Odd numbers & letters

As I was driving back from lunch today, I thought about how odd my memory is. I forget so many important things … due dates, where I put things, people’s birthdays, even my home phone number because I never call home anymore.

The things I do manage to remember are even stranger. Since blogs seem to be featuring more and more of these, I thought I’d create a short little quiz, like some of the others I’ve seen floating around. See how many of these you actually remember, maybe you can help me feel a little less weird. They’re all from either motion pictures or television shows. NO GOOGLING — I didn’t!

Leave me a comment telling me how many you got (without googling). Don’t post the answers, it’ll spoil it for everyone else! I’ll post the correct answers (or at least the ones I had in mind) in a couple of days in another blog.

1. CPE 1704 TKS

2. 704 Houser Street

3. KMG-365

4. 601

5. 12 02 (and 12 01)

6. LV-426

7. 8063

8. 415 Beach Lane

9. $847.63

10. 714

  1. Sorry – I’m not going to make you feel less weird. Only one of those means anything to me, and that’s because it’s a video standard, not from a film.


  2. Dammit. I only got one. Now I feel un-weird. Urgh. :p


  3. Zero for me.

    Maybe you have to be American? Or watch a lot of movies?


  4. I didn’t know any of them! so I cheated and googled a few…how do you remember these things?????


  5. I guessed one – which may or may not be right. No idea on the rest, sorry 🙂


  6. I recognised two of them instantly (1 and 8) – don’t know any of the others. Not sure if this is a good thing. Does this mean I’m weirder than the others?


  7. I meant 1 and 9. Haven’t got a clue what 8 is.


  8. A big fat zero for me too, does this mean I’m normal?


  9. I don’t know any of them either, but then I do have excuses. 1/ I am blonde. 2/ I am blonde.


  10. Wow, not a one, but I have guess for the last and 601 was a flight number I used to operate.


  11. Four for me – 3, 7, 9, and 10. (Although 10 doesn’t fit with the others for me).
