How can anyone remember 100000 numbers?

I can remember 100,000 numbers. 1,2,3,4,5,.... Need I go on?

Neat subject, sloppy reporting. :-)

Clever.

But if you can recite all 100,000 numbers (and I am sure you can) is it because you really committed the entire sequence of numbers to memory or because you relied on an easily-remembered algorithm to enable you to recite the numbers sequentially?
