Keep in mind that this has nothing to do with your facility with numbers or words, just your
memory for those items.
I used a trick I've always had for word pairs -- make up an associative sentence for the pair: "I'm
jealous of her
intelligence" or "The world would be a better place if we
honored the
welfare of others"...
The numbers -- I should have been able to get past seven, but my fat fingers didn't help.
