Remember the zero gravity fight / rotating corridor scene in the movie Inception? How did they film it?
Director Christopher Nolan explains (hint: they actually built a real rotating set):
... I spent just a couple of minutes on this set while it's rotating and what it does to your brain is extremely difficult to operate ... your whole sense of up and down and your sense of scale and your sense of orientation completely dissolves when the set starts moving.

You don't really think about it when you're watching the movie.
Still - good fun.
Bean, it only matters if you actually are synesthetic, which I sort of doubt you are... the symbols don't have to match the music, you just have to remember that each symbol represents a different melody...and varies each time. It doesn't matter if they "match" or not. After all, for most of us, no melody sounds square...or triangular.

All in all, my score is 85%. I guess it's not that bad. ;)
Wouldn't want anyone to feel bad for scoring poorly on an abstract internet test.
