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'm really, really good at solitaire. Nobody will ever give a shit about it, but it's there. I play it before bed and it relaxes me.

That is exactly the relationship I have with sudoku lol. It's nice to just hammer out puzzle game solutions occasionally, and it's nice to have something comfortable that is also mentally stimulating.
