That reminds me of piems. Wouldn't you have to memorize hunders of words in a row? No, my method works for me. I am not looking for anything massive. I break the digits into lines 31 digits long, then meorize each line. Then, I simply recall the first few digits of the line and remember the first few digits of the next line, which starts the pattern recital. That helped me memorize over 270 in the past 3 days.

It goes by the idea that our brains are designed to remember things such as places, people, and what those people did rather than numbers. Here is a good website on it as a detail. http://www.memorizeeverything.com/numbers/numbers2.html The first thing you practice is a memorizing a list. You have to connect the objects in a preferably unusual way to make it easier to remember. Using this method you could memorize about 10-30 words, in order, within a minute depending on how fast you connect the items, and how good you connect them. Using the major system you make phonetic sounds depending on number, so when you think that number you also think the sound and vice versa. Then you just write a whole bunch of words and connect them using the method I mentioned earlier and it should be easy(as long as you are fluent in converting the sounds to numbers) to remember it, and you WON'T forget it.
Now saying that, I crammed all of my memorization in one day because I was absent the days before that and didn't know we had to memorize them. So I had no time to memorize the actually phonetics to each digit to the point where I would be able to convert them without much thought. So I memorized 3 digits at a time and tried to find patterns in the 3 digits. I would also find patterns between the 3 digits before the ones that came after that so I wouldn't mix them up. I memorized about 100 in 3 hrs, and the rest this morning before I had Geometry.
I would say that patterns are best in short term, but The Major System is better in the long term.
Edit: Also remembering 100s of words in a row could account for many times more that in numbers, and imo using the method they show you in the page I linked it is much easier to remember words than numbers. Actually before even using that method it is much easier to remember words than numbers.
