They did all seem exceedingly obvious, though. I remember taking a similar (but longer) one a couple years ago that gave me more trouble than this one.
I remember taking one in grade school (mid-late 70's) that was much harder. The differences between notes was very subtle in some cases.

A choir director told me that I was tone-deaf, not that I can't hear the differences between notes (I scored 100%), but that I hear the note differently than other (normal?) people, thus I sing off-key, thus I don't sing unless alone in the shower or car.

Got a perfect score, but I've been a musician for 35+ years.

Now, do a regular hearing test and I'll fail that spectacularly :(

That test was a joke right? I play classical piano and have significant hearing loss with some pretty extreme accute tinnitus, so I've taken lots of different hearing tests. That was ridiculously easy.

10/12 for 3rd stage.

Some of those "digital notes" (which I call nonsense), were tricky.
