Memorising numbers

August 8, 2007 by Jen at Semantically driven

Should I be worried or pleased that I know everything that’s on my Visa card?

I know the name displayed, I know all the numbers from the actual Visa card number, the expiry date and even the three digit code on the back.

How is it that I can memorise numbers like this, and phone numbers, but in an interview at a pub when I lived in London in the early 90s I couldn’t add up 3×3 lots of numbers in my head?

    Is it just numbers, or a lot of stuff? For example, how many Crowded House songs can you recall the lyrics for when they play on the radio? 😉

    If it were just numbers that would be strange.. I memorise a lot of odd stuff though..

    I don’t think it’s too unusual if you use your visa card a lot, though. 😉
