"This won't tune!"

Test your sense of pitch. The quiz has 26 midi song clips, each around 10sec long. They come from US children's tunes, US patriotic songs, and Christmas carols. If you did not grow up in the US chances are you will have difficulty just b/c of familiarity w/ the songs. After you hear each, you have to pick whether it was played correctly, or incorrectly. I got 26/26 correct.

Good work. I guess we're used to most songs being in major key or minor, not weird other keys, so if we hear a note that doesn't fit into that key, those of us w/ a sense of pitch can tell something's off. Except for accidentals at least. I knew all the songs, though sometimes I couldn't tell on the first listen b/c the notes were so off.
