It reminds me of times in high school when I could solve math problems without thinking at all and be right. I never perfectly mastered this trick, mind you, and it happens much less these days (I’m almost 30 now). I wonder which hack that falls under, and if I could rebuild that skill with exerecises.
I didn’t notice a difference in my Sudoku performance using one eye or the other, BTW.
