The effect I've noticed is that after searching in vain for some important object, when I finally give up and decide to go get a new one or make do with something else, within a second or two of making that decision I'll look across the room and look right at the lost thing. This happens so amazingly often, to me it's just normal. My theory is that part of my mind knows where the thing is but withholds the information because it's being entertained by the search. Then when I resolve to do something different it means the game is over, so it lets the information come forward. But I'm not a brain scientist.

I wish I had this power. I will often lose things as I'm holding them in my hand, only to find them 2 to 3 moves later after it's been years (if I ever find them again). To this day I still don't know where my 1st Gen Pokémon cards or my copy of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for GameCube are... :(
