Person 0 to 9

If you had to memorise digits of a long number then the BLOKES system might not work well. One reason for this is that you would be imagining a digit at each location - but digits are not as memorable as pictures involving people. What if each digit has an alternative appearance: the appearance of a person. So 0 to 9 would have 10 people to represent each of them. Here is an example - just using drawings of people. However, you could choose anybody famous, I suppose, and use them as your 0 to 9 people. Here are some made up 'people' and somehow you would want to picture them in a sequence to represent a long number made of these digits (see later in the course for sequencing information).

I use spellings to represent digits from 0 to 9: certain letters indicate certain digits. So a word can imply a number:
