method I use. What I am trying to do is to find out if I can convert two digit numbers into a single letter. If it can be done somehow, then perhaps we can put a few letters together to create a word that may represent 6 numbers. This way (if it worked) we could easily memorise 60 to 80 numbers with a few words. However, not sure if it is possible as there are only 26 letters, so it may mean that we’d have to add some kind of peg to the letter which to me also means is an extra step. But I wanted to check if anyone had thought of this before and if so, where I could find out more about it.
I’m just trying to find ways to automatically be faster by the recognition of the numbers so I could reduce the steps even faster. It seems the Major system is still the best for that. However, I struggle with the major system because I can’t seem to connect the two objects together sometimes, or I take a long time to be creative for them to stick in my memory. My aim is to be faster than I am now as I seem to be very slow, I take about 60 seconds to memorise 12 numbers. Not sure if it’s the age thing as I am 47 yrs.

I guess if you wanted to you could simplify the Major System to one specific sound per one digit number then use the remainders for those two digit situations. It just wouldn’t be very often when you’d use the two digit ones.

Thanks for your suggestion, however, I don’t think it would work as I am trying to shorten the steps but it seems like I am adding an extra step.

@Erol
In Hindi language 12 vowels are there and almost
33 consonants and 5 compound letters and 2more
Almost 52 letters
So I think it can possible.

Thank you. I think then it may work for you in Hindi,
but I’m sort of still looking for ways to find some Simple formulas for this.

I was even thinking of using 50 digits to cover all 100 digits by perhaps using the “Reverse” of the digits.

example

45 reversed 54
10 reversed 01

so I have to find ways to May be Use Reverse.
I was experimenting with it, and I found some strange things happening while I was testing it. So still trying to figure it out.

The whole idea is to use less Digits to cover all 100 digits. So it can be faster and very easy. :slight_smile:
