In this episode I try to memorise 100 digits of Pi in ONE day. I used the major system to tell myself a story that I could decode to remember all 100 digits. The system works by converting the numbers into consonant sounds, then into words by adding vowels. You then create a story out of the words to learn. The system works on the idea that images are easier to remember than numbers. Checkout the Wired Video: youtube.com/watch?v=mI96Ph-yHcA&t
