That's why I said I admit it sounds fishy. I'd never make the claim that I'm not a weirdo :)

  Well I'm really curious about where your mind locks up and refuses to give the answer. If you can get the the stage of saying whether it's [much] faster or slower than the number of items then you've already done 98% of the work. Does something go wrong that makes you unable to memorize the math terms, but you could give them nicknames instead?

    Sometimes. I have trouble verbalizing a lot of mathematical concepts even though in an abstract sense people wouldn't realize that I couldn't explain why I was acting on things. Sometimes I can and yes, often then it's a difficulty pulling the correct terminology - now that I'm thinking about it perhaps it's because I'm already struggling to verbalize it anyways. Often if someone starts to lead me it all falls into place which I think somewhat goes along with what I just said here. Kind of like when you're struggling for someone's name, if someone starts to say it usually you remember it before they've even finished the first syllable.
