Problem: In February 1916 the Germans attacked French defensive positions at the Battle of Verdun, lasting until December 1916. The Germans made initial gains, before French counter-attacks returned matters to near their starting point. Casualties were greater for the French, but the Germans bled heavily as well, with anywhere from 700,000 to 975,000 casualties suffered between the two combatants. Verdun became a symbol of French determination and self-sacrifice. The Battle of the Somme was an Anglo-French offensive of July to November 1916. The opening day of the offensive  was the bloodiest day in the history of the British Army, suffering 57,470 casualties, including 19,240 dead. The entire Somme offensive cost the British Army some 420,000 casualties. The French suffered another estimated 200,000 casualties and the Germans an estimated 500,000. Gun fire wasn't the only factor taking lives; the diseases that emerged in the trenches were a major killer on both sides. The living conditions made it so that countless diseases and infections occurred, such as trench foot, shell shock, blindness/burns from mustard gas, lice, trench fever, cooties  and the ‘Spanish Flu'.

Who suffered the most casualties in the battle of Somme?
Answer: Germans

Problem: Trying to snap a five-game skid, the Raiders flew to the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome for a Week 11 interconference duel with the Minnesota Vikings, as QB Daunte Culpepper would be getting the start against his former team. In the first quarter, Oakland trailed early as Vikings RB Chester Taylor managed to get a 10-yard TD run, along with a safety (due to Culpepper committing a penalty while in his own endzone).  The Raiders would get on the board as kicker Sebastian Janikowski managed to get a 42-yard field goal.  In the second quarter, Minnesota increased its lead with kicker Ryan Longwell getting a 30-yard field goal.  Afterwards, Oakland would take the lead as Culpepper completed a 10-yard TD pass to TE John Madsen, along with Janikowski kicking a 30-yard field goal.  The Vikings would answer with Taylor getting a 38-yard TD run.  Fortunately, the Raiders would tie the game heading into halftime as Janikowski kicked a 42-yard and a 49-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Minnesota regained the lead with Longwell kicking a 38-yard field goal for the only score of the period.  In the fourth quarter, the Vikings ended its scoring day with Taylor getting a 6-yard TD run.  Oakland tried to come back as Janikowski nailed a 52-yard field goal.  However, Minnesota would hold on for the win. With their sixth-straight loss, the Raiders fell to 2-8, securing the team's fifth consecutive non-winning season.

How many total field goals did Sebastian Janikowski get from more than 40 yards?
Answer: 4

Problem: The Easter Rising lasted from Easter Monday 24 April 1916 to Easter Saturday 29 April 1916. Annual commemorations, rather than taking place on 24-29 April, are typically based on the date of Easter, which is a moveable feast. For example, the annual military parade is on Easter Sunday; the date of coming into force of  the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 was symbolically chosen as Easter Monday  1949. The official programme of centenary events in 2016 climaxed from 25 March  to 2 April  with other events earlier and later in the year taking place on the calendrical anniversaries.

What happened last, the Easter Rising or the Republic of Ireland Act?
Answer: The Easter Rising

Problem: Hoping to rebound from their loss against the Steelers, the Titans went home for their Week 2 home opener against their AFC South foe, the Houston Texans.  Tennessee would strike first in the opening quarter as running back Chris Johnson got a 57-yard touchdown run.  The Texans would answer with quarterback Matt Schaub completing a 19-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Andre Johnson, yet the Titans would reply with quarterback Kerry Collins completing a 69-yard touchdown pass to Johnson.  Tennessee would add onto their lead in the second quarter as Collins completed an 8-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Nate Washington.  However, Houston took the lead as Schaub completed a 72-yard touchdown pass to Johnson and a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Jones, followed by a 38-yard field goal from kicker Kris Brown.  The Titans would close out the half as kicker Rob Bironas made a 40-yard field goal. In the third quarter, Tennessee would regain the lead as Johnson got a 91-yard touchdown run.  The Texans would tie the game again as Schaub completed a 1-yard touchdown pass to tight end Owen Daniels.  In the fourth quarter, Houston took the lead as Brown nailed a 23-yard field goal.  Afterwards, the Texans' defense prevented any attempt at an offensive rally.
