What is D.C.’s motto? Any idea who’s always riding a horse in Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park? More importantly, who doesn’t love a good online quiz? They are spectacular for passing the time as the hours creep and crawl towards the weekend.

Today’s D.C. edition of Daily Candy brings us a little “How much do you know about D.C.?” quiz. It’s a mix of classic questions (when was D.C.’s flag adopted?) and ones that are slightly more obscure, like the one about the horse-rider in Meridian Park.

Courtesy of DCist’s extensive Marion Barry coverage, we are beyond familiar with the answer to final question #11: What did Marion Barry exclaim upon being arrested the first time? Another favorite from Daily Candy is #6:

Name the movies filmed at the following locations:
a) St. Elizabeth’s Hospital
b) Ben’s Chili Bowl
c) The Northumberland at 2039 New Hampshire Avenue

There was a movie filmed at Ben’s Chili Bowl?!?

Oh, and Daily Candy claims that Googling the answers is “cheating,” and they’ll be posting the answers tomorrow. If you have any rock-out high scores, or any other fun D.C. trivia, comment away.
