Q: In 1712, Tordenskjold succeeded in burning 80 Swedish naval cruisers, which played a large part in the outcome of the Great Nordic War . Since Scandinavia now was at peace, the navy focused its resources on other parts of the world, partaking in the colonisation of Africa and the Caribbean. A permanent naval presence of shifting strength was maintained in the Mediterranean Sea - protecting Danish-Norwegian interests in the region - mainly commerces against piracy. The Danish Mediterranean Squadron had numerous minor engagements with The Barbary States during the 1700s and 1800s. On several occasions these hostilities escalated to substantial actions. Some of the more notable can be said to be: the Mediterranean Squadron's bombardment of Algiers in 1770 under the command of contreadmiral Frederik Christian Kaas; the then captain, and future Privy Councillor, Steen Andersen Bille's action at Tripoli in 1797; and commander Hans Georg Garde in a joint Scandinavian expedition in 1844 - which effectively ended the Barbary states' attacks on Scandinavian merchants in the region. A pact of neutrality was made between Denmark  and Sweden, providing a solid basis for commercial expansion.
Who provided the naval presence that protected Danish-Norwegian interests in the Mediterranean Sea?
A: Scandinavia

Q: The 49ers' fifteenth game was an NFC West rivalry rematch against the Rams at Edward Jones Dome. The 49ers struggled in the first quarter when Steven Jackson got a 1-yard TD run, followed by QB Troy Smith getting sacked in the endzone by DE James Hall for a safety. They got back in the game after Ted Ginn returned a punt 78 yards for a touchdown, but fell further behind after kicker Josh Brown nailed a 43-yard field goal. They took the lead with Smith completing a 60-yard TD pass to WR Michael Crabtree, but fell behind again as Brown got a 30-yard field goal, followed by QB Sam Bradford throwing a 3-yard TD pass to WR Laurent Robinson. The 49ers tried to cut this lead with kicker Jeff Reed making a 47-yard field goal, but the Rams pulled away with Brown hitting a 28-yard field goal. With the loss, the 49ers fell to 5-10, eliminating them from post-season contention for the eighth consecutive season. As a result of this and a sideline argument during the game, Singletary was fired as head coach later that night.
Which player scored the first touchdown of the game?
A: Steven Jackson

Q: Geographic knowledge of the Canary islands coalesced with these expeditions.  La Gomera and El Hierro are depicted in the 1367 portolan of the brothers Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano.   The Catalan Atlas of 1375  shows the Canaries almost completely and accurately mapped . The eleven islands are named in the Catalan Atlas  as Graciosa ,laregranza , rocho , Insula de lanzaroto maloxelo , insula de li vegi marin , forteventura , Insula de Canaria , Insula del infernio , insula de gomera , insula de lo fero .  The name 'tenerefiz' is first given alongside 'Infierno' in the 1385 Libro del Conoscimiento. During the 1370s, when Portugal and Castile were engaged in dynastic wars following the assassination of Peter I of Castile, Portuguese and Castilian privateers were dispatched against each other, several of which made detours to the Canary islands for shelter or slave-raiding jaunts.  Ignoring the 1344 bull, Ferdinand I of Portugal granted  the islands of Lanzarote and La Gomera to the adventurer 'Lançarote  da Franquia' .  This Lanzarote made an attempt to seize the islands and is reported to have engaged in fighting with "Guanches and Castilians" there. There are several other expeditions, since determined to be apocryphal.  Among those deemed purely legendary are:
How many islands were granted to Lançarote da Franquia by Ferdinand I of Portugal?
A:
2
