Wouldn't life be a lot easier and efficient if we could remember such things off the top of our heads?

Miki Lee Yuk-kuen is someone who can do just that. She founded the Hong Kong Memory Study Association in September last year.

'Normal people only use about three- to five-per cent of their brains. Einstein only used 18 per cent of his, and he was the smartest man in the world,' Ms Lee, 31, said.
