What's your uncanny special talent, or what comes absolutely natural to you that makes others look at you in intrigue/disbelief?

I know not everyone of us has a special talent, but many of us do. Some are just incredible. So, what are they??

Edit: Please don’t be humble. Let it out. Be proud of it and share so we can marvel.

I have what I can best describe as a general knack for reverse engineering or understanding other people’s work the hard way. I learned to code by reverse engineering original DOOM, and back when I worked at a hobby shop my manager called me a mad scientist because I would, among other things, mix up my own paints to see if I figured it out. I also pick up how existing codebases work pretty quickly, which would probably be useful if I actually got hired. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
