Where did this crazy list come from? Has the guy never looked at an actual telephone?

  The following mapping from letters to digits is given:

  E | J N Q | R W X | D S Y | F T | A M | C I V | B K U | L O P | G H Z
  e | j n q | r w x | d s y | f t | a m | c i v | b k u | l o p | g h z
  0 |   1   |   2   |   3   |  4  |  5  |   6   |   7   |   8  
 |9
  

  We want to use this mapping for encoding telephone numbers by words, so
  that it becomes easier to remember the numbers.
