I bet it uses one of the Self-Organizing Maps variants to identify the sound snip. You may be able to fool this algorithm by injecting sound frequences in your upload that are too high to hear for people, but is still represented digitally. Of course this depends on *how* you inject the sounds as not all microphones would pick it up, but if you just edited it in a studio or patch program, no problem.
There as many ways to understand math, it all boils down to how YOU understand concepts and exploiting your own neurophysiology as your would a wireless router with a default login/pass. There is, for example, synesthesia, which is the crossing of senses. I am a synesthetic and I have very strong color/shape associations with letters, numbers, symbols, words, sounds, etc. E is orange, 8 is indigo, 9 is red, etc. If you have perceptions like this (and many people do without ever realizing they percieve the world differently to most people) you can train youself to be more "intuitive" with math based on color concepts. Feynman himself is a synesthetic and percieves equations in different colors depending on their structures. Even if you don't naturally have this ability, it can be trained to a degree, though how far I don't know. I have heard of people cultivating the ability through concentrating on existing associations, regardless of how weak they are, and eventually they intensify. Hallucineogens can also induce temporary and, with enough use, permanent synesthetic perceptions. We all have unique neural structures cultivated from our life experiences, its just a matter of how much you "know thyself" so that you can exploit your own understandings to better compute math. Try to find likenesses between the math you are working on and your stronger cognitive abilities. If you are spacially strong, thing about math in 3D terms if you can, etc. Hack thyself!
