Why Do Some People Have Extraordinary Memories?

Some people can remember things really well, like a magic trick. Imagine you're shown 20 numbers in a row and asked to repeat them back, most people would forget half of them or mix up the order. But someone with supermemory could do it perfectly every time, even if they were distracted or tired. This happens because their brain stores memories more clearly, like a super-strong library that never loses books.
