| For instance, yesterday I was doing a test for my new phone number. The
| phone company gave me the first 5 digits - 56978xxx and then said I could
| choose xxx as long as it wasn't triple digits like 888, 999, etc. I was
| trying to figure out the easiest number for both your mind (don't have
zero
| - two syllables) and your fingers to remember.

hah. that's easy:
569 789 89
or
56 978 978
or even
569 78 569

man, you could play with that all night ;)
but of course, it all depends on the traditional number of digits people
say.

take iceland, we have 7 digit numbers and *every-one* uses the 3-4 method
of saying a number

698 9717

so when i say the number my way, they always get confused:

69 89 717

which led me to using the 3-4 version, even though it doesn't have as good
a harmony to my ears ;)
