Well I’m worse than y’all at 28 no headphones, going as quickly as possible. Some 64th and 32nd tones got me, but I clicked the wrong button on a half tone that I knew went the other way but was just bound and determined to press the button my thumb was above.
The top of the charts game is ok too, like playing name that tune against the clock.
@djslack Except I didn’t know many of those tunes to begin with in either one of those similar games - the one with the singing and the one with just the tune. Did know the nursery rhythms and the one classical piece that was in there (version with no singing).
The 64th of a note I only got half of them right, all the rest of them I got right. I think if I had heard the 64th notes a second time I might have gotten the rest of those. I found on those I had to chose accuracy over speed to get any of them right.
That was pretty cool.
I got 28/32, without headphones.
I definitely can’t consciously hear anything less than 1/16th of a tone, but I guessed right on enough of the 1/32s to think that maybe I can hear it subconsciously.
I missed the first couple of 1/16ths, but then got all the rest easily, so I think I could score better if I did it again with headphones.
@DrWorm On the other hand if you have hearing damage from loud noises, age, etc. the issue actually isn’t being tone deaf, rather it is hearing issues that are interfering.
@RiotDemon I got 28/32, but at a 50/50 chance, I got a few where I didn’t have a clue. I think there were four 1/32 steps and four 1/64 steps mixed in there and I got exactly half of the them.
@DrWorm hmm, I didn’t even really think about it that it’s a 50/50 chance to get everything right. I wonder if there’s another test that’s a little more hard to accidentally get them right.
@DrWorm@RiotDemon Actually it is a 50/50 chance per question. The overall chance of getting everything right you couldn’t tell the difference is different. The chance is 0.5 getting a question right If you are guessing the overall chance of getting ALL those right is different. Lets say there are 4 questions where you couldn’t hear the difference and so are guessing. The chance of getting all of the ones you are guessing on is: 0.50.50.5*0.5 = 0.0625
@lehigh Matching a pitch with your voice and hearing the difference between pitches though are different skills. Same with playing some instruments. You could learn how to play the piano or flute, etc. while being tone deaf. You learn which key belongs to which written note. No ambiguity there. You’d have more trouble learning how to play the trombone, trumpet, etc. being tone deaf since some of what you learn to do is regulate your lips and breath to find the exact pitch. Or the violin since finger placement on an instrument with no frets affects how true to pitch the note you produce is. Problem wouldn’t be there on a guitar.
I got 30/32 correct. I wasn’t wearing headphones. Maybe I’ll try again with headphones one day.
I’m not tone deaf, I guess. I just can’t sing.
29/32 with headphones. might have gotten 30/32, but the dog barked. like @RiotDemon, i’m not tone deaf, i just can’t sing for shit.

29/32 w/headphones, with at least one stupid mistake. Those sixty-fourth notes are tricky.
The 64th of a note I only got half of them right, all the rest of them I got right. I think if I had heard the 64th notes a second time I might have gotten the rest of those. I found on those I had to chose accuracy over speed to get any of them right.
31/32 but I don’t play any instruments. I used to like to sing as a child, that’s about it. Oh and recorder in Elementary school.
That was pretty cool.

Bona fide tone deaf. I honestly could hear no difference at a 1/32 step.
@DrWorm how many did you get?

@DrWorm @Kidsandliz I understand that. That’s not what I meant
I can’t sing worth a lick, but got 31/32, missing one of the 1/64 steps. Maybe all those trumpet lessons as a kid.
