Peg system of memory

Most people would say it is impossible to remember so many words or sentences by numbers. Let me assure you that It is possible, I will teach you that later. First however, you must learn how to remember the numbers. Numbers themselves are most difficult to remember, because they are completely abstract and intangible. It is almost impossible to picture a number. They are geometric design and they mean nothing in our minds, unless they have been associated to something you know over a period of time. Of course, your own address or your own telephone number does mean something to you. The problem is to able to associate any and all numbers easily, quickly, and at any time.
I will give u know a different constant sound for each of the digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. these you must commit to memory. I’ll make this simple for you by giving you a ‘memory aid’ for remembering each one. Read them carefully and with your full attention.
The sound for 1 will always be – T or D.(The letter T has one down stroke).
The sound for 2 will always be – N. (Typewritten n has two down stroke).
The sound for 3 will always be - M, (Typewritten m has three down strokes).
The sound for 4 will always be – R, (Final sound of the word ‘four’ is R).
The sound for 5 will always be – L, (Roman numeral for 50 is L).
The sound for 6 will always be – j, ch, sh, soft g. (The letter J is turned is always like the number 6 (J6)).
The sound for 7 will always be – k, hard c, hard g.
The sound for 8 will always be – F or V. (written f and figure 8 both have two loops, one above the other).
The sound for 9 will always be – P or B. (The number 9 turned around is p).
The sound for 0 9zero) will always be – S or Z. (First sound of the word ‘zero’).

Remember the above given alphabets sound’s only important not the letters
Now look the over once:

1. T,D 2. N 3. M 4. R 5. L 6. j, sh, ch, g.

7. K, c, g 8. F, v 9. P, b 0. Z, s


since the number 1 contains only one digit, and that one digit is represented by the t or d sound, we must use a word ‘TIE’. From here on in the word ‘tie’ will always represented the number 1 to you.
As I said, it is important to be able to picture these objects, so I will give explanation of all those where I think an explanation is necessary.
The word ‘NAOH’ will always represent 2, picture an old, white haired man on an ark.
The word ‘MA’ will always represent 3.here I suggest that you always picture your own mother.
The word ‘RYE’ will always represent the number 4. you can picture either bottle of rye whisky or a loaf of rye bread. Once you decide on a particular mind picture for this , or for any of the pegs, use that particular picture always. You can see how I arrive at these words.
They all have only one constant sound, and that one sound is the one representing the digit of the number.
The word ‘LAW’ will always represent 5, the word law it self can not be pictured; I suggest that you picture any police man, in uniform, because they represent law.
Number 6 is the word ‘SHOE.’
Number 7 is the word ‘COW.’
Number 8 is the word ‘IVY.’ (it means grass), for this one you can picture ivy growing all over the side of a house.
Number 9 is the word ‘BEE.’ For this one you can picture honey bees.
Number 10 has two digits, the 1 and a zero. The peg word for 10 therefore must be made up of a t or d sound and s or z sound, in that order we’ll use the word ‘TOES’- picture your own toes.

When you say the number to yourself , think of its sound first, then try to remember the peg word. Test your self in out of order. You should know that 3 is ma without repeating ‘tie,’ ‘Noah,’ ma!
Note: like this you can able to built for each number one word ,but once decided the word for the number its better to does not change you follow the same word for the number because you will face some problems if you use two or three words for a numer.

So you make sure u know this very well before going to another topic.

1. tie 2. Noah 3. ma 4. rye 5. law 6.shoe 7.cow 8.ivy 9.bee 10.toes

Now, If you feel that you know the first ten peg words thoroughly, I’ll show you how to use them for remembering objects in and out of order. I’ll give you ten objects, out of sequence, and prove to you that you can remember them after reading only once1

9.purse 5. typewriter 6.cigarette 2.television 4.ashtray 8.wrist watch 7.salt- shaker 1.fountain pen 3.lamp 10.telephone

The first one listed is 9 – purse. All you have to do is to make a ridiculous and/or illogical association of the peg word for 9, which is ‘bee,’ and purse. If you have realized the importance of actually ‘seeing’ these ridiculous association in your mind, you’ll have no trouble. For this first one, u might see yourself opening a purse and a swarm of bees fly out of it, stinging u. just ‘see’ the picture for a moment, then go to the next one. Once u go to the next one don’t look back until u finish your peg words to remember.

No. 5 (law) – typewriter. you might see a police man putting handcuffs on a typewriter and typing.
No.6 (shoe) – cigarette. see yourself a millions of cigarettes are falling from a shoe, Or smoking a shoe instead of a cigarette.
No.2 (Noah) - television, you might picture an old Noah sailing on a television instead of an ark.
No.4 (rye) – ashtray. you might see yourself dropping ashes in to a scooped –out loaf of rye bread instead of an ashtray.
No.8 (ivy) – wrist watch. you can see a billion of wrist watches are growing all over the side of your house, instead of ivy.
No.7 (cow) - salt shaker, see yourself that salt-shakers coming out instead of milk.
No.1 (tie) – fountain pen. picture yourself that wearing a gigantic fountain pen instead of a tie.
No.3 (ma) – lamp. You can picture your mother wearing a gigantic lamp for a hat.
No.10 (toes) – telephone. See that your dialing numbers in the telephone with your toes.

Now – take a piece of paper, number it from one to ten, and try to fill in the objects in order, without looking at the book. When you come to 1,just picture your peg word, tie, and the ridiculous picture of u wearing the fountain pen instead of a tie will come back immediately. So you can know that 1 is fountain pen. Like u continue the other….

You should now be thoroughly amazed at your own ability. But wait! Why not memorize twenty-five objects instead of only ten?
You can try this to your friend ask him to write or tell any twenty five words you see once and associate with your peg words and tell him to ask any number and you tell the word then he surprise!

11.tot 12.tin 13.tomb 14.tyre 15.towel 16.dish 17.tack 18.dove 19.tub 20.nose 21.net 22.nun 23.name 24.nero 25.nail. 26.notch 27.neck 28.knife 29.knob 30.mice 31.mat 32.moon 33.mummy 34.mower 35.mule 36.matach 37.mug

like this u can make how many numbers you want to remember up to 100 or up to 500 u can but the first thing was no two numbers have same word and u must be able to remember all the numbers with words.
