there are some inaccuracies with this quiz. sugarloaf mountain is accessible by gondola, not cable car. corcovado is accessible by cable car, however. favela is not a term specific to rio, but instead specific to all of brazil. also, carnaval is spelled with an a, not with an i, and isn't only held in rio.

I have a couple of things to comment on.

1. A gondola is considered a type of cable car system, since they can be aerial. For the sake of semantics I guess I'll add gondola in parenthesis, but I think most people would know what I'm referring to. For Corcovado, are you talking about the cog railway?

2. I have removed "rio" from the favela one so you don't think I'm only talking about the slums within Rio.

3. Carnaval was an accepted type-in when you took the quiz, but to an English speaker (which I would assume is the majority demographic for this quiz since it's in the English language) we know it as "Carnival".
