Purpose: We want to memorize all the primes up to 1000. Idea: There are at most 4 primes per decade (which is a sequence 10n .. 10n + 9) Each decade can be represented by 4 bits. Map 4 bits to an English consontant. Then 100 decades corresponds to 100 consonants, which we can embed in around 40 words. These 40 words for a mnemonic for the primes.
