Answer 4

Answer 9

Good for you!  That's what the Trivia category is all about.  I did wonder about 50 States on Lincoln's Memorial, though.  There weren't that many during his lifetime and memorials (other than those to the fallen of an ongoing organization such as a service)  and headstones tend not to be updated.
