Great story. Thanks, Julie. The wonderful thing about these re-posts
is,
there are so many of them I don't remember. (My recall is nothing like
Tak's!)

I have actually recently been scientifically proven to have extremely
poor memorization skills.

I attended a series of lectures related to human perception, and as an
exercise, we were told to memorize a sequence of numbers. Quite
interestingly, I was found incapable of even remembering a single
digit!

I took a learning assessment that explained why - I have a learning
style where I assimilate information by forming models and theories,
and if I were given a sequence of numbers, my natural response was to
look for a predictive pattern - which is impossible with a random
number sequence.
