Question:
At the start of 1767, the Mysore army unsuccessfully stormed the Kingdom of Travancore  from the north. In 1767, the whole of Malabar again revolted Mysore's army of 4,000 men, who were defeated by 2,000 Kottayam Nairs in Northern Malabar. All baggage, arms and ammunition of army was looted by the Nair rebels. Mysorean garrisons were trapped by Nair rebels who seized the countryside and ambushed Mysore convoys and communications with great success. The following year, the English East India Company, under Captain Thomas Henry, sieged the Sultan Bathery Fort  to interrupt the supply of arms to Arakkal Kingdom, with a promised help from local kingdoms. But the British were forced to retreat in the retaliation. Mysore army retreated from Malabar temporarily in 1768, successfully crushing the uprisings and building the strategic Palakkad Fort. The authority over Kolathunad was now given to the Arakkal Kingdom. Skirmishes between Arakkal and the Company continued, and in 1770, the Company reclaimed Randattara. In 1773, Mysore forces under Said Saheb and Srinivasarao marched to Malabar through the Thamarassery Pass, since the Hindu rulers had broke the earlier treaties on paying tributes. So, again in the Malabar came under the direct Mysore authority.

What happened first: the Company reclaimed Randattara or broke the earlier treaties?

Answer:
the Company reclaimed Randattara


Question:
The Seahawks defeated the Rams 14-9 in a Monday Night Football thriller. The Rams were successful at limiting the Seahawks offense, holding running back Marshawn Lynch to a season low of only 23 yards and sacking quarterback Russell Wilson seven times. After holding the Rams to a field goal in the first quarter, the Seahawks went ahead with a 2-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate. The Rams responded in the third quarter with another field goal, cutting down the Seahawks' lead to 1. After an incomplete pass to Jermaine Kearse on the first play of the next drive, Wilson threw an 80-yard touchdown to Golden Tate. It was the longest play of either player's career. On his way towards the end zone, Tate turned and sarcastically waved towards Rams safety Rodney McLeod. Though the touchdown would count, the Seahawks would be penalized for taunting during the kickoff. Carroll chastised Tate after the penalty occurred, and Tate was fined $7,875 after the game. After the Seahawks allowed an additional Rams field goal, the game came down to the final drive. The Rams, in possession of the ball with 5:42 left in the game, managed to drive the ball all the way to the 6 yard line with less than 1:20 left on the clock. A missed throw from Rams quarterback Kellen Clemens and a 4-yard run from Rams running back Daryl Richardson allowed the Rams a 3rd and Goal at the 2-yard line, but a defensive offsides call on Seahawks defensive end Chris Clemons cut the distance in half. The Seahawks stopped an additional run from Richardson, and Rams head coach Jeff Fisher called a timeout with only 4 seconds left in the game. Seahawks cornerback Brandon Browner successfully defended Clemens's final pass towards Brian Quick, sealing the Seahawks victory and bringing their record to 7-1.

Who caught the longest touchdown reception of the game?

Answer:
Golden Tate


Question:
Coming off their home win over the Falcons, the Rams flew to Paul Brown Stadium for a Week 14 interconference duel with the Cincinnati Bengals.  With QB Marc Bulger out with a concussion and veteran back-up QB Gus Frerotte out with a shoulder injury, rookie QB Brock Berlin got his first NFL start. In the first quarter, St. Louis trailed early as Bengals RB Rudi Johnson got a 1-yard TD run for the only score of the period.  In the second quarter, the Rams continued to trail as kicker Shayne Graham gave Cincinnati a 27-yard field goal for the only score of the period. In the third quarter, St. Louis got on the board as CB Fakhir Brown returned an interception 36&#160;yards for a touchdown, yet the Bengals responded with Graham kicking a 38-yard and a 32-yard field goal.  In the fourth quarter, the Rams tried to come back as kicker Jeff Wilkins managed to get a 50-yard field goal.  However, Cincinnati sealed the win with Graham nailing a 46-yard field goal. This would also be the 5th time this year that the Rams were held to 10 or fewer points. On a positive note, WR Torry Holt went over 1,000 receiving yards for the eighth-straight year.

How many 30+ yard field goals did Graham make in the third quarter?

Answer:
2


Question:
In early April 1521, the royalist side moved to combine their armies and threaten Torrelobatón.  The Constable of Castile moved his troops  southwest from Burgos to meet with the Admiral's forces near Tordesillas.  Meanwhile, the comuneros reinforced their troops at Torrelobatón, which was far less secure than the comuneros preferred.  Their forces were suffering from desertions, and the presence of royalist artillery would make Torrelobatón's castle vulnerable.  Juan de Padilla considered withdrawing to Toro to seek reinforcements in early April, but wavered.  He delayed his decision until the early hours of April 23, losing considerable time and allowing the royalists to unite their forces in Peñaflor. The combined royalist army pursued the comuneros. Again, the royalists had a strong advantage in cavalry, with their army consisting of 6,000 infantry and 2,400 cavalry against Padilla's 7,000 infantry and 400 cavalry.  Heavy rain slowed Padilla's infantry more than the royalist cavalry and rendered the primitive firearms of the rebels' 1,000 arquebusiers nearly useless.  Padilla hoped to reach the relative safety of Toro and the heights of Vega de Valdetronco, but his infantry was too slow.  He gave battle with the harrying royalist cavalry at the town of Villalar.  The cavalry charges scattered the rebel ranks, and the battle became a slaughter.  There were an estimated 500-1,000 rebel casualties and many desertions. The three most important leaders of the rebellion were captured: Juan de Padilla, Juan Bravo, and Francisco Maldonado.  They were beheaded the next morning in the Plaza of Villalar, with a large portion of the royalist nobility present.  The remains of the rebel army at Villalar fragmented, with some attempting to join Acuña's army near Toledo and others deserting.  The rebellion had been struck a crippling blow.

How many more cavalry did the royalists have than Padilla?

Answer:
2000
