Dan, perhaps a more meaningful 'first experiment' (because it's more
fundamental, and an experimental program should begin with the basics)
would be to make a tape of different orchestral excerpts, none of the
excerpts being on the tape twice.

The challenge would be:

"These excerpts are performed by a small number of orchestras, but I'm
not telling you how many of these excerpts were performed by the same
orchestra, nor even if each orchestra performed an equal number of these
excerpts.

"Your task is to 'name' each excerpt with a letter which identifies the
orchestra that performed it. For example, you may feel that excerpts
#2 and #3 were performed by the same orchestra, whereas excerpts #1 and
#4 were performed by some other orchestra. Therefore you would assign
the name "A" to excerpts #2 and #3, and you would assign the name "B" to
excerpts #1 and #4."

The detail of assigning a paicular nationality or culture would come
later.... if the test subjects proved able to divide the excerpts into
categories reliably.

<sheesh, why is the word "excerpt" so hard to type correctly !?>
