 Not trolling - you must be big brain. curious what types of problems you find yourself able to solve in such a way 
 I'm an engineer at a medical device design firm. I seem to be particularly good at coming up with novel gizmos and contraptions that can solve the problem de jour, and predicting probable behaviors/failure models/strengths and weaknesses of said contraptions. On the flip side, I'm atrocious with written language, and my memory is distinctly hit or miss 😂
