Test your memory as you wander around

Look at a license plate on a car, memorize it, then go to the next car and memorize it. Can you repeat the first one? Can you do a third? How many can you do and repeat accurately?

I could have done this easily when I was younger, but now?...It would be a challenge to remember the colour of the car I saw before the one I'm looking at. 🥴

@FreddieUK Haha yea, it certainly gets harder as you age, plus I think it makes it more challenging because you don't really want to remember it, there is only so much RAM in your head and don't want to waste it. ;)

@JamesBugman I've often wondered something like that. Our brains do not work like digital stores but they are of finite size, so must surely have some sort of limit on what we can remember.
