   all of them worked here (linux, rehat, 2.6.18)

   this is amazing! and I am so glad I am not tone deaf! so proud of my
lower-than normal pitch recognition :-)

   the last audio-visual test is most fun, my score, they go from low
abstraction level to higher abstraction level (order of cognition):

58.0% pitch
67.6% musical memory
71.1% contour discrimination
74.7% musical/visual abstraction

   so glad it was proven I can enjoy music on higher levels even with
low-normal physical abilities :-) Not that I didn't enjoy it before but
now I have science supporting me :-)

   I wish there were more tools/toys like that to train your low level
skills... anybody knows anything similar (I tried solfege but it's not
working very well for me)
