Funny you metion that, since I was a kid I've always had a good memory most of the tests I took in High School I memorized the answers as short as possible and associated them with things I that I already knew.
For example Daxxs boulbe x and the fact that hos cc was #187 which was a propositon a few years back was the fastest way to memorize that.... Strange huh! but it's more of a habbit now...
