If you sent this to us in a private e-mail before the tests were closed, everything would be OK. I hope you are not playing a game of not understanding the rules. Also, it was possible to describe this in a PM, though PM does not allow attachments. Instead, you posted it immediately to two different test threads, without any consultation with authors of threads.

Yes, sorry for that mistake. I told you what I had in mind. I also told you why I wanted to waste my time joining the test, because SY WOULD accept the result of the test (and NOT the previous tests where I have also wasted my time) because he thought that last one is a CONTROLLED one. So when I found it was not controlled at all, in shock, I mistakenly thought that the test should be disqualified.

N.B. I don't play games. No games in my 3 computers.

Anyway, it seems that simple ABX between 2 files cannot be cheated. The cheating possibility was to assign 12 files to groups A and B, according to replay gain. Replay gain itself does not suggest if X is A or B, during replay.
Paradoxically, the "more structured test" could be cheated much easier, than simple ABX test.

I still don't understand (I don't know about the technicalities) why you cannot randomize the gain so the Foobar feature cannot be used?
