sporclitis

A common condition among veteran quiz takers on Sporcle wherein one will remember some very obscure answers but overlook at least one obvious one.

If taking a "list the countries of South America" quiz, and you remember Suriname but somehow can't come up with Brazil, you've just had a bout of Sporclitis.
