Question: what happened when Barnes and Noble tried to gain marketshare in ebooks?

Still, the company’s struggles are probably far from over. Barnes & Noble has been battered by Amazon, its powerful online rival, and has incurred big financial losses from its largely failed attempt to carve out territory in the e-book space with the Nook. While the company posted lower losses in its Nook division in the most recent quarter, sales were still disappointing, as the Nook segment tumbled 31.9 percent to $43.5 million, primarily because of lower digital content sales. The chain has closed more than 70 stores around the country in the last five years, and plans to close 10 more in the coming year.

Question: What weakened engine power in the Mexican Grand Prix?

“The factory teams fear and know that we would be faster than them,” said Dietrich Mateschitz, the billionaire founder and director of the Red Bull energy drink company in Austria that owns the team. Thanks to their superior design, the Red Bull cars have excelled this season whenever engine power was less import than aerodynamics and the chassis. On a wet track during the first part of the U.S. Grand Prix last month, for example, the Red Bulls led the race. At the Mexican Grand Prix on Nov. 1, in high-altitude conditions that weakened engine power, the Red Bulls again emerged stronger.

Question: In what year was the law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case published?

“In the Microsoft case, if they’d just waited a while, the problems they thought they saw would have disappeared because technology, consumer behavior and the market demand changed enough to correct those problems,” said Geoffrey A. Manne, executive director of the International Center for Law and Economics, a policy research organization that has received funding from technology companies including, in the past, Google. In a 2013 law review article comparing the antitrust pursuit against Google to the Microsoft case, Mr. Manne was more succinct: “Microsoft’s market position was unassailable ... until it wasn’t.”

Question: Where is One Grand bookstore located?

On a recent Sunday afternoon, the journalist and editor Aaron Hicklin was standing among some still-empty shelves in his newly completed bookstore, One Grand, in a former mercantile building in the town of Narrowsburg, New York. In less than one week, he would open the doors to the shop, but at the moment he was still fretfully awaiting the final shipments of his stock. “I’ll be honest, I am really surprised by how many books you need to fill a space,” Hicklin said. “I have about a thousand in here, but you’d never know it. I’ve got to fill these damn shelves!”

Question: What are two famous American brewing cities?

And we can’t neglect good old American lager, the beer that made Milwaukee, St. Louis and so many other brewing centers famous. My ballpark concession would absolutely require a couple of good lagers, even if this style has been denatured by big brewers, who have used adjuncts to malted barley, like rice and corn, to create so banal a product it can only be enjoyed icy cold, bottle to forehead in the brutal heat. To the endlessly creative American craft brewer, plain old lager may not seem particularly exciting. Decades ago, with so many great styles of beer left moribund by industrial brewers, craft brewers had compelling reasons to concentrate elsewhere. But little by little, American craft brewers have now taken up the challenge.

Question: What natural resource was a the heart of Brazil's economic strategy?

In the last decade, Brazil seemed to be on the verge of the kind of sustainable economic boom that its leaders had predicted for years. Ms. Rousseff’s predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, had boldly predicted Brazil would rise to greatness in the 21st century, a forecast that seemed entirely plausible when, in 2010, the country’s economy expanded at the rate of 7.5 percent, its greatest performance in 24 years. Brazil, along with China, India and Russia, was regarded as among the world’s most promising emerging markets. Oil was central to Brazil’s strategy, and that gave Petrobras a leading role in the nation’s growing influence — and pride of place. At one time it was the sixth-largest company in the world by market capitalization and accounted for roughly 10 percent of Brazil’s gross domestic product. For perspective, Apple, which has twice Petrobras’s peak market cap, represents 0.5 percent of the United States’ gross domestic product.

Question: Where did Kim Ki-Bum post a floral pattern from Ms. Bedford's book?

Ms. Basford has become something of a literary celebrity in South Korea, where “Secret Garden” has sold more than 430,000 copies, she says. The craze was kicked off in part, it seems, by a Korean pop star, Kim Ki-bum, who posted a delicately colored-in floral pattern from Ms. Basford’s book on Instagram, where he has 1.8 million followers. Part of the apparent appeal is the tactile, interactive nature of the books, which offer respite to the screen-weary. “People are really excited to do something analog and creative, at a time when we’re all so overwhelmed by screens and the Internet,” she said. “And coloring is not as scary as a blank sheet of paper or canvas. It’s a great way to de-stress.”

Question: How many areas depend on the tanker deliveries for water?

Residents have objected and even staged a sit-in, but the tankers keep coming for the water, kicking up clouds of fine dust as they drive off. The drivers, often from the city, say they are scorned by their neighbors. “We need to feed our families too,” one of them, Saaed Salimizadeh, said. “When the water runs out, it will run out for all of us. We have to choose between jobs and drinking water.” Sirjan is by no means alone in its water shortages. In surrounding Kerman Province, 1,455 of 2,064 village reservoirs have dropped below levels needed to sustain the population, according to the local water management agency. The semiofficial Mehr news agency reported in July, citing local statistics, that 541 villages were dependent on tanker deliveries for their water.

Question: What is the most reasonable course of action for DuPont?

The May 13 investor vote is fast approaching. Some 30 percent of DuPont’s shareholder base is made up of retail investors, many of whom may cast votes (but like much of the American electorate, probably won’t). This leaves DuPont’s fate to be decided by the mutual funds. Until the I.S.S. report, DuPont seemed to be on an upward track; now, it is hard to say whether the company will win. In truth, a settlement is still the logical course – it’s a fact of life these days, as Mr. Lipton points out. Both sides know DuPont’s performance quite well and can work through all of these issues better than anyone.

Question: What did many reviewers unfortunately come across while using the app?

Chime’s sitters in New York cost $17 an hour for one child and an extra dollar an hour for each additional child (the company keeps 10 percent of every transaction), and the app’s automatic payment feature can help ease the awkwardness of settling up at the end of the night. Given the credibility that Chime seems to have earned among parents who have already used the app, it’s a shame that one of its failings is so much more ordinary. I ran across some technical trouble while taking the app through its paces. Mr. Conrad admitted that “there might be a few rough edges,” and another of the mothers I interviewed, Jamie Kosmar, said she had yet to successfully use the app because it still has “a couple of bugs.” The app’s website does not seem to have any of the same problems, however. And as Chime is still brand-new, it seems likely that its developers will be able to clean up its technical troubles. If it does, it could become a reliable alternative to the old-fashioned sitter next door.

Question: Who directed the mini series, "Spiral?"

And it’s not yet noon in “Paris,” a six-part French mini-series that traverses 24 hours as a dozen seemingly random residents dodge, dart and finally collide. Created by the writer Virginie Brac and the director Gilles Bannier of the labyrinthine crime drama “Spiral,” and starting Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 11 p.m. Eastern on TV5Monde, it’s a moody mashup of cool and grit featuring the César-winning actor Éric Caravaca, the Swiss model Julie Ordon and the French rapper Kool Shen; a score by the keyboardist Hervé Salters; and a graphic intro that soars through the innards of the Eiffel Tower. Oh — and subtitles.

Question: Who authored the book Great Yorkshire Beer?

“Everybody in the know drinks halves,” said Leigh Linley, author of “Great Yorkshire Beer,” when I met him in the nearby city of Leeds the next day, referring to the half-pint serving glass, instead of the more traditional imperial pint. “With the amount of choice we have in Yorkshire, it is perfectly acceptable to drink halves and treat each night out as a giant beer festival.” Indeed, I’d heard for years about the pleasures of Yorkshire beer, starting with storied ale breweries like Samuel Smith’s, founded in 1758, and Timothy Taylor, founded a century later. In addition to traditional English ales, the county is also home to up-and-coming craft breweries that produce more modern styles, as well as some of Britain’s ’s most beloved pubs and bars. Armed with Mr. Linley’s book, I decided to take a six-day trip across much of West, South and North Yorkshire this spring, and soak up a sense of this northern English county and its renowned beer culture.

Question: What term is used to describe a certain Orthodox circumcision ritual?

Rabbi David Niederman, an influential Orthodox leader in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, sat outside a meeting of the New York City Board of Health on Wednesday, staring at a brochure and frowning. The pamphlet, created by the de Blasio administration, is a glossy but blunt warning about the dangers of metzitzah b’peh, an Orthodox circumcision ritual linked to herpes infections in infants. “Some babies can get sick with herpes, which can lead to death,” the form reads in bold type. “There is no way to avoid the risk.” “Serious misstatements,” Rabbi Niederman said, looking pained, as he read the brochure for the first time. But the rabbi declined to elaborate, telling a reporter that, for now, he wanted only to praise the city for trying to work with Orthodox leaders on the matter.

The pamphlet, created by the de Blasio administration, is a glossy but blunt warning about the dangers of <hl> metzitzah b’peh <hl>, an Orthodox circumcision ritual linked to herpes infections in infants. “Some babies can get sick with herpes, which can lead to death,” the form reads in bold type. “There is no way to avoid the risk.” “Serious misstatements,” Rabbi Niederman said, looking pained, as he read the brochure for the first time. But the rabbi declined to elaborate, telling a reporter that, for now, he wanted only to praise the city for trying to work with Orthodox leaders on the matter.

Question: Who is the director of Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research?

No single law usually could have prevented mass shootings, which remain rare. Gun violence experts are increasingly interested in changing laws to better target those who have a demonstrated propensity for gun violence. For instance, a nonviolent felony conviction from two decades ago may well be less predictive of gun violence than a domestic violence protection order or drunken-driving conviction, said Daniel Webster, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research.

Question: What message do Mara want to send to Pierre-Paul?

To date, most of the communication between the Giants and Pierre-Paul has been by text messages. Mara said he had texted Pierre-Paul in the days after the accident. “He told me that this was a little bump in the road and that he would be back as good as ever,” Mara said. “I’m disappointed he’s not here because this is the best place for him. We have the best training staff in the league and have access to some of the best doctors in the world.” Mara conceded that he was speaking with reporters in an effort to get his message to Pierre-Paul. Mara said the Giants had had little contact with Pierre-Paul’s representatives. Asked what his primary message was to Pierre-Paul, Mara said, “Come home; we miss you.”

Question: Who was Li Chunfu's brother?

In recent days, the police have detained a number of other lawyers, including Li Chunfu, the brother of Li Heping, a prominent rights defender who is among those who disappeared in an earlier police sweep. “This is another blow to the Chinese government’s pledge that it will uphold the rule of law,” a spokesman for the China Human Rights Lawyers Concern Group, a Hong Kong organization, said by telephone. Ms. Yan, Mr. Yu’s wife, said officers at the police station where her husband was being held refused to allow her to see him on Friday. An officer who picked up the phone at the police station refused to confirm whether Mr. Yu was there.

Question: What change in size did the outlier report expect manufacturing would undergo?

Economists thought the nation added 200,000 jobs in November; the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ best guess in the jobs report released Friday morning was 211,000. The unemployment rate was unchanged at 5 percent, and average hourly earnings rose 0.2 percent last month, both identical to the forecasters’ projections. You’ll rarely see an economic report that more closely matches economists’ expectations. Another report earlier in the week that suggested that the manufacturing sector was contracting looks to be an outlier.

Question: What is the 24-hour cable news responsible for?

They began as workaday interactions between the police and the public, often involving minor traffic stops in places like Cincinnati; North Charleston, S.C.; and Waller County, Tex. But they swiftly escalated into violent encounters. And all were captured on video. Those videos, all involving white officers and black civilians, have become ingrained in the nation’s consciousness — to many people, as evidence of bad police conduct. And while they represent just a tiny fraction of police behavior — those that show respectful, peaceful interactions do not make the 24-hour cable news — they have begun to alter public views of police use of force and race relations, experts and police officials say. Videos have provided “corroboration of what African-Americans have been saying for years,” said Paul Butler, a professor at Georgetown University Law School and a former prosecutor, who called them “the C-Span of the streets.” On Thursday, the family of Samuel DuBose, an unarmed black man who was shot to death by a University of Cincinnati police officer on July 19, said the officer would never have been prosecuted if his actions had not been captured by the body camera the officer was wearing.

Question: What was a touchstone issue?

The benefit, which was a touchstone issue even before it was made law in 2013, was envisioned as a way to encourage parents to remain home and raise their children, ages 15 months to 36 months, once maternity leave benefits expire. About 455,000 parents, mostly mothers, now receive the payments. But critics, who derisively referred to the program as the “stove bonus,” argued that it sent women the wrong signal by rewarding them for staying at home. Many educators also worried that the monthly payments of 150 euros, or $163, were most attractive to poorer, often immigrant, families whose children benefit most from early childhood education.

Question: What type of authority do states and cities have to protect against gun violence?

It was the 70th time since 2008 that the Supreme Court has declined to consider a lawsuit challenging a federal, state or local gun regulation. This creates a big opportunity for Americans to put pressure on their state and local leaders, especially since Congress refuses to approve even uncontroversial measures like universal background checks for gun sales, which are supported by nearly nine in 10 Americans. Until that changes, states and cities have the constitutional authority and moral obligation to protect the public from the scourge of gun violence.

Question: How many square feet was the 5 room house?

He started the hunt last summer at open houses. There was always “that essential element that kept you from continuing,” he said. Usually it was size. He was coming from a 5,400-square-foot five-bedroom house, and every one-bedroom he saw seemed small. Places with sufficient space were going for well over $1 million. In one case, he intended to bid, but was told “there are already three offers beyond the asking price,” he said. “This does not happen in Florida.” The mother of an employee at García Media was a friend of Lisa Greenblatt, a saleswoman at Douglas Elliman, who helped him with his search.

Question: who is the prime minister of Crimea

Sergei Aksyonov, the prime minister of Crimea appointed by Russia, said Monday that the blockade would have little effect, as only about 5 percent of the goods consumed in Crimea came through Ukraine. “The trade blockade of Crimea begun by Ukrainian activists with the support of a number of Kiev politicians will not affect food supplies in the region,” he told the Russian state-run Rossiya 24 satellite television channel. “Crimea will not notice this.” Most Russian goods are transported by large ferries across the Sea of Azov and through the Kerch Strait, but bad weather can halt service despite significant improvements during the last year. Russian television focused much of its attention on the fact that roadblocks were being manned with the help of members of Right Sector, a Ukrainian nationalist organization banned in Russia, where the news media frequently portray it as neo-fascist.

Question: What did Don deliberately do to the grapes and pistachio

For Don Cameron, a farmer south of Fresno, a wet winter 33 years ago led to an idea about how to take advantage of the vast natural water storage system underground. He noticed that some grapevines along the San Joaquin River were flooded for months in the winter, but that those same vines produced a lush crop of grapes in the summer. He had to wait until 2011, the last wet year before the current drought, to act on his idea. With a small government grant and help from scientists and an environmental group, Mr. Cameron diverted water to a thousand acres of the farm he manages, Terranova Ranch, deliberately flooding fields of grapes, pistachio trees and hay.

Question: Who brews The Lawnmower lager?

The bandwidth of lagers is rather narrow, but they have their refreshing role to play. None did it better than our No. 1 brew, Session Premium Lager from Full Sail Brewing, clean, crisp, lively and fresh. Session, surprisingly, is not made entirely of malted barley. It uses a touch of malted wheat as well. Apparently, lager producers have found ways to be creative without exploding the genre. Other beers well worth seeking out include the pleasantly bitter District Common from Atlas Brew Works; the golden, malty, hoppy Venn Dortmund-Style Lager from Ninkasi Brewing; the lively, lightly bitter Dortmunder Gold Lager from Great Lakes Brewing; and the fresh, grassy Lawnmower Lager from Caldera Brewing. The Lawnmower, by the way, was the lowest in alcohol in the tasting at just 3.9 percent.

Question: Char kway teow produces more happiness than what?

Noodles stir-fried with shrimp and soy sauce, called char kway teow, produce far more happiness than you’d expect from something that looks like shrimp lo mein. The appearance of another stir-fry, nyonya chap chye, is deceptive, too. Clear rice noodles jostled together with tofu and mushrooms, the dish has almost no color and a mild flavor, but the more you eat the better it gets. The Hainanese chicken rice is another sleeper; it tastes like much more than slices of soy-lacquered chicken over rice cooked in chicken broth.

Question: Where were there simmering political tensions?

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia —  Up and down the stairs of the five-star Radisson Blue Hotel, they moved from one meeting to another. Some wore suits, some came in traditional white clothing with turbans, some dressed casually. One rebel leader wore a baseball cap. In a rarity, anyone who is anyone in Sudanese politics — government officials, rebels, politicians, activists and international observers — was in one place, to talk peace. For a moment, it seemed like the momentum in this country — fractured by chronic instability in Darfur, violence in provinces like South Kordofan and Blue Nile, and simmering political tensions in the capital, Khartoum — was finally shifting.

Some observers agree. “The analogy I like to use is, complaining that Google is lifting its own vertical search engine over other vertical search engines would be like complaining that The New York Times is not carrying The Los Angeles Times’s sports section,” said Danny Sullivan, founder of Search Engine Land, an online publication that tracks the search industry. “You don’t expect The New York Times to carry a rival sports section. But you do expect it to have a sports section. When people go to a search engine, they’re looking to search across everything.” As Google pointed out in its response to the European filing, linking to its own services has not destroyed its rivals. Google Travel, for instance, is still far less popular than competitors.

Question: Where is Kid Comet from?

Her decision to quit the tights-and-cape existence and take up a normal job naturally causes a fight for leadership among the remaining superheroes: El Fuego (Andrew Call), a short-order cook from Bay Ridge who now has the ability to shoot fire; Blue Nixie (Grace McLean), a former marine biologist from Brighton Beach, who can control the tides; Kid Comet (Gerard Canonico), a messenger from Dumbo transformed into the fastest man living (“I finish my commute just as I begin it,” he sings); Captain Clear, a file clerk who’s now completely invisible (we just hear his voice); and Avenging Angelo (Nick Cordero), an unemployed gamer from Bensonhurst whose rather modest (if hilarious) gift is being able to locate empty parking spots.

Question: Who described Mr. Connell as a "a Gary Cooper type"?

Mr. Seymour told me that he and Mr. Connell first drank together at the Glad Hand, now closed, whose bartender founded the No Name. “He was a very good-looking guy,” Mr. Seymour, 77, said of Mr. Connell. “We called him Smiling Jack. He always wore a leather flight jacket, had a little mustache, looked like the Smilin’ Jack character in the comics” — a macho aviator in a strip that ran from 1933 to 1973. “He was a Gary Cooper type all the way,” Mr. Seymour said. “Very spare in what he had to say. I’m not quite sure where he lived. He may have been living in San Francisco and spending time in Sausalito. He wasn’t boisterous, wasn’t a big drinker. Just be in there, sit down, nursing whatever he was drinking.”

Question: What was the name of the American trainer

The training aims to remold the Ukrainian units by increasing the responsibilities of noncommissioned officers, fixing a Soviet legacy of an officer-heavy infantry. Without sergeants paying attention, basic mistakes were being made, the trainers said. Capt. Nicholas Salimbene, an American trainer, noticed with alarm that the Ukrainians were carrying their rifles with the safeties off. “It’s about the professionalism of the force,” he said. “We want them to look like soldiers.” “You see reports about the little green men,” he said, referring to the Russian soldiers who invaded the Crimean Peninsula last year in unmarked uniforms, “and they all walk around professionally, and carry their weapons professionally.” The Ukrainians should, too, Captain Salimbene said. The United States is also providing advanced courses for military professionals known as forward observers — the ones who call in targets — to improve the accuracy of artillery fire, making it more lethal for the enemy and less so for civilians. Oleksandr I. Leshchenko, the deputy director for training in the National Guard, was somewhat skeptical about the value of the training, saying that “99 percent” of the men in the course had already been in combat.

Question: What action was the winner during the debate on Tuesday night?

It was impossible not to feel a sense of relief watching the Democratic debate after months dominated by the Republican circus of haters, ranters and that very special group of king killers in Congress. For those despairing about the future of American politics, here was proof that it doesn’t have to revolve around candidates who pride themselves on knowing nothing or believe that governing is all about destroying government. Civility was a big winner on Tuesday night, and the discussion of real issues was refreshing. But what stood out most was the Democratic Party’s big tent, capable of containing a spectrum of reality-based views. All five candidates — including two refugees from what had been the Republican Party, Lincoln Chafee, a former Republican senator, and Jim Webb, secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration — have real records. They also have real differences on important issues — national security, foreign policy, gun safety, financial reforms. Those differences illuminate the choices that have to be made in governing, some likely to be successful, some ineffective.

Question: Who was Steven Pifer?

“Minsk II raises tough questions and leaves difficult issues for later,” said Steven Pifer, a former American ambassador to Ukraine. “It is a fragile arrangement, requiring good faith and follow-through from parties that have shown little of that in the past.” The Obama administration, which has indicated that it would send antitank missiles, surveillance drones and other far more serious battlefield weapons to Ukraine, said those plans would be shelved, for now, but would be revived if the parties failed to honor the agreement.

Question: Who said "the pilot of the Firefigher II had to contend with the sheer force of the front cannon"?

Fireboats have also responded to smoldering garbage barges, houseboat blazes and, a few years ago, a coal ship fire in Connecticut. Because the department used federal funding to replace much of its aging fleet, “that makes them regional assets,” said Chief Ferro. “It used to be like ‘The Flintstones,’” he said of the boats from the middle of the last century. “Now it’s like ‘The Jetsons.’” During the Brooklyn blaze, Chief Ferro said that in addition to dealing with heavy current, strong winds and shallow water, the pilot of the Firefighter II had to contend with the sheer force of the front cannon, known as a monitor, pushing the unanchored boat backward. “He did an amazing job,” the chief said.

Question: What is the appeal of Chomp Chomp?

These are not the franchise-studded cul-de-sacs that fill American malls with hypertrophied cinnamon buns and microwaved despair. Singaporean food courts, better known as hawker centers, are lined with stalls whose proprietors make a small number of dishes, or just a single one, over and over. The appeal of Chomp Chomp, which the chef and owner, Simpson Wong, named after one of the country’s most magnetic hawker centers, is that you can eat your way from stall to stall without leaving your seat.

Question: Who are Bruno's two chefs?

Rave reviews of items that have yet to be sold to a paying customer are less rare than you may think. A restaurant that hopes to get a respectable P.R. push out of the gate will often make a few of its more striking dishes available for advance photographs and tastings. As soon as the doors open, waves of impressions from bloggers, Yelpers, Instagrammers and others begin to pound the shoreline. Two critics from Eater were among the earliest customers of David Chang’s Fuku, and their “first reactions” were posted about three hours after the first chicken sandwich was sold. There are reasons, though, for paid critics to give a new place like Bruno time to settle in. Pizza is not as simple as it appears. Getting it right takes time. Bruno’s chefs, Justin Slojkowski and Dave Gulino, mill the flour in the basement from whole New York State wheat berries, and ferment it slowly with a sourdough starter. I don’t know another local pizzeria that goes to these lengths, and you won’t taste a crust like Bruno’s anywhere else. What the raised perimeter lacks in crunch it makes up for in earthy, whole-grain flavor. But the crust has been slightly different each time I’ve tried it. Most recently, it had a uniform fluffiness, a cushiony yet chewy softness, without big air pockets or blisters. When it comes to toppings, Mr. Slojkowski and Mr. Gulino don’t play it safe, either. Their nearest approach to a classic pie is their margherita, with a sauce that incorporates sweet, juicy garlic and some fermented tomatoes. These give it a fizzy tang along with a slight saltiness. It takes some getting used to, but it interacts energetically with the white slicks of dense, rich mozzarella.
