I am sorry but I am not good with detail like that.
I thought most audio/videophiles had a little bit of OCD...
How observant are you?

That would invalidate the test, wouldn't it? Because if you are the OCD type, you would Google every question before answering -- precisely what those cheating Canadians have done in this thread!!!
Me, I thought I had to get back to the forum and post away so I clicked if I didn't know the answer in the first millisecond. Being an engineer, I had a millisecond timer next to me and helping me get through the entire test in less than a second!
well...with the test indicating national average is 7...i suppose the average score here somewhere in the high teens would indicate maybe we are more observant or 'ocd' as Bruce suggests. Further, i would add if they had asked ridiculous questions about treble, detail retrieval, decay, bass slam...we would have all ended up scoring in the 23 mark...and the national average would have been 1!

That's it!! It's a biased test with skewed results that didn't reach the targeted audience!
I think this is a rounding vs. truncation issue!! ...Now that enough people have taken it, it asked what is the first number on FM dial. I said 87, it said 88 was true. This is wrong. FM frequencies start at 87.5. To wit, on my FM radio app on my Droid, it also starts with 87.5. Maybe old fashioned dial radios have 88 written on them. I don't know. I am a digital guy and an engineer, so details matter to me! OK, maybe not after missing all the other questions I answered quickly out of the need to not waste time!!!

Well if the average is "7", then I could probably tell you the demographic that the results were pulled from... but that is profiling and profiling is wrong!!

They asked for a full even digit, and 87.5 is not 87
Then the first full digit (without decimal) is 88
You should be banned! ----------------------------------------------------------Of course, jk
