good quiz. but why is 'hon hai' accepted in one list but not the other? and i would accept acronyms 'pla' for people's liberation army, and 'nhs' for national health service.

USPS is accepted. I'll fix the inconsistency for Hon Hai, sorry about that, and I'll consider your other two suggestions as well. Thanks for the input. :)

I just tried usps myself and it worked. I'm aware of the problem of the answers being covered but the clues I think are visible, aren't they?

Most of these answers are really easy if you just guess... even if you never heard of the answers before.

That's the problem. They seem TOO obvious! "Chinese Army? No, must be something harder." We like to make things difficult for ourselves.

On my screen, the second box for the Fortune ranking answers was hidden by the "New and Popular Quizzes" box. I couldn't see it until the time was up and I could scroll down for the answers.

I just discovered the "total width" box in the quiz editor. This problem should be fixed now.

Forbes does not seem to realize that U.S. Postal Service workers are government employees. The sad, sad, state of American print journalism.
