In lieu of our usual "20 Questions" feature in which we ask one person 20 questions, recently Richmond.com has been asking 20 people one question.

This week we wanted to know, could the average Richmonder identify all six of the monuments on Monument Avenue? After all, Monument Avenue is one of Richmond's best-known landmarks. And any Richmonder worth his salt should be able to rattle off all six of these historic and important local figures … right?

Apparently not.

Each day dozens of students, professors, residents and office workers pass Richmond.com's Fan District office, just a few blocks away from J.E.B. Stuart, the third least recognized monument on Monument Ave. So Richmond.com staffers stood in front of our building at lunchtime one day and asked the question, "How many monuments on Monument Avenue can you name?"

The answer was a resounding, way fewer than six. From the absurd, with answers like George Jefferson, to the implausible, like a monument to Ulysses S. Grant (as though any Confederate sympathizer would ever allow it) we received an array of responses … only a few of which were right.

Ironically, the vast majority of respondents knew the Arthur Ashe monument even though Monument Avenue was started as a memorial to Confederate Virginian Civil War participants. Even more ironic, only one person guessed (correctly) that Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, had his own monument.

For the record, in order of east to west, the monuments are: J.E.B. Stuart, Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson, Matthew Fontaine Maury (that's the globe one) and Arthur Ashe.

But let's hear what our passerbys had to say:
