How good is your sense of intonation?

After playing some long tones with my tuner today I decided to google "how many cents is considered out of tune" and came across this fun little test.

Listen to four pairs of tones, and say which is higher.

The difference goes from 50 cents to 12 cents and the author says he finds 12 cents difficult.
I got all four correct, but the last one I had to listen to each tone about 3 times before I could be sure.

Also interesting is that the average Joe can't really detect even 25 cents as being out of tune:
