This doesn’t seem that bad, just some mnemonics.

  • 9-8-7, numbers in order, reversed.
  • 2-4-9, kinda looks like the word “she” (I guess)
  • 3113 looks like the name “Elle”

The rest is just describing extra steps of encoding and decoding the number in their mind.

I’ll admit I’m a bit lost on the color-coded step. And the way they changed the strokes in 2-4-9 on different steps. But mnemonics are often “it works for me even if it doesn’t make full logical sense” so not gonna criticize.

I'm almost certain the "she" part is referring to "elle" which means "she" in french

Maybe, but step 4 seems to tie the two together somehow.
