Try and memorize a bunch of IPv6 addresses and see how many you can 
stuff into your head. ftoomsh for example:

mpf@nospam.ftoomsh:/old.root/cats/mpf$ ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:20:11:29:61
           inet addr:138.25.6.1  Bcast:138.25.6.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: 3ffe:8001:c:6:a00:20ff:fe11:2961/64 Scope:Global
           inet6 addr: fe80::a00:20ff:fe11:2961/10 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:18167993 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:19264128 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1
           collisions:467210 txqueuelen:100
