I'm not sure how I figure things out sometimes (like puzzles, codes, etc.) The answer just comes to me. Sometimes I figure things out in my sleep and wake up with the answer.

I know where things are in books that I've read. For example, if I remember a quote or passage that I want to look up, I remember how far through the book it was (not the page number, the thickness of the pages) where on the page it is located, the shape of the text, etc. I can usually find it quickly. This really came in handy for writing papers in college. I would write the whole paper in my mind and then type it out all at once, word for word. I would just stop to fill in the quotes. A real time-saver smile

When I understand something, I "see" how it all works, especially math and physics concepts or theorems.
