No. It's muscle memory. Your fingers know what order to press the buttons in. Our old office had a burgular alarm - usual thing - type in a short number into a keypad, and close the door to set it. We moved out 7 years later (I probably set/unset the alarm most days), and the new occupant asked me what the alarm code was. I had no idea. :doh: I had to go back to the office, and enter the number, while he watched the keypad to see which buttons I pressed.

Yes, you seem to have activated your delay setting. In five years time you'll remember the conference number. Have you been talking to any women lately?

Do you honestly expect people to ignore the opportunity to say yes to that question?

The film is memorable. The conference call is not. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

If more people would ask this question up front when they sign up here, we could probably avoid a lot of the problems we see in articles and questions...

My memory tanked over a period of years while I was vegetarian. Fixing my diet and getting back in shape helped me out a lot.

Yes. Three seconds is way too long :)
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

I was just about to post this exact example. A while back I realised this was dangerous and I tried to write down the numbers. Thankfully I'm left handed so I could write while pressing the keypad keys with my right hand. Unfortunately I discovered a flaw. My fingers are incapable of remembering the digits when they are being watched. With a bit of trial and error I got it, had it gone on any longer I'd have been getting out a camcorder and a tripod. -Rd

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.

Why not type in notepad, so that you can see the result?
If I'm not getting it to type the numbers into a banking website, my hand get's all coy. It's a built in anti-phishing safe guard. Also, the camcorder would have been a more technically cool solution than notepad. Kind of like inventing a zero gravity pen instead of just using a pencil. -Rd

I learned how to finish a rubik's cube a few months ago, using a tutorial on the web based on small stories to remember the moves more easily. Now I have forgotten almost all stories, but I can still finish the rubik's cube. Muscle memories. This is also a good advantage for computer keypads vs. phone keypads, which are inverted. Otherwise, you would have to think "wait, am I on a phone or a computer, is the 1 key again on the top or on the bottom, ..".
