	schouw:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 05:55 GMT	26 points
	Got 3 in under 10 seconds...then no more.

	MovieDynamic:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 05:56 GMT	1 point
	Same.

	MathijsP:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 06:29 GMT	-1 points
	Dito.

	juusosieni:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 07:04 GMT	5 points
	I got 6.. Should I be happy or embarrased? That was surprisingly hard.

	I have been waiting for this quiz! I LOVE BRAZIL!!! I can't wait to be there for the World Cup and the Olympics! :)

	I have been waiting for this quiz too, although I only realized that when I saw it was published.

	beau99:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 09:29 GMT	1 point
	Got 5 of them. More than I thought I'd get, actually.

	Got the 11 largest. And nothing else. Before Sporcle, however, I probably would have gotten only three.

	ZeZapatiste:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 11:54 GMT	6 points
	I got 7 ... Football doesn't really help for that one !

	Denzil:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 12:26 GMT	6 points
	It does if you know the World Cup host cities :)

	Black_Hat_Guy:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 12:40 GMT	7 points
	18/20, and I'm half Brazilian. Hard to know which Rio and Sao Paulo suburbs are largest - depends on the source.

	malingre:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 14:39 GMT	9 points
	Don't worry... even I that am Brazillian could not get the 20 =/ I got just 18... and I don't know São Gonçalo ^^ i've been waiting a lot for this quiz just to know what people abroad know about Brazil, and as I thought they usually know only Rio (the most beautiful city), Brasilia (the capital) and São Paulo (the most important city) Well, at least I can see that the World Cup and the Olympic games are helping to make you know more about this wonderful country ;] if you get 10 cities it's a really great number ^^

	Cloark:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 15:32 GMT	2 points
	10/20 (all in the top 11) and I lived in Brazil for 2 years. Maybe if I hadn't spent almost the whole time in little tiny towns . . .

	dudemanbearpig:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 15:53 GMT	3 points
	I credit my having gotten Belem and Manaus to playing Amazon Trail.

	andrecb:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 17:19 GMT	0 points
	VIVA O BRASIL!

	bean:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 17:46 GMT	0 points

	tgillman:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 20:33 GMT	0 points
	Haha the big 3 only

	Victor2K:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 23:57 GMT	-1 points
	Only forgot São Luís... And only five of them aren't state capitals

	Djibouti:	Oct 17th, 2009 at 23:58 GMT	6 points
	You'd think Ipanema would be larger what with all the tall and tan and young and lovely girls they have that go walking.

	Haha, huge difference between 3rd and 4th... I thought it was Coritiba as well, but that might just be the football team?

	Johnny:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 04:02 GMT	-1 points
	15/20 Quite easy for brazilians

	fatuch:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 23:47 GMT	2 points

	vic_kun:	Oct 27th, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	-2 points
	Great quiz 8D, but the right spellings are "Maceió" and "Brasília", not "Maceio" and "Brasilia".

	Amsterdan:	Oct 31st, 2009 at 00:51 GMT	0 points
	I live in Brazil, but i get 17/20 i miss maceio,duque de caxias and another one. BRAZIL!

	if you guys like brazilian quizzes, try this one http://www.sporcle.com/games/andrecb/brazilian_ab

	cynicallynaive:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 05:19 GMT	1 point
	uggh, I thought my Latin American Studies major would pay off here but still only got 12/20. I actually remembered smaller state capitals like Florianópolis and Cuiabá and then blanked on Fortaleza, Natal, and São Luís.

	cynicallynaive:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 05:40 GMT	1 point
	@vic_kun: Then that must apply to São Luís and São Paulo, right? But Sporcle is primarily an English-speaking site, and most of the quiz answers with accents are missing them. Surely you don't expect everyone answering to type in the accents? You might not have anyone come back to take another quiz about non-English speaking countries!

	I'm Brazilian, nice quiz, but I just think some of those cities doesn't make a lot of sense...Sao Gonçalo, Nova Iguaçu...ok..important ones but where's Vitoria, Palmas, Florianopolis? Guarulhos? why? haha..I like Campinas, that's my city :)

	SharksTerritory:	May 3rd, 2010 at 05:02 GMT	1 point
	10/20 and proud of it! Tough game.

	nadyaa:	Jul 7th, 2010 at 00:53 GMT	1 point
	I got 8! I got Curitiba (my sister is from there) and Sao Luis on the other side :) But, embarrassingly enough, I missed Brasilia. XD

	tulliuscicero:	Oct 24th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	2 points
	Frickin' suburbs!

	lucia:	Nov 4th, 2010 at 02:21 GMT	1 point
	Cant believe i forgot Natal! Malauand, vitoria, palmas and florianopolis are not really big cities, so its not a surprise they are not on the list

	Bogeiman:	Nov 30th, 2010 at 16:06 GMT	1 point
	I knew Recife and Salvador but not any others. I got 7

	jslewitz:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 03:23 GMT	1 point
	Amazon Trail, coming through in the clutch.

	zelani:	Mar 9th, 2011 at 01:58 GMT	1 point
	Ipanema is a beach, not a city. =)
