	When I couldn't think of the national anthem, I started to think jokingly, "Maybe it's just called 'Brazilian National Anthem'".

	Awesome quiz about an awesome country!

	As for the waterfalls: the usual English spelling is Iguassu. In Portuguese it's Iguaçu and in Spanish it's Iguazú. Although the falls are shared with Argentina, as this is a quiz about Brazil it would be better to show the Portuguese spelling as the answer (accepting the other two for entering). As far as I know, also in Portuguese the name was once Iguassu (hence the English form) but after a spelling reform it was changed to Iguaçu. (This is my 1,000th comment in Sporcle. Thanks to all who have read and voted them).

	Strange that the title for the national anthem would "Brazilian National Anthem". If I ruled the country, after looking at the lyrics, I would suggest the title "Beloved Homeland, Brazil"... in Portuguese, of course. P.S. I am now accepting nominations for ruler of Brazil...

	I'm totally going to start trying " national anthem" in every country quiz from now on. And as far as I know, the usual English spelling is indeed "Iguazu"—I spent a few days touring the falls a couple years ago, and don't recall ever seeing "Iguassu."

	I had no idea what the Brazilian National Anthem was. I felt really stupid after I clicked "give up."

	would be nice if for official name "republica federal do brazil" would be accepted.

	Ugh, I always forget there's an 's' at the end of 'Amazonas'. Great quiz.

	for the sake of increasing our sporcle scores, from now on, every country should follow the Brazilian way of naming their national anthems.

	@rservulo: the phrase "tongue-in-cheek" means someone is saying something facetiously. I was kidding.

	@adhair: to try "Argentine (Mexican, Colombian, Peruvian, etc.) national anthem" isn't a bad idea; most Latin American ones don't have a proper name. As for the falls, you're right: the form Iguassu (taken from an old Portuguese spelling) is becoming obsolete in English and, having to choose between the Spanish and the Portuguese names, Iguazu is favored instead of Iguaçu because it keeps the "z" sound without requiring the special character ç. @Dr_Nibbles: the official name is "República Federativa do Brasil" and you can't change that (in Portuguese) precisely because it's official. Of course, you can say that in English it's translated as "Federal Republic of Brazil" and you'll be perfectly right (I don't know well what is the difference between "federal" and "federative", supposing there is any).

	there isn't a national anthem for the Russia Country Quiz. I wonder why, it's a beautiful national anthem and how come on the South Africa quiz it's National Anthem of South Africa, why not Nkosi Sikeleli' iAfrika?. I know I am nitpicking but seriously

	@Roman: Sometimes I don't include the National Anthem because there is a better fact that I think is important to add to the quiz instead. Obviously, Russia has a lot of interesting facts and narrowing down 50 was tough. The national anthem for the most part in these quizzes, unless known world wide in the native language, will only accept the english translation. Official name however, will accept English as well as the common or official language of the country.

	That is the coolest name for a national anthem any country could have.

	johnmclean:	Apr 19th, 2011 at 00:16 GMT		4 points
	Should probably accept Cristo Redentor as well as Christ the Redeemer

	For "lowest point" I typed "Atlantic Ocean". This resulted in my answer populating the field for "Bordering Ocean" - but NOT for "Lowest point". I scratched my head wondering what part of Brazil would be lower than the ocean. Do they have a Death Valley or Dead Sea type place that's below sea level? Nope. When the timer ran out "Lowest Point" became filled in with "Atlantic Ocean". Huh?

	Thought Pele might have been a bonus. Most famous exponent of the worlds most popular sport?
