We're away today on a reporting assignment; back to normal tomorrow. In the meantime, here's a moderately difficult presidential trivia quiz. We'll announce the answers somtime soon, but if you know them, write us at opinionjournal@wsj.com. The first reader to get all 10 right wins a year's subscription to WSJ.com (and a mention in the column). If you need help, try "Presidential Leadership: Rating the Best and the Worst in the White House," which is avilable from the OpinionJournal bookstore.

Grant, in Grant's tomb?
I thought it was notable which presidents were survived by one or more parents. Kennedy was the only one survuved by both. I think Polk's mother and Garfield's father (or vice-versa) survived them.
I think that's in NYC.
Ping to self.
survuved = survived
I'm getting lazy about that spell-check . . .
That's in New York. :)
There are a few in Arlington, but yes, that's Virginia. It's a question I remember from an old Trivial Pursuit game, and it really can get people scratching their heads.
#6 is annoying me, though. I **should** get this one. Goldwater is the fly in the ointment. Grrrr.
Bump for later.
You have to be kidding me....That one's obvious.
No, wait. That's not it. LOL
Wilson - his tomb is in the National Cathedral. (I go there a lot)
Therefore, it's whichever Pres was born in late November. Which I don't have a clue about because Presidential birthdays aren't of much interest.
George Washington is NOT the answer!
Yep! He and Edith are right in the nave. Good job.
I thought for a moment that it was 'carrying the state in which the nominee in question went to college', but that's not it, surely, because Lincoln never attended college (and I don't think Bryan did, either).
I googled William Jennings Bryant. Found out he was a 3 time Democratic Party nominee.

The question doesn't say the birthday is on a Friday every year. That would be impossible, anyway. Nobody's b-day is weekday-dependent. I'm going with the 7/4 or 12/25 theory.
