There are other smaller problems, but I will just point to a couple:
1. "Choose any artist and if it has enough songs presented, - " this implies that you call the artist "it". Artist is not "it". It is either "he" or "she", or "the artist".
Now, obviously you tried to use it in reference to the "game" from the previous sentence. But with the "artist" being in between, this does not work.
You need to re-phrase.
2. "You are given a random song to listen to and 7 variants of its name" - the first thing I thought that the song indeed may have 7 different names. Which it does not. What the Russian sentence says is that you are given 7 answers, and only one of them is correct.
PS> The other problems are smaller.
PPS> I would have a problem with the whole concept of #5, that is "we think you are a dishonest person, but feel free to try to prove otherwise".
I also have the problem with both Russian verbiage and its Russian translation.
Extremely offensive, both of them.
Even if you want to let a pesron know, that his results are too good to be true, there are other ways to phrase this.

morzh, thanks for corrections!
I agree with the second one. At first, I was going to write just "7 variants", but then I thought that is wasn't enough. "7 answers" is definitely better.
But I won't agree with the 1st one. I may be wrong, but the reason I chose "it" to indicate the "artist" was that it is not a real animate person who we talk about in this game, it is
his or
her image, or representation, that we use in the context of the game.
Anyway, if you offer some re-phrased variants, I think, Rodion will be glad, as it is him who needs to see whole sentences in good English.
And the phrase #5. I don't consider it extremely offensive in Russian, just a joke.
