I can remember registration plates of most of my Dad's cars from the 80s, also friends phone numbers from back then. My Leaving Cert number. Mine and the OH's PPS numbers. Medical chart number of my daughters at Crumlin. The last 4 digits of my debit card.

OK, I remember we had a spoon that was stamped M&GHMC which apparently stood for Maidstone and Gravesend Hospital Management Committee.

I use a number combined with song titles from my playlist.

If password forgotten just scan through playlist eliminating the one's already used for other things.

I meant without the quotation marks. These things " " around the text.

I've had my visa debit card for a few years. I've only managed to memorize the card number in the past few weeks. It's expiring next month and will get a new one, with a new number (I actually asked the person in the bank if I could keep the same number). Welp. It'll take me another few years to memorize that one.

For some reason, I still remember my CAO number from when I was just 18. It became my login password for University which I dropped out of when I was 20. Haven't used it since but I still remember.

I'm 28 now.:)

I can only remember one number, π.

To be fair it does have a lot of digits.

I remember the landline phone number of my first student flat. There was an ancient coinbox phone on the landing between the 2nd and 3rd floors, and the number was on a white label on the front. I never used that phone, not once, but I still remember the phone number.

None of these are random - they're purposefully chosen.

doesn't this random scattering of numbers seem desperately random - like the elaborations of a bad liar?

OP. The adjective you're struggling for is 'arbitrary'. Tell all the other teenagers. It's getting annoying.

No, no. Just have a good memory for numbers.

My friend with OCD prefers to say CDO because it's in alphabetical order.

As others have said, these are specific numbers that you need for various reasons.

However, if we're playing this game, 15215 was my Inter Cert number which I did in 1988 when I was 15, I remember a good few birthday's of people from my class in Primary school (and haven't spoken to since) and a few years ago, I helped a lad in work book a Ryanair flight on my computer, and freaked him out a few months later when I could tell him what his credit card number was.

A few months ago, in the canteen at breakfast, a female co-worker (for no particular reason) asked me to remember the order her siblings were born. There are 15 of them, and I don't know any of them. At lunch, she asked to to name them off, and then backwards, and then 6/15, 14/15, and 11/15. I got them all right but she thought she had caught me out with 11/16.

"That's my sister Mary!"
"No, you are 11/15."
After a few seconds, she says "You're right!"

The thing is...I never exactly claimed to be Jimmy Magee so I don't even know why she asked me.

Maybe I should have said 'apparently random numbers' as they are not part of a sequence.

Two of the Synonyms of 'arbitrary' are 'random' and 'unpredictable'

I meet up with an old friend who worked in the payroll office of a large company before retiring over 12 years ago. He still can rattle off the staff numbers of any of the workers we meet or mention.

I remember my Dad's 088 phone number from around 1999, I was seven or eight. I was forced to memorize it in case of emergency.

It would have to have been a pretty big emergency. You'd need to have been given the last rites before school would let you call a mobile in those days.

Other than that I remember several passwords, several phone numbers, and my Eircode!

I believe your long-term memory sharpens with age, in direct contrast to your short-term memory. Your friend can probably reel off those numbers with ease, while at the same time not having the faintest recollection of where he left his glasses an hour ago.

After years of doodling on my calculator I have memorised the answers to 999 cubed, 888 cubed, 777 cubed and 666 cubed. I also know 987x789x987 and 789x987x789.
Oddly that's never come in handy.

I also remember my ICQ number even though I haven't used it in years
