It would be interesting to check the difference in retention over a day, a week, a month, and 6 months. I thought I was awesome like that until I realized that there are huge amounts of things that I don't really remember after a time because I never think about them. The memories can be elicited by reminders or some kind of trigger, but otherwise, they are outside of my conscious thought process. It's sort of like archival storage versus what I keep in RAM.
