Questionnaire
Report
Based on the number of calculations for the second quiz, this participant found quiz 2 harder. Linking this with the questionnaire, it seems that the music could have been a distraction as the participant claims the music to be "too calm and steady", where 'too' expresses distraction from the music. There is also an incorrect answer in the second quiz, which furthers poses as evidence for the music as being distracting, rather than a focusing tool.
However, it could also be pointed out that the quizzes themselves are not useful indicators for whether music could help or distract someone when doing mental work, as this person says they are "not good at mental maths".
