This is fascinating, Mehmet. I have a good memory, in that if you tell me your grandmother has only four toes on her left foot, I will remember that fact tomorrow and ten years from now. But my ability to verbatim memorize is extremely limited. As a kid, pre-cellular phone, my friends knew around 20 phone numbers and I only memorized around 3 or 4. In college, I was cast in a play and had a terrible time learning the lines, unlike my castmates. It was very frustrating for me. I wish I could readily recite poetry or easily learn new languages, but my brain doesn't seem to be wired that way.
