Overall comments:
FeaturedNote that the commas of lines 1 & 3 are 92, 93 and that the 43 comma of line 2 is roughly half the value of of 92/93. Commas on lines 4, 5, and 6 would be 81-80-79 but instead, line 5 has 03 which is the number of lines in the 81-80-79 sequence.
FeaturedThe commas in the last two lines of this block, 03 and 79, added together gives 82. This suggests what is coming (8214 is the first word in the 101-200 block)!
1 1-6 3. 1415  92 Featured3, of course, is the beginning of pi.
Featured1415 contains the ascending sequence of 14, 15.
2 7-24 6535  8979  3238  4626  43 Featured6535 and 8979 are second-digit mini-poems where the 3 in 35 is half of the 6 in 65 and 89/79 represents the descending sequence of 8, 7.
Featured3238 is a first-digit mini-poem with 8 being the cube of 2. Note that the flip of 3238 (3832) is echoed as the first word in line 3.
Featured4626 is a another second-digit mini-poem where the 2 in 26 is half of the 4 in 46.
3 25-46 3832  7950  2884  1971  6939  93 Featured3832 is the flip of 3238 from line 2.
FeaturedThe 79 of 7950 points to the comma in line 6, the last of this block. The 50 is hinting that this line represents about one half of the first 100 digits.
Featured2884 is an inner-shell and is a neat number where the 2, when doubled, gives the 4 at the end of the word which in turn, when doubled, gives 8 which is twinned in the middle.
Featured1971 was an important year for me.
Featured6939 is a second-digit mini-poem where the 3 in 39 is half of the 6 in 69 and the 39 is a flip of the 93 comma at the end of the line. The 93 comma is also "hidden" in the middle of 6939! Another interesting feature is that the first and last digits of this word also form 69.
4 47-68 7510  58  2097  4944  59  2307  81 Featured7510 is a simile of 7950 from the previous line where the 9 is replaced by 1 and the 5 moves from the 3rd to the 2nd digit.
FeaturedThe 58-59 is the first occurance of a bracket. Note that the movement of the 5 in the 7950/7510 simile hints at the 58-59 bracket. Also note that this very same bracket occurs again in the third line of the 101-200 block.
Featured2097 is significant for me as it represents the year 2097 which is 100 years after 1997, a year that is in the vicinity of when I started this process of memorizing pi.
Featured4944 is a first-digit mini-poem which is also an outer-shell. For some reason I simply love reciting this word... it has an almost soothing sound to it. The difference between the 9 and the 4 in the second digits of this mini-poem is 5 which again points to the 5 of the 58-59 bracket.
Featured2307 is a simile of 2097 with the 9 being replaced by 3. Note that 9 squared points to 81, the comma of this line and that the 3 points to the 03 comma of the next line.
5 69-86 6406  2862  0899  8628  03 Featured6406 is an outer-shell and is reminicent of 6535 back in line 2. The 40 in the middle harks to the 4944 in the previous line and to the 4825 in the next line. The 64, which is the square of 8 announces that this line is full of 8's and reminds us of the 81 comma of the previous line.
Featured2862 is an outer-shell and is interesting in that it contains the beginning of three hidden quotations: 28, 86, and 62, ending two words later (8628, 8628, and 8628)!
Featured0899 starts with 08, the featured number in this line, and ends with 99 which is the digit 9 repeated. When you square 9 you get the 81 comma of the previous line.
Featured8628 is an outer-shell that contains the end of the quotations started two words back in 2862. Another curious thing about this word is that if you add the 6 and 2 you get a third 8... these three eights and the fact that this line has 3 words with 8's, all point to the 03 comma of this line! The 8, which is the featured digit of this line, can also be plugged in between the 79 comma of the next line giving a nice 3-digit sequence of 7,8,9.
6 87-100 4825  3421  1706  79 FeaturedThe 48 in 4825 rhymes with the 28 in the last word of the previous line (8628). The 25 also represents 25% off of the 64 in the 6406 of the previous line giving 48, the first half of this word. Another point of interest is that 48 is one short of 49, the square of 7 and 25 is the square of 5.
FeaturedWith the 34 in 3421, if you reverse the digits you get a nice descending sequence of 4,3,2,1. A way to remember this is that you can take the 34 and plug it in between the 25 of the the previous word to get a nice 4-digit sequence of 2,3,4,5!
FeaturedThe 17 in 1706 is half of the 34 from the previous word and the 06 harkens back to the 06 in the 6406 of the first word in the previous line.
