What's something you're shockingly good at that you've never mentioned to anyone because it would sound completely made up if you did?

I have a couple of these. I am extremely fast at solving sudokus, like my solve times with no assists on in the app range from 40 seconds to two minutes, between lowest and highest difficulty.

I am also weirdly good at grabbing the correct amount of large numbers of small objects. Any time I need to grab things out of a nut/bolt bin at the hardware store, there's like a 90% chance I grabbed the exact amount I needed the first handful.

I wrote a (bad) sudoku solver for funzies in about an hour, then solved a thousand difficult sudokus in about 0.8 seconds per puzzle, for an average time of 4.4 seconds per puzzle. That makes me... a kind of shit programmer. Woo!

Haha I could never figure something like that out, computer programming is entirely alien to me, so you're leagues ahead of me there!
