True, *if* they are recognizable and easy to remember. Trying to 
remember that the tile with six dots on it is the six stone is very 
reasonable :-). Trying to remember what a 6 looks like in Chinese, 
well... is a little harder, but not absurd. (FWIW, I can identify the 
numbers in Bamboo, partly by knowing the glyphs but the coloring helps 
quite a bit.)

Trying to remember that Anubis is the 1 wan (repeat for 26 other glyphs 
with equally-obvious associations)... well, that's asking a bit much.

Close enough to simultaneous ;-). Anyway, we agree; that's more 
important :-).

As a person not laughing, I assert that your statement is false ;-).

I won't be offended if it doesn't have a 'K', I'm just offering 
suggestions. (Hey, and we both mentioned 'four winds'... how odd is that?)
