The second tone is the higher of the two.

But Patrick. If I go to this message

/tuning/topicId_50350.html#50350

which is the only one I can find in which Haresh gives his guesses,
I do not see "0 1 4 2 3" at all! Only "3 5 ? ? 1".

So I do not believe anyone got them right. You there Haresh?

I like the idea of a test with a built in drone. I expect people will
be able to rank them by distance from the drone, but will not be able
to tell in which direction, so it would be good to have say -3 -2 -1 0
1 2 3 cents relative to the drone (in random order). Sine waves should
be fine so long as the drone is a unison with the middle pitch, and
not an octave below or any such.
