know without knowing

Is this correct? Does this mean anything?

I knew it without actually knowing it.

Maybe it means something like : I knew the answer to a question but I don't know how I knew it.

Thanks

Anonymous I knew the answer to a question but I don't know how I knew it. We can "know" things intuitively. Yes, given the proper context, I think this would be perfectly understood.
