How is the number / tetris code in Fez intended to be solved?

Question

In the same spirit as : How is the language code in Fez intended to be solved?

I was able to crack the language code using tradition substitution cipher breaking techniques.

But I ended up cheating on the number/tetris symbols by looking on the Internet.

The number code is logical enough now I know it -- but I can't see how I would have arrived at it without help.

With regard to tetris shapes:

What would cause you to go down the path of associating Tetris shapes with controller inputs?

Answer

For the tetris shapes:

There is a room where a pillar flashes the appropriate shape when you apply the input near it. There's a tetris-shaped chain next to it to test the inputs on. It looks like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/pfnDd.png

It was really satisfying to figure that one out for myself, I loved that puzzle.

For the numbers:

The numbers are in order on a wall (in the big-head village I think), and 1-4 are on connected treasure maps.
