As an avid time waster, I spend a lot of hours at the office on Sporcle, which is a timed game website where users try and guess as many of a certain category within a specified time limit, like naming all the NFL teams in 4 minutes or all the US states in 6. I noticed the distinct lack of disc golf related quizzes, with the only available ones being half-hearted attempts at listing all the Innova discs that have ever been available.
Today I built a quiz that asks for any company that has manufactured a disc that has since been approved by the PDGA. It includes all manufacturers and is therefore not biased towards the big two. I was hoping people on here could test it out and give any suggestions as this is my first published attempt. You will be surprised at how many companies have actually made a disc in the last 40+ years.

Re: Sporcle Quiz
Just added the first disc each company produced to make it easier. Keep in mind there are a few randoms that have produced one or two discs ever.

Re: Sporcle Quiz
FYI, you put down Millenium instead of Millennium with two "n".
It was good one for me to practice spelling and knowing the disc companies as well.
Also its tricky to figuring out which companies for the Puppy disc. That's tricky one!! Its fun!!
Nice job and I will be sure to pass this around to friends (after you fix the spelling...)
