The Quiz - results, 1st part

The total number or submitted questionaries was 58. I decided to include also the answers which gave no decision, since no answer is also an answer. The table shows the results per composition. The right choises are marked in red:

The overall result is that the number of right answers does not remarkably exceeds a pure "guess" - i.e. 50%, except for no. 3 where 57% of respondents chose the right answer.

The results follow closely the Gaussian curve, which centers around the middle value (3 good answers out of 6) and is slightly shifted towards the upper part of the spectrum (people tend to get slightly more than 50% of good answers). There are, moreover, 5 users who got almost all the right answers. These are most probably those with greatest listening experience. Those 4 users, who got only 1 right answer, might be also very experienced listeners and hear the difference of the authentic and of the virtual, but they attributed their listening experience wrongly.

These purely statistical results show, that in average it is not possible to distinguish between authentic and virtual recording with a certainty much exceeding pure guess.
