Ways to Remember 1492

• This quote helps: "In fourteen-hundred-and-ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue."

• If you can't remember that, just remember the year 1493. Should be a year before that.

• 1+4+9+2=16. And 1+6 = 7. 7 is much easier to remember than 1492. Work backwards from there.

• 1492 is 2 times 746. Or 4 times 374. I mean, 373. See how easy it is?

• Remember back in 1992, when we had the Gulf War? Now just subtract 500 years. Wait--the war was in 1991? Make that 499 years. Or 501. Hmm.

• If you know when the moon landing was, that would be an easy reference. You can do the math yourself.

• 1492? That's easy. Columbus, jackass.
