Now, if you saw a clear visual image of each object as we went around the room, you should be able to start at the ceiling and move around the room, identifying each object along the way.
To remember the twenty-digit number, just translate the ten objects (Key Words) back to their two-digit numbers! Here is the process:
Ceiling: See the n e t .
Think: N-T.
Say: 2-1.
Please note that, you will say each digit separately. Don’t say “21”; instead say “2, 1.” It is much more impressive to call the numbers back as twenty single digits rather than ten sets of two-digit numbers.
Back left corner: See m oo n . Think M-N. Say 3-2.
Left wall: See n ai l . Think N-L. Say 2-5.
Front left corner: See n u n . Think N-N. Say 2-2.
Front wall: See l io n . Think L-N. Say 5-2.
Front right corner: See t i r e. Think T-R. Say 1-4.
Right wall: See n o s e. Think N-S. Say 2-0.
Back right corner: See r a m . Think R-M. Say 4-3.
Back wall: See l i m e. Think L-M. Say 5-3.
Floor: See r o s e. Think R-S. Say 4-0.
Now, try it on your own! Without looking at the book, start at the ceiling and write down the ten sets (twenty digits) in sequence. Then come back to this page and check your answers:
How did you do? Considering that this was the first time you ever even tried to do it, I’ll bet you did pretty well. After you are certain you know the Key Words for all 100 numbers (00-99), practice taking at least a twenty-digit number every day. Soon you will use two rooms to store forty-digit numbers. After you have filled the first room (ending with the floor), just think of your next room and start at the
