I looked up Campus Martius on wikipedia after taking the quiz. As best I
can tell, it hasn't been park-like (i.e. open space with lots of
greenery) for at least 1800 years, probably longer.

Yeah. This came up on a protest in the original game, so I already
had to check it out. In addition, the original version of the
question just said "what city", so I then had to accept Montreal,
which also has a Champ-de-Mars, and would've had to accept Detroit,
where the Campus Martius *is* a park, if anyone had given it and
made a protest.

Many answered Times New Roman which, as I pointed out, is correct for
Office 2003 and earlier, and you did not specify the version. Arial is
also a default font in Office 2003 for the Heading styles, so it could
be construed to be correct as well, although that would be to bend the
question a bit. But I would suggest that Times New Roman should be accepted.
