PROBLEM: Passage: Hoping to rebound from their road loss to the Vikings, the Texans went home for a Week 10 duel with the Baltimore Ravens.  Both teams were supposed to play each other in Week 2, but Hurricane Ike forced them to reschedule their game to this week. With QB Matt Schaub out with an injury, back-up QB Sage Rosenfels was given the start. In the first quarter, Houston trailed early as Ravens QB Joe Flacco completed a 43-yard TD pass to WR Yamon Figurs.  In the second quarter, the Texans responded with kicker Kris Brown getting a 23-yard field goal.  Baltimore would answer on a Houston blunder, as rookie OT Duane Brown committed a holding penalty in his own endzone, giving the Ravens a safety.  Baltimore added onto their lead as kicker Steven Hauschka got a 54-yard field goal.  The Texans closed out the half with Brown nailing a 48-yard field goal. In the third quarter, the Ravens increased their lead as RB Willis McGahee got a 1-yard TD run.  Houston responded as Rosenfels completed a 60-yard TD pass to WR Kevin Walter.  However, in the fourth quarter, Baltimore greatly pulled away as Flacco completed a 1-yard TD pass to TE Todd Heap (with a 2-point conversion pass to WR Derrick Mason), QB Troy Smith completed a 14-yard TD pass to Heap, and McGahee getting a 4-yard TD run.

PROBLEM: Passage: The government of Portuguese India started in 1505, six years after the discovery of the sea route to India by Vasco da Gama, with the nomination of the first Viceroy Francisco de Almeida, then settled at Kochi. Until 1752, the name "India" included all Portuguese possessions in the Indian Ocean, from southern Africa to Southeast Asia, governed - either by a Viceroy or Governor - from its headquarters, established in Goa since 1510. In 1752 Portuguese Mozambique got its own government and in 1844 the Portuguese Government of India stopped administering the territory of Portuguese Macau, Solor and Portuguese Timor, seeing itself thus confined to a reduced territorial entity in Malabar: Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli. Portuguese control ceased in the last two enclaves in 1954, and finally ceased in the remaining three pockets in 1961, when they were occupied by the Republic of India . This ended four and a half centuries of Portuguese rule in parts—thought tiny—of India. It may be noted that during the term of the monarchy, the title of the head of the Portuguese government in India ranged from "Governor" to "Viceroy". The title of viceroy would only be assigned to members of the nobility; It was formally terminated in 1774, although it has later been given sporadically to be decisively ended after 1835), as shown below.
Question: When did Vasco da Gama discover the sea route to India?
