It's the same for a few other of those types of puzzles, as well as cryptograms.
I had a good friend who could type his papers out like you, Cathy. Way cool.
Does anyone ever have an experience where you can just see a hidden object (say, in a Where's Waldo book)? My kids have one of these books and I picked it up one night and found every Waldo immediately. It was cool (I can't always do this at that level, but when that system is working at peak efficiency, it's great).
And here's a weird one for people who drive in heavy traffic frequently: I constantly seek patterns of traffic flow during periods of congestion. This isn't something I do consciously; it just happens. The result is that I get quite good at what I call surfing a traffic jam. I know when exactly when Lane 1 will be faster and when to get out of it and move to Lane 2 or 3 or whatever. I can tell how much better I'm moving by picking a big vehicle like a truck and seeing how far I get ahead of it (it usually disappears from view). Anyone else do that?
Yes, most definitely, I had a fun time just the other morning doing this. There was a car behind me all the way, it was pretty cool! Knowing which lane to bop into and when can be pretty fun when it all comes together (not even speeding, but everyone else is like in slow motion so it feels very freeing.)
