1. Hack #53: Learn Morse Code Like an Efficiency Expert

Learn the Morse code alphabet and numbers painlessly and efficiently in an hour or less – starting now!

1.1. Additions and Suggestions

As inspired by the graphic novel by Alan Moore 'V for Vendetta', a simpler way of remebering the code for the letter V is Bethoven's Fifth. Da-da-da-Duuuumm. This is, as noticed by Detective Finch in the graphic novel, Morse Code for the letter V. It kind of stuck with me. People can add alternative mnemonics (in other languages): Alternative Words

1.2. Discussion

Missing from this hack was the idea of using a tree. Perhaps this would suit more visual learners. --- AndyGavin
