	You should do separate quizzes for splinter groups and subgroups. Ashkenazim and Sephardim are ethnic groups. Also, you can't consider the Orthodox as a group that "split off" due to something that happened in 19th century Germany. Technically, there have been Orthodox Jews for thousands of years.

	@folio1701: Agreed on Ashkenazim/Sepharadim, but Orthodox count as much as the Rabbanites, Pharisees, and Judeans as those from whom the parallel group broke off.

	This quiz makes no sense at all. Ashkenazim and Sefardim can't be splinter groups, because most Jews are one or the other, so there's nothing to splinter off from. Also, the Orthodoz was the original group. the real splinter groups were the Reform congregations of the time. Also, the Pharisees fall under the same category, with the real splinter group being the Hellenites/mityavnim.Also, you have the same question twice, with different answers. The first one is correct- however, the second one is merely the category that everyone else fell into. More accurate would be to list the Mussar movement started by Rabbi Yisrael Salanter.
