I have a really, really good memory. Not perfect by far, but I remember things in oddly detailed ways with relatively little exposure. This really helps as a student because I don't have to study that much; just enough to ensure I understand the concepts and that's it. I don't really need to review.
I'm still prone to the same sorts of little memory lapses that everyone has (I misplace my purse a LOT) but overall if it's something I actually paid attention to while learning it, I only need to learn it the once and I'm good.

I play the banjo. I can also cross one eye and keep the other straight which is something I practiced hard at as a kid

I was pretty freaking excited to come on here and go, "I can ride a unicycle!" because that's my go-to crazy talent that no one else can do, but then I click to find that @grannysmith912 is equally as awesome as I am. Haha.
I guess I'll go with my #2 cool talent: I can solve a Rubix cube. I'm not fast or anything and I generally screw up and have to start over a couple times before I get it right, but still, it's something I can do.
I'm good at logic puzzles, especially hands on ones. And I'm really good at reading body language. It's funny though, I'm incredibly socially awkward so it hasn't done me any good aside from knowing when I've bombed an interview.
I'm really good at not hurling when I'm nauseous. We used to go for lots of long car rides when I was a kid and I get wicked bad motion sickness so I had a lot of practice and developed some strategies. That's come in handy the past couple months.
I'm also pretty boss at board games and drinking alcohol.
I was about to come and post that same gif of Jennifer Lawrence, @HomeyDontPlayThat because that is my legit talent. My family all does what we call Rubber Lips and I can do the invisible thread trick.
I'm a speed reader. Not the kind that uses their finger to scan words or whatever, but I can finish a 400 page novel in a few hours. I can just compute everything in front of me very quickly. Kind of my one claim to fame.
I'm pretty good at word puzzles. I also used to be really good at organizing things, but my mom exploited that talent when I was a child and now I hate organizing.
Honestly I think my only talent is being sarcastic. I can also watch the exact same TV show every night for over a year and not get tired of it. I'm also pretty fast at reading. Not as fast as @HomeyDontPlayThat tho.
NavyBride93 ...I am a great sleeper and cuddler of cats. I am also great (was also great?) at finishing multiple bottles of wine at once...but after 9 month of sobriety, I'm not sure how future attempts will go
I'm really good at jigsaw puzzles. Any puzzles really (crossword, math, logic...) but I love finding a cool 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle and finishing it in one day.

I can hula hoop, in not amazing or anything but I'm a certified hoop dance and hoop fit instructor. I am also double jointed in my fingers and can bend them back pretty far, it's kind of gross though.
Re: GTKY: What is your talent?
(I guess I should say I used to unicycle... But I'm confident I still could if given the opportunity.
I'm still prone to the same sorts of little memory lapses that everyone has (I misplace my purse a LOT) but overall if it's something I actually paid attention to while learning it, I only need to learn it the once and I'm good.

I have zero musical talents and am maybe average at best at sports. But I do have a pretty impressive photographic memory.
I think reading accounts for 95% of my education.
I'm also pretty fast at reading.
Not as fast as @HomeyDontPlayThat tho.
