As a musician, I developed a sense of time in my mind, and it expanded to everyday actions and thoughts. Am I the one that did answer the questions correctly?

Not a musician, but same. There was one question without a correct answer, I felt cheated.

I think time just starts getting weird when you hit your thirties. Seems to catch everybody off guard.

Time gets really weird when you start introducing chemicals to the brain. Certain drugs not only drag time out, but completely shift the perception to non-linear.

I feel like knowing that the questions were going to be about time made them really easy.

It was not about 'answering correctly' it was about perceptions.

From the first question forward, if one wanted to guess what the technically correct answer was, it was pretty straightforward.

The point wasn't to 'test' it was to get people to see how small artefacts can consistently shift our view of time.

There's no 'win' in answering the questions correctly.

It doesn't. Also, the perceptual demos don't work.
