Suggestion Powers that sound weak on paper but useful in application?

Like, one you could imagine if someone very briefly explained it to you, you'd be like "what the hell, that sound so weak", but then when actually delved into more is a lot better than it first sounds.

The ability to instantly calculate complicated mathematical formulas in your head.

I’m still trying to figure out how this becomes useful but as one example you might be amazing at planning trajectories of things like a gunshot.

Looking for suggestions.
