(REQUIRES SOUND)

I got the last one wrong exiting with 14 points.

What score can you get?

Final Score all right 21, I used to be a sound recording engineer. You have to have really good abilities to detect sound amongst static, its not easy!

Good Luck => Next... :blob3:

14 as well. That last one is a challenge.

Because of my past in Sound engineering I have an advantage in audio speakers connected to my computer. If you are going to test yourself? Make sure you have quality listening speakers. My selection is the Cambridge Soundworks selection - Top of the line when I bought the computer way back when. If your going to be listening from your own cheap computer speakers you will not be able to hear the differentiation between the noise and the music. Just offering good advice..!

Holy smokes batman - was that liuqyn that just blew past on the Einstein @ Home superhighway?

Nice crunching there pal. I'd better put some effort in quick smart. :icon_wink:

Liuqyn, a question for ya: are you running your GPUs with the CPU in Einstein? I find it just makes the room hotter and doesn't appear to have any obvious improvement in points per day.

they tried to, before I caught them and set it for CPU only. running other GPU projects and this one only wanted to run 1 task on CPU/GPU while leaving other cores idle.

I also scored a perfect 21. I wasn't a sound recording engineer, but I was cross trained as a Sonar Technician in the US submarine service back in the 70's. We had to similarly listen for patterns, phase shifts and frequencies amongst the background noise of the ocean. I really didn't have any problems with this game, except that I had to listen to the last one twice. Not too bad for an old guy.
