Hmmm... interesting... i just took this challenge, but I didn't
really try to guess which one the Liquid Mix was (never heard
it, therefore how the fuck could i pick it out?), but rather
went under the pretense that I would automatically pick the one
that sounded "worse" to my ear as the Liquid Mix in each
case...
....in doing so, I only got 30% of them RIGHT.

I just took the challenge, also assuming I would like the Liquid mix less,
not ever having heard it. I got 60% right. This was through cheap tiny speakers
on my internet computer.

You doubled my score - you rat-bastard! lol
I went with whichever one i thought sounded thinner, or less
high-fidelity as the LiquidMix. If both sounded good, but one
sounded "smoother", that was the one I picked as the analog
clip... not all that scientific, perhaps, but it gave me
a "control" group, in a way - the hypothetical center where I
wasn't guessing, but was rather making my selections on
preconceived notions of digital processing.
Kudos to Mucusrite... I may have to get one of these now!

Keep in mind with ABY testing you're actually going against a coin flip, so
while he did 'double' your score he did so by being 10% better than a coin
flip while you were 20% worse.
