Do you think there is anyone who is smart enough to memorise the Yellow Pages?

I don't mean every single Yellow Pages in America, just one city?
I don't mean Death Valley either. That would be a joke.
They say the human brain is able to hold a wide variety of memories but I wonder if there is actually someone who could memorize an entire Yellow Pages.
Beyond this there is some speculation that some spelling bee champions have essentially memorized Webster's Dictionary. Go figure.

I expect someone with savant syndrome or something similar could do it...I'd struggle with a page or two

This sounds encouraging. I did not realize being a savant was a syndrome like an affliction, but more like a gift from the man upstairs.

@lookatdesktop not really as the downside is the majority of them have autistic spectrum type disorders.

@Mike197602 , so they have autism along with a super high IQ? This is so strange.

They might be able to do that but with time they would forget.
