Problem: After a gradual 5-year recovery to an intraday high of 2,239.51 on October 31, 2007, the highest reached since February 16, 2001, the index corrected below the 2,000 level in early 2008 amid the Late-2000s recession, the United States housing bubble and the Financial crisis of 2007-2010. Panic focusing on the failure of the investment banking industry culminated in a loss of more than 10% on September 29, 2008, subsequently plunging the index firmly into bear market territory. The NASDAQ-100, with much of the broader market, experienced a Limit down open on October 24 and reached a 6-year intraday low of 1,018 on November 20, 2008.

What three events occurred as the index corrected?
Answer: Late-2000s recession

Problem: Trying to build on their road win over the Eagles, the Titans went home for a Week 12 fight with the New York Giants.  In the first quarter, Tennessee trailed early as QB Eli Manning completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Plaxico Burress for the only score of the period.  In the second quarter, Giants RB Brandon Jacobs got a 10-yard and 4-yard TD run to give the Giants a seemingly comfy 21-0 halftime.  After a scoreless third quarter, the Titans' improbable comeback began in the fourth quarter with 10 minutes remaining.  QB Vince Young completed a TD pass to TE Bo Scaife.  Afterwards, Young would follow it up with a 1-yard TD run.  The key play of the game came on a 4th and 10 from Tennessee's 24-yard line, when Giants DE Mathias Kiwanuka actually had Young in his grasp, but he let go because he was afraid that he would get a Roughing the Passer penalty.  It allowed Young to dash away for the first down.  Four plays later, he would complete a 14-yard TD pass to WR Brandon Jones.  Afterwards, after Manning got intercepted by CB Pacman Jones (who intercepted Manning earlier in the game), it would lead to the game-winning field goal, as kicker Rob Bironas nailed it from 49 yards out.  With the win, the Titans improved to 4-7.

Which team scored the most in the first quarter?
Answer: Tennessee trailed early

Problem: As of 2008, the French national institute of statistics INSEE estimated that 11.8 million foreign-born immigrants and their direct descendants (limited to second-generation born in France) lived in France representing 19% of the countrys population. More than 5.5 million are of European origin and about 4 million of Maghrebis origin (20% of Algerian origin and 15% of Moroccan or Tunisian origin). Immigrants aged 18 to 50 count for 2.7 million (10% of population age 18–50) and 5 million for all ages (8% of population). The second-generation immigrants aged 18 to 50 make up 3.1 million (12% of 18–50) and 6.5 million for all ages (11% of population). Without considering citizenship at birth, people not born in metropolitan France and their direct descendants made up 30% of the population aged 18–50 in metropolitan France as of 2008.

Of the foreign-born immigrants and their direct descendants living in France, are more if European origin, or Maghrebis origin?

Problem: Hoping to rebound from their home loss to the Eagles, the Vikings stayed at home and played a Week 9 interconference game against the San Diego Chargers. The two teams were level by the end of the first quarter, following 1-yard touchdown runs from both Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson and the Vikings' Adrian Peterson. The second quarter then went scoreless until the very last play of the half, when kicker Ryan Longwell came up short on a 57-yard field goal attempt, which Antonio Cromartie returned 109&#160;yards for a touchdown, the longest possible play in the game. The Vikings scored a pair of long touchdowns in the third quarter, as Peterson scored on a 64-yard run, followed by a 40-yard pass from Brooks Bollinger to Sidney Rice. The Chargers narrowed the Vikings' lead to four points in the fourth quarter on a 36-yard field goal by Nate Kaeding, but another long touchdown run of 46 yards from Peterson and a 2-yard score from fellow running back Chester Taylor sealed a 35-17 win for the Vikings. Peterson had 30 carries for 296 rushing yards, setting a new single-game league record, along with three touchdowns. Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson (6/12 for 63 yards) started the game, but was concussed in the second quarter and replaced by Brooks Bollinger.

How many total yards were Peterson's touchdowns combined?
Answer:
111
