> *I realize the question really is, how to you train your *mind* to stick the numbers. Doesn't seem you can apply the same mnemonic skills to numbers as you can to words...no rhymes or associations will work very well, and even trying to remember shapes won't work because numbers are all the same height, unlike letters. So is it that you have this ability to recall numbers, or you don't? Or is there another way to remember?

One thing I do sometimes when I need to and it's possible to do so, is use sign language to "hold" numbers while I do other calculations. See, each hand can hold one number, so I basically tell one hand to do the sign for one number, and the other hand to do the sign for the other number, and they hold the numbers while I stop thinking about them. Then all I have to do is remember what each hand was for. :-D
