The one sentence summaries (encoded as the "question", with the distribution name as the "answer") of various probability distributions here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_probability_distributions . When possible, I'd like to see a chart of the pdf for various common parameter distributions and guess what the distribution is. Reversing this, I'd like to be told what the distribution is, and be told a few (i.e., three) (sets of) parameters, and visualize what the pdf/cdf would look like. This would be especially useful if all of these charts were in the same format.
