The test, made on Playbuzz by user 'meganelizabeth10', creator of other scientific quizzes such as "Can We Guess Your Male Celebrity Crush In Just 8 Questions?", "Which Disney Prince Should You Kiss Under The Mistletoe?" and "Watch Channing Tatum Bust 7 Dance Moves in 30 Seconds!", claims in the headline that only "1 per cent of the population can pass this photographic memory quiz".

Sadly, it seems that you don't find out you have a prodigious memory by taking quizzes on the internet. Who knew?
Were you part of the "one per cent" with a "photographic memory"? Let us know in the below poll:
