This task involves creating questions from a given passage that involve some kind of complex reasoning (including numerical reasoning). 
The generated questions must require looking at more than one part of the passage to answer. Try to use a variety of reasoning types in your questions (some of the sample reasoning types are illustrated in the 'positive examples' field) and also have a variety of answer types (spans, numbers, dates). A span is a continuous phrase taken directly from the passage or question. In such questions, the answer spans are recommended to be five words. Questions with answer type "number", are expected to start with "How many". For instance, "How long did an event last?" can be phrased as "How many years did an event last?". To increase diversity, try to create more questions for which the answer will be multiple spans. Please create questions that require AT LEAST 2 arithmetic operations as illustrated in the 'positive examples' field. You are encouraged to try DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS of operations and not just limit to the combinations shown in those examples. The more challenging questions you create, the better it is.

Q: Passage: Pope Julius II planned far more for St Peters than Nicholas Vs program of repair or modification. Julius was at that time planning his own tomb, which was to be designed and adorned with sculpture by Michelangelo and placed within St Peters.  In 1505 Julius made a decision to demolish the ancient basilica and replace it with a monumental structure to house his enormous tomb and "aggrandize himself in the popular imagination".  A competition was held, and a number of the designs have survived at the Uffizi Gallery. A succession of popes and architects followed in the next 120 years, their combined efforts resulting in the present building. The scheme begun by Julius II continued through the reigns of Pope Leo X (1513–1521), Pope Hadrian VI (1522–1523). Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), Pope Paul III (1534–1549), Pope Julius III (1550–1555), Pope Marcellus II (1555), Pope Paul IV (1555–1559), Pope Pius IV (1559–1565), Pope Pius V (saint) (1565–1572), Pope Gregory XIII (1572–1585), Pope Sixtus V (1585–1590), Pope Urban VII (1590), Pope Gregory XIV (1590–1591), Pope Innocent IX (1591), Pope Clement VIII (1592–1605), Pope Leo XI (1605), Pope Paul V (1605–1621), Pope Gregory XV (1621–1623), Pope Urban VIII (1623–1644) and Pope Innocent X (1644–1655).

A: How many more years did Pope Gregory XV reign than Pope Leo XI?

Q: Passage: Still trying to acquire their first win of the season, the Bengals flew to Reliant Stadium for a Week 8 duel with the Houston Texans.  In the first quarter, Cincinnati's struggles continued as Texans WR Jacoby Jones returned a punt 73 yards for a touchdown.  The Bengals responded with kicker Shayne Graham getting a 43-yard field goal.  In the second quarter, Houston increased its lead as QB Matt Schaub completed a 6-yard TD pass to WR David Anderson.  Cincinnati closed out the half with Graham nailing a 32-yard field goal. In the third quarter, the Texans began to pull away as Schaub completed a 7-yard and a 39-yard TD pass to WR Kevin Walter.  In the fourth quarter, Houston sealed the win with RB Steve Slaton getting a 20-yard TD run. With yet another loss, the Bengals would fall to 0-8 and start a season with such a record for the first time since 1994.

A: How many losses did the Bengals start this game with?

Q: Passage: Growth continued in the first years of the EU membership. The credit portion of the Financial crisis of 2007-2010 did not affect the Czech Republic much, mostly due to its stable banking sector which has learned its lessons during a smaller crisis in the late 1990s and became much more cautious. As a fraction of the GDP, the Czech public debt is among the smallest ones in Central and Eastern Europe. Moreover, unlike many other post-communist countries, an overwhelming majority of the household debt - over 99% - is denominated in the local Czech currency. That's why the country wasn't affected by the shrunken money supply in the U.S. dollars. However, as a large exporter, the economy was sensitive to the decrease of the demand in Germany and other trading partners. In the middle of 2009, the annual drop of the GDP for 2009 was estimated around 3% or 4.3%, a relatively modest decrease. The impact of the economic crisis may have been limited by the existence of the national currency that temporarily weakened in H1 of 2009, simplifying the life of the exporters.

A:
Did the GDP drop or rise?
