This task involves annotating the answer type to a given question that involve some kind of complex reasoning (including numerical reasoning). Note that the questions require looking at more than one part of the passage to answer. There are 3 possible answer types (i) spans, (ii) numbers and (iii) dates. If the answer can be found in the passage, label it as "span". If the answer is a number, label as "number". Similarly, label "date" if you think the answer to the given question is a date.

Passage: The season started about as well as it could have, as the Washington Redskins started the season 6–2, with their two losses coming by a combined 11 points to the 2008 New York Giants season and 2008 St. Louis Rams season. Furthermore, Redskins star Clinton Portis led the NFL in rushing yards and Jason Campbell was just 40 pass attempts away from breaking Bernie Kosars record of consecutive passes to start the season without an interception. However, things turned for the worse on the eve of the United States presidential election, 2008, when they were routed 23–6 by the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers season and Clinton Portis injuries finally caught up to him. The Redskins continued to struggle, falling all the way to 7–7, with their only win during that six-week period being a 3-point victory of the then-2–8 2008 Seattle Seahawks season, who would finish the season 4-12. The Redskins managed to upset the 2008 Philadelphia Eagles season in Week 16, but were eliminated from playoff contention after the 2008 Atlanta Falcons season defeated the 2008 Minnesota Vikings season 24–17 that same week. The Redskins lost the final game of the season 27–24 to the 2008 San Francisco 49ers season, despite having a 17–7 lead at halftime, losing on a Joe Nedney field goal as time expired.
Question: How many points did the Vikings lose by against the Falcons?

Passage: More than 5,000 US troops of General John J. Pershing's forces, including elements of the 7th Cavalry and the African-American U.S. 10th Cavalry Regiment, entered Mexico in hot pursuit of Villa. The campaign consisted primarily of dozens of minor skirmishes with small bands of insurgents. Gen. Pershing failed to catch up to Villa. On 21 June 1916, two troops of the 10th, totaling 92 troopers, attacked Mexican Federal Army troops in an engagement in the Battle of Carrizal, Chihuahua. 12 US troops were killed and 23 taken prisoner; 45 Federales were casualties, including the Mexican general Gomez. The engagement nearly precipitated open war with the Mexican government , but both governments immediately moved to lessen tensions and open negotiations for US withdrawal, preventing war. The prisoners were repatriated at El Paso, Texas by the Carrancista government.
Question: Were more American troops killed or taken prisoner?
