Imagine a red balloon tied to the doorknob of your hotel room. A balloon on a string looks like a number 9: now you can remember your room number. This is how a simple memory system works. The problem is, the system only goes up to 10; number 9 may look like a balloon on a string but what does number 23 look like?
When Jez Alborough found out that the Earth tilts at an angle of 23 degrees he was inspired to find images to help remember all of the numbers 1-100. His own system was born and a whole world of knowledge started opening up. And what better way is there to discover amazing numbers than playing a game?
