I didn't get 100% but I panic-pressed a few. I know it was panic because I got most of the other difficult ones after!

Pitch perception can be hard! Especially when it got to 1/64 of a half step.

Well that was annoying, because on the 2 that I missed I had a "wait,no..." moment just as I was pushing the button, but 'twas too late... :mad2:

That seems like the field of vision test I did six months ago. It took 3 minutes to work out how & what so I didn't do brilliantly. THEN the technician said that people's results improve each time they do it...Doh!

We all were! I was thinking, geez, this is easy, then, uh oh... :lollers:

The first 1/64th I sat there for about 3 seconds, working out what had just happened, but in the end I got it right. And if I slowed down I probably would have got them all, but I wanted to beat your 1 second average response time... :biggrin:

Competitive much?

Yes, I got 29 but I was kicking myself, because I knew I'd panicked or lost concentration. I know I can hear intonation faults, so this should've been a doddle.

I’ve found the faster you go, the more likely you are to get it right.

I can go much lower, though. I use an app that keeps going until you can’t anymore. I’ve gone down to 0.75% of a half step before I mess up.

I had this weird lag where I'd click an answer and nothing would happen then I'd click again and it would skip like three pages real fast so I just quit.
