Test your music listening ability

There is an interesting study being done about how people with a hearing disorder, amusia, hear music. You can contribute to the study by taking the test. You listen and compare 30 sets of musical phrases and indicate for each if you think the two are the same or different.

CNN Article about it

I got 30/30, not sure what it means, but it was fun. I know that if something is playing out of tune it makes me wince. I grew up playing violin so that probably helps, though I haven't played in years.
