This was my biggest puzzle as a child: how do all those people in crime shows describe suspects? And was it just made up?

This was my biggest puzzle as a child: how do all those people in crime shows describe suspects? And was it just made up?
- floitsch 2y agoThe other ones for me: - "go to your happy place", or "imagine you are on an island..." - counting sheep to fall asleep. I just couldn't visualize them.
- e38383 2y agoI still counted them, it just didn’t make sense. It was more a spreadsheet - spreadsheep? - than visualizing real sheep. And it didn’t help me fall asleep at all.
- codesuki 2y agoI had to laugh so much because of spreadsheep. Thank you.
- gmokki 2y agoWhen I tried counting sheep it was very hard work: like stop motion animation. First picture a sheep, move it one frame, then re-draw everything including the fence that vanished every frame. It could easily take many minutes to move on sheep over a fence and exhaust me.
- perrygeo 2y agoSame here. The scene where the witness describes the criminal's face in detail while the sketch artist can render a perfect drawing - I assumed that was pure Hollywood fantasy. Then I met people who could effortlessly recall/draw to that level and realized that wow it's real, but not for me.
- shirro 2y agoI thought it was all metaphorical or for dramatic effect.
