Idemic or "photographic" memory as depicted in popular culture does not exist. most of the people who can remember a lot of information very quickly are actually on some level of deliberately using mnemotechnique methods, such as nursery ryhming (like that one released soldier in vietnam) or graph traversal. it's preposterous to assume that anyone could recite fragmented data such as source code simply by being exposed to it (ie not by purposefully memorizing it)
