For the German-speaking, three of them are mnemonic: Cw�lf, Dreizehn, 
F�nfzehn.

(I started using hex with O, A, ..., N, P on a computer using these digits
as abbreviations of instructions, e.g. A (0x1) for "add" and M (0xD) for 
"multiply". One could thus immediately read the binary registers to see 
which instruction was last before the computer was halted.)
