I'll start off with the answer for yesterday. The reason the monument is multicolored is because it was built in 2 parts, mostly 1848-1856 and 1876-1884. The original designers were not able to finish because they lacked funding. Not only that, but the civil war started breaking out during the building process.

So today's question. It is a bit random, but a bit of random presidential trivia is better than none at all. Out of all 44 of our presidents, many share the same last names. So for my daily question, I ask: How many sets of presidents share a last name, and which names are they?
