@acfusco Congratulations! 🥳 I saw a picture of the Washington Monument the other day, and I wanted to find out how many steps there are (to the top) inside it, but neither SIRI, Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia could help me.

@odd Google may not be your friend, but sometimes it finds stuff that isn't an ad. www.nps.gov/wamo/faqs...

@odd Thanks! The U.S. National Park Service has the info: "There are 896 steps from the ground level to the observation level at 500 feet. The stairs have been closed to the public since 1976." I went to the top sometime in the late 1970s, by elevator. Great view. www.nps.gov/wamo/faqs...

@acfusco Thanks! I didn’t think to look there. If I’m ever in the area, I’m going to check it out.

@Archimage I didn’t think to look there, but an obvious choice of good information now that I think about it.
