How did you get it so fast?

By being a native speaker? You do sometimes get enthusiastic natives quickly posting the answers to questions which are meant to be a test for learners to ponder over.

Am I the only one who listens to that time and again and can't hear 作品?

[roddy 5,428]

I have no problem with that bit. My problem is that it sounds like 危险的作品。

[889 1,750]

I hear 危险的父亲呢.
 

The first part threw me off without the script because of the stress on 里.

Thanks

 

suddenly I don’t feel so bad about also hearing 危险

Five-second snippets are probably the most challenging test of listening comprehension because you don't have a chance to get accustomed to the speaker's accent and voice patterns.
