    I believe perhaps the illusion worked too well for you. Their point was
not that notes an octave apart are "the same note". Those notes were not
pure tones, but rather a mixture of pitches, and I believe that the first
and last notes were _the same_ mixtures of pitches (presumably containing
the note an octave apart, among other tones). Of course there's no way to
verify that.
    I had the same thought that you did, at first, but when I read the
explanation I realized they weren't claiming that notes an octave apart are
the same.

    I did okay on the Stroop as well, and on the "MA" sound (but I did
terribly on many other items...).
