Fred - excellent observation. The test was 
'easy'  for me, and you're right..it does not 
answer the question presented here in this forum.

A subset of a subset would be a difficult find. 
I will offer my self to any one or group wishing 
to test a tighter parameter. I think it would be 
fun, and open some eyes and minds.

PS - Please don't get the idea that I think my 
ability is superior to anyone else's. These 
types of test are usually fairly easy..dealing 
with singular tones. 3 and 4-note chord 
structures - note clusters - are far more 
challenging, but again, does not answer the 
question brought forward here.
