Numbers

Did you ever stop to notice all the number combinations that you know that would be completely useless without context? I personally know 4 different locker combinations, 7 phone numbers, 4 combination padlocks, and tons of passwords that are completely numeric. Now if we take away the association with these activities look at how many numbers I've taken time to learn

Eight three-digit combinations

Seven ten- digit combinations

Uncounted over six-digit combinations

I would think that without the association these numbers have we would find it impossible to memorize and use these numbers without jumbling them up. It's similar to those tests where you're told a series of numbers and told to repeat them back. Most people have trouble with them, but ask them their home phone number and cell phone number they can rattle if off with little to no problem.

Curious how many numbers we know that without context we wouldn't bother with isn't it?
