Can’t believe I only just found this! I’m a memory athlete (hey Nelson) but I also play a lot of Geoguessr. I memorised the North American phone codes using the Ben System!
It's time to learn US Phone codes! Assigning letters to numbers is brilliant. I use the associations you mentioned to remember sub-divisions of the world, Sure it's gonna help with Phone Codes as well. Also Emily's Website is amazing! nice too see it being used
321 is also Orlando, it overlaps the Space Coast and Orlando, but new phones in Orlando that would have been assigned 321 are now assigned 407. So you can see it, just not with new connections.
Really like your stuff. Btw for 504 new orleans you mixed Dominic and Major up. 504 LOR. Whilsth the others were done with dominic.. haha i can imagine that i will get the same issue. I also changed from Dom to Major.
Yeah I actually used a combo of both systems for this to give myself more options. I had removed a part of the video explaining that and I should have left out the LOR example to not confuse anyone. THAT BEING SAID, since r doesn’t exist in the Dom system, LOrD still technically works 😅
how long did you have to learn them? For some reason I thought you'd get 100% for sure but I guess it is pretty hard :) Maybe it would have been easier for you if you went roughly east to west so you could impose an ordering to your images. Were you guys planning to use the mountain itself as a memory palace before things went bad?
I think we made mistakes because we had such a short time to learn them. And yes, we were using the mountain as an added means to make them all memorable!
Hey so I appreciate the use of 3 digit system as well as the mnemonics etc, I’m just wondering how and why you’d incorporate a memory palace into this or if you just do the raw mnemonic association? I’m having a hard time figuring out when to use memory palaces outside of like when the information is ordered.
Both may work. Memory Palace is also useful for memorizing non-sequential information as well. For example, if you're memorizing facts about different countries, you could use different rooms in your palace to represent different continents, that way you don't need to access Canada first to then go to France, you can just go to the France "room" anytime.
He might’ve mixed up systems, since there’s a common one based on sounds where: 0= s/z 1= d/t 2= n 3= m 4= r 5= l 6= sh/ch/j 7= k/g 8= f/v 9= p/b This is convenient since it doesn’t use vowels, so vowels can fill in the spaces between to make words (e.g shoes would be 60, as the sh=6 and the s=0) Edit: looks like I was kinda right. The r did come from the system I mentioned.
Good catch there. I should have elaborated. At one point a told Trevor he could mix number systems to help with creativity for coming up with images. The R sound for 4 is from another system called the major system. That being said, there is no R sound in the main system I outline in this video so you could almost ignore it and focus on the D after it and it still works: LOrD would be 504
They are properly called numbering plan areas (NPA), and since the 1990s with number portability, these codes are not restricted to one area. One can live in New York and carry one's Boston number with him if and when he moves to the new location. And, think about this one. What is the country code for USA? It's 1. And the country code for Canada? Gotcha ya.
10:10 i have a question i watched the video then decided I'm going to memorize all the us area codes then i remembered BLT as one of the examples but how'd you get the L none of the 9 digits are L
Yup, sorry about that. I had a small mention of that in an earlier cut of the video but took it out to save some time. I essentially am dipping into the Dominic System and the Major System for some of my images. I encouraged Trevor to do this so he would have a bit more creative flexibility coming up with all 300+ images.
Leave it to the us to put no pattern at all in these codes, really boggles the mind, I think every other country in the world would put at least *some* logic to this.
Who thinks we need a rematch??
I want Sir.
let’s learn all french area codes on k2 next 🤝

Hi Katie!! Didn’t know you were into GeoGuessr too. So fun. The US area codes are super fun and easy when you have a 3 digit system for sure!
2k views for this is crazy very high quality
Really incredible video, I think I might just have to try this myself! Looking forward to another video with Trevor.
Your book "Remember It" has changed my life man, thank you so much. Also the production on this video is incredible, hoping for much success for you!
Do Good. Learn Every US Area Code. Nice.

Great video man Im a geoguessr player in the middle of learning all the area codes thanks for your help
Great crossover episode!
16:20 unfortunate guess in the 931 in TN Valley to end it 😂
Can you learn all of the subdivisions in the world?

solid stuff, very interesting to see!
Why is the 4 in 504 an R, but the 4 in 414 is a D?
He might’ve mixed up systems, since there’s a common one based on sounds where:
0= s/z
1= d/t
2= n
3= m
4= r
5= l
6= sh/ch/j
7= k/g
8= f/v
9= p/b
This is convenient since it doesn’t use vowels, so vowels can fill in the spaces between to make words (e.g shoes would be 60, as the sh=6 and the s=0)
Edit: looks like I was kinda right. The r did come from the system I mentioned.

@@NelsonDellis Thanks for clearing up the confusion!
@@NelsonDellis was your PAO always a mix of both or did you change it? I thought you always just used the Major system.

I must have missed something can someone explain please
Oh nvm you probably mixed the major system in it should I do the same? I already know the major system
It looks like a hodgepodge of his PAO 3 digit and major.@@mrnewb4725
Yeah I think the examples are his system, not the beginner system he describes in the video

I did this a couple of years ago. Wasn’t too hard when you play US area code Geoguessr maps

When your course will be available again?
End of April!
Awesome
9:20 time to use our noggins
What web site are you using for the area codes quiz?
