| me!). I've read on multiple occasions that exposure / training as

| a kid might explain my ability to detect absolute pitch.

| No sound in Mobile Safari

| Fun game, cool idea.

| Being able to backspace and replay my selection makes it too

|
| Hard mode seems a little too hard.
|
| Can I have a kinda-hard mode? :)
