Needless to say, it kicks in at random moments when I’m not playing. Passing by a store, reading train station signs, you name it.
I’ve observed a similar thing with Scrabble. After some years (18 by now) of tournament-level Scrabble playing, I’ve developed the anagramming ability: throw a rack at me and I’ll dump the Polish anagrams with 70-80% accuracy. I no longer reorganize letters on my rack or even in my head: the anagrams just come back. It’s become an unconscious primitive. Needless to say, it kicks in at random moments when I’m not play…
"being able to walk around a city and not get lost" I have this module. You can fly me to a new country and drop me in a city I've never seen before, and I'll start navigating it on foot in a day. It worked for me in Copenhagen, Rome, and Barcelona (and miserably failed in Tallinn at night). I always thought that it was my innate ability to navigate three-dimensional spaces, but now I begin to suspect that this is a…

This doesn't work in triangle-based cities like Szczecin :) It's very hard to stop the assumption that 2 right turns is roughly 180 degrees :)
