It's 2:15 am. Right now my eyes feel like they're gonna blow up. Should I
even try?

Cool, I got 15 and I was sure everything looked ok! Will have to try again
later in the dark...

Or rather, "test your monitor", presumably? :-P

Reminds me when my science teacher at school used some crappy small speaker
to demonstrate to us the human hearing frequency range. It wasn't
surprising that none of us could hear below 40 Hz!

I saw a similar thing, but with a British Telecom osciliscope for
testing underground cable. It was a big black metal box roughly the size
of a typical HiFi component, with a big blurry blue/purple LCD. I have
no idea if this means it had a less crappy speaker in it though...

I dunno. Are monitors really *that* different? The task here is to
visually distinguish between unique hues, without specifying exactly what
they look like other than being all different.

Well, if one of the guys in our lab tried this, they'd have a problem.
The red gun on one of the CRT monitors only fires at about 20%
brightness, so everything comes out looking a weird bluish colour.
(Also, the "black" actually comes out dark grey instead of black. And
there's pale white zigzag lines across the screen that won't go away...)

Well, I got 60.
I could say something about this LCD being half-broken, but basically I
suspect I just suck.

Someone scored 0... The test itself is rather diabolical, shifts in
subtle pastel hues are difficult to distinguish even in the best of
conditions.
