The next day, during the exam, they are surprised to find they can vividly recall the specific location of a diagram on a page (e.g., 'it was in the top right corner'), even though they never made a conscious effort to remember its position.

A student is walking across campus to the library, mentally reviewing the key points for their upcoming history exam. On the way, a friend stops them and asks them to remember a specific locker combination: 24-11-36. The student repeats the numbers to themself a few times before continuing on their way. Later that day, which piece of information was most likely encoded into the student's memory without conscious effort?
