Question: How much has the property value increased?

“It was a book this thick, but we were free,” joked Mr. Harschel, waving an imaginary building code volume. Mr. Olthuis noted that the house had been built following code for land houses, which, in keeping with a mandate to build greener houses in the Netherlands, stipulated triple-glazed windows, heavy insulation and even a heat exchanger to retain heat from effluent — something that most houseboats, which tend to be light houses on a heavy foundation, avoid. Mr. Harschel estimates that the couple spent 350,000 euros, or $380,000, to build the house (the lease for the lot is €600 a month), and guesses that the value of the property has probably more than doubled in the years since it was built.

Question: What was the required position of the fireplace?

The couple told their architect that they wanted a home that would blend in with its setting yet also incorporate key elements of modern design, such as underfloor heating throughout. “It also needed to have six bedrooms and a central Poggenpohl kitchen,” Mr. Hague said. “I wanted to be able to walk straight into the house at the first-floor level and not to be greeted by the sight of a staircase. Instead, I wanted to be greeted by the flames from a double-sided fireplace, which had been lined up exactly with the front door.”

Question: Which two trade groups did Unilever convince to join the soybean farmers' ecology program?

Unilever brought on the United Soybean Board and the Iowa Soybean Association, two trade groups, to give the program bona fides. The World Wildlife Fund signed up as a scientific consultant. Practical Farmers of Iowa, a nonprofit that focuses on farm ecology, joined in, as did Field to Market, an alliance of agricultural companies that has developed software to measure farming practices. This ad hoc coalition then began reaching out to Iowa farmers. The pitch to soybean growers is simple. By participating in the program, they receive an extra 10 cents a bushel of soybeans from ADM, have access to additional state subsidies for certain eco-friendly farming techniques and receive education about sustainability. Three years into the program, 250 farmers responsible for 285,000 acres have signed up. Mr. Sutter was initially reluctant to participate in the program, worried that data about his farm he was required to share might be obtained by big seed suppliers like Monsanto. But he ultimately joined.

Question: Was it a document that Mr. Yates destroyed?

It does not matter, she said, that what Mr. Yates destroyed was not a document. “A person who hides a murder victim’s body is no less culpable than one who burns the victim’s diary,” she wrote. “A fisherman, like John Yates, who dumps undersized fish to avoid a fine is no less blameworthy than one who shreds his vessel’s catch log for the same reason.” Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy and Clarence Thomas joined Justice Kagan’s dissenting opinion.

Question: What was the tamarind eggplant topped with?

We had fun sharing the appetizers, like the tamarind eggplant, thin half-dollar-size rounds of the night shade vegetable tossed with onions, chickpeas and yogurt, and topped with tamarind chutney. It was tangy and cooling. Bagari shrimp, four jumbo shrimp in a thick yogurt and tomato sauce, came with puri, puffy fried bread, to scoop every last bit of curry. It was soul food. And the calamari Cochin, flash-fried squid rings with a coarse black pepper and corn flour coating, was as addictive as good onion rings.

Question: Where was the wreath of flowers going to be laid?

Ms. Sabbagh was walking in a small group of fellow party members on Saturday with a wreath of flowers to lay in Tahrir Square to honor demonstrators killed there during previous protests, according to a witness account and a video recording of the scene. When her group took up the Arab Spring chant for “bread, freedom and social justice,” a contingent of masked riot police officers as numerous as the marchers “fired bullets and gas within minutes,” according to a testimonial posted on Facebook by Azza Soliman, a prominent human rights lawyer who was nearby at the time. In the video, the police officers are seen firing guns from across a narrow street. A friend, crouching down, grabs Ms. Sabbagh around the waist as she stands upright with blood running down her face. Then he is seen hurriedly carrying her away while the gunfire continues. A forensic report said birdshot fired at close range had pierced her lung and heart, according to news reports. The deaths on the anniversary of the revolt were predictable, rights activists say, because the swift use of firearms has become de facto police policy toward any unauthorized public assembly, especially in downtown Cairo. On the anniversary last year, more than 50 people died in clashes with the police.

Question: Eskisehir has a large refinery for what?

Russia is one of Turkey’s largest markets for exports, after Germany. Eskisehir (pronounced Es-ki-SHARE) itself has a large sugar refinery, using sugar beets from nearby fields as its raw material; the city exports about $30 million worth of cookies, cakes, crackers and other foods to Russia, according to the local chamber of commerce. Turkey had been stepping up food exports to Russia in recent months as political frictions between Russia and the West led to a reduction in Russian food imports from the European Union.

Question: What is in flux?

The future is in flux. What is certain is that citizens value investigative work. “People don’t know of corruption unless it’s disclosed to them,” said Martin Baron, the Globe’s editor during the church investigation, now editor of The Washington Post. When they see the media bringing wrongdoing to light, he said, they often express appreciation: “If it weren’t for you, nobody would do this work.” That enduring appetite for investigative journalism may hold the key. And so, for the good of the democracy (and their own survival) news organizations, whether start-up or legacy, must make it a high priority to keep digging — with the public’s interest at heart.

Question: what did silver predict for himself in court?

In an unusual arrangement, Mr. Silver would not quit his post. Instead, he would temporarily delegate his duties as speaker to a group of senior Assembly members. Under the plan, which the Assembly’s Democratic caucus is to consider in a closed-door meeting on Monday afternoon, Mr. Silver would “not specifically step down, but step back,” according to a person briefed on the situation, who insisted on anonymity because the plan had not yet been presented to the caucus. Immediately after Mr. Silver’s arrest on Thursday, Democrats in the Assembly rallied behind him. Mr. Silver, who has proved adept over the years at withstanding ethical and legal scrutiny, predicted he would be vindicated.

Question: How many head coaches have there been under Snyder?

While the Giants are methodical, embracing change with the speed of a glacier, Snyder has presided over change after change in futile pursuit of buying, leasing or renting a championship. So far, that effort has seen him burn through eight head coaches and more than a dozen starting quarterbacks. The only thing Snyder has not changed — and the one thing he should — is his team’s offensive nickname. “Redskins” has become a weight that hangs around the franchise’s neck like a yoke. More critically, on Snyder’s watch, Washington has seemingly ruined quarterback Robert Griffin III.

Question: What was the ultimate verdict in this article?

At the meeting, Mr. Law noted that the board “never said” that two casinos in the Southern Tier-Finger Lakes region could not work. But he and the other members of the board emphasized that the new proposals had to be an improvement on the earlier projects. State legislation allows for up to four casino licenses outside of the New York City area. But in recommending only three projects for a license last month, the board warned about the possibility of cannibalizing an already crowded gambling market in the Northeast. The board could still decide not to award a license.

Answer: The board could still decide not to award a license.

Question: What was in doubt about Mrs. Clinton's private email address?

Reports of Mrs. Clinton’s use of only a private email account while she was secretary of state, meanwhile, have cast a new light on efforts by outside groups to obtain access to her correspondence with the Clinton Foundation during her tenure at the State Department — about donations or anything else. That correspondence, if it exists, would most likely have taken place on Mrs. Clinton’s private email address, putting its accessibility — to journalists, scholars or political adversaries — in doubt. Already, Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, has made 16 appeals under the Freedom of Information Act for State Department correspondence mostly related to Mrs. Clinton and foundation donors.

Question: With PEPS, what does one touch to unlock the door?

That’s because customers are purchasing cars with so-called PEPS, or Passive Entry, Passive Start capabilities. Rather than needing to pull out a key from one’s pocket or purse, the key sends a signal to the car that it’s nearby, and the car creates a digital “handshake” with the authorized key. Touching the door’s handle unlocks it, and the car is started by pushing a button. The car cannot be locked if the key is left in the car. “This type of key is a huge convenience for drivers,” said Jeff J. Owens, chief technology officer for Delphi, another supplier of automotive systems. “A watch or phone used instead must offer more than today’s key.” In some ways, they offer less, by increasing the complexity of operating a vehicle. In Tesla’s case, one needs to open the app and then enter a PIN to start the car or unlock the doors. Using the Internet to transfer vehicle starting or unlocking information, while useful in an emergency, “is not a viable way forward,” said David Green, market development director at Volvo.

Question: How long did the trial last?

As each name of the 12 people killed and 70 wounded was read, and read again — prosecutors filed two charges per victim — the families looked to the corner of the public gallery and gave one another a quiet nod or an arm squeeze. After an emotional 10-week trial, one of the longest and most complex in this state’s history, it took a jury of nine women and three men about 12 hours of deliberation over two days to convict Mr. Holmes on all counts. He now faces a lengthy sentencing process in which prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. The jury’s verdict roundly rejected arguments from his defense lawyers that he had had a psychotic break and was legally insane when he carried out the massacre inside the Century 16 theater in suburban Aurora, Colo., on July 20, 2012. His lawyers argued he was not in control of his thoughts or actions, but prosecutors said Mr. Holmes, despite being mentally ill, had plotted the shootings with calculation and knew what he wanted to accomplish when he started firing into the crowd.

Question: Who describes Mr. Abbott's proposed carbon emission reduction targets as inadequate?

Question: Who is Paolina in a secret meeting with.

Severo finds out that Paolina has married, and in a secret meeting with him, she refuses to be unfaithful. Aided by Callistene, whose machinations drive much of the plot, Poliuto finds them and vows revenge. But when Callistene arrests Nearco, another Christian, Poliuto puts his faith before his love, and confesses his baptism. Visiting Poliuto in prison, Paolina urges him to recant. When Poliuto remains steadfast, she converts, too, following him to an unseen death in the arena. Does Paolina really mean it? Is her baptism a response to Severo’s return, or genuinely a matter of faith? Is Poliuto a political figure or a religious one, if the two could be separated? Using a new critical edition by the scholars William Ashbrook and Roger Parker that excises all the French accretions, Ms. Clément’s production tries to tease out these gray areas. But in a relentlessly monochrome production, she deals with politics weakly, vacillating between forcing the point and not making it at all.

Using a new critical edition by the scholars William Ashbrook and Roger Parker that excises all the French accretions, Ms. Clément’s production tries to tease out these gray areas. But in a relentlessly monochrome production, she deals with politics weakly, vacillating between forcing the point and not making it at all.


Question: For how long does Mr. Sharif believe the area will continue to thrive?

He blamed the government for keeping energy and water prices low, saying that he paid only $270 a month for his electricity bill, covering his huge pump and 20 employees. “It’s ridiculous,” he said. “And while we have no water, its price is also dirt cheap.” His investment has paid off, Mr. Sharif, 44, acknowledged. “I have bought myself another 15 years,” he said as he walked among freshly picked pistachio trees. That is just enough to last to his retirement. “After that,” he said, “this place, like everything else here, is done for.”

Answer: 15 years

Question: The Petrobras investigation is headquartered in what Brazilian city?

If any good has come from the Petrobras debacle it is the flickering sense that this time could be different. Part of the reason is the work of Judge Sérgio Moro, who is overseeing the investigation, officially known as Operação Lava Jato, or Operation Carwash. In Brazil, judges have wide latitude to define both the direction and scope of criminal inquiries, and Judge Moro’s willingness to pursue even the eminent and influential has made him a folk hero. During a recent visit to the courthouse where he presides in Curitiba, ribbons of yellow and green, the national colors, were tied around trees, quiet expressions of solidarity and support. Another source of public optimism can be found on the eighth floor of an office building a few miles away, in rooms that could pass for a low-budget telemarketing operation. This is home to the team of nine prosecutors working on Lava Jato, as everyone here calls it.

Question: What was the reason that Michael D'Andrea gave for not moving drone strike operations to the Pentagon?

It was two years ago that Mr. Obama gave a speech pledging to pull the targeted killing program from the shadows, and White House officials said they wanted to shift the bulk of drone operations from the C.I.A. to the Pentagon, with the stated intent of making the program somewhat more transparent. But the intelligence committees have resisted the plan, in part because Mr. D’Andrea and other top agency officials have convinced lawmakers that the C.I.A. strikes are more precise than those conducted by the Pentagon’s Joint Special Operations Command.

Question: Who would go with Sandy to her treatments in Manhattan?

Over the next months, Sandy and Daryl boarded a bus early in the morning every few weeks and rode down to Manhattan for the treatments. “I still feel as though I’m me,” she told him on one ride. “Do you agree?” He did, sort of. In fact, he was surprised by how much herself Sandy could still be, even as she became less and less the formidable thinker he had always known. He was surprised too to discover that it didn’t matter to him. “I realized how little of the fact that she was an intellectual played into my feelings for her,” he said. “They were feelings for her, not her intelligence. And they were still all there.”

Question: What is McConnell a die-hard protector of?

Mr. McConnell’s acknowledgment that Barack Obama is actually president might cheer some Democrats. But it doesn’t mean he intends to be too cooperative with Mr. Obama during the president’s final months in office. A die-hard protector of his state’s coal industry, Mr. McConnell immediately dismissed the new Paris climate change accord as nothing more than a “long-term planning document.” He told The Washington Post that the White House shouldn’t push the new Pacific trade pact until a lame-duck session next year — if at all — before the president leaves office.

Question: What was one of the things Denver learned how to deal with?

Spike will be moved on Thursday back into a production greenhouse, where it will either pollinate (unlikely) or enter a dormant phase. Dr. Still said that even its failure to bloom would provide more opportunities to extend what experts know about the plant, which, given its relatively short history as a research specimen, is comparatively little. Think of these huge plants as the giant panda of the plant world: Researchers are trying to increase the genetic diversity of the fragile plants, but their erratic blooming schedule can make it difficult. Experts at gardens around the country have passed along knowledge and resources when possible. In the case of Spike, officials at the Denver Botanic Gardens rushed to ship frozen pollen to help Spike bloom, but they also offered practical advice. “One of the big things that we learned was how to deal with crowd control,” Mr. Pollak said.

Question: What is Mr. Fairchild's sense of humor?

Laudomia Pucci, the interim chief executive of Emilio Pucci and Mr. Pucci’s daughter, attested to Mr. Fairchild’s particular mixture of kindness and cutting. “He was extremely, extremely nice with my father, whenever he talked to him,” she said. “But at the same time, he had that niceness and then this very dry sense of humor.”

Question: What is one of the most painful processes?

On the ground, where crews are slashing down lines of trees and pulling up underbrush in an effort to scrape down to bare earth, where fire cannot catch, the changed fire behavior means that swaths have to be cut wider and that firefighters have less time during which it is safe to work. “The younger guys, we have to keep pulling them back,” Captain Oatman said, noting that the eagerness of novices to put out the fire must be tamped by new safety precautions in the face of speeding flames. In the fire zone near Clearlake Oaks, teams of firefighters strode through ashy scrubland where the blaze had passed, putting out simmering pockets with hose water in clouds of smoke. The painstaking process of finding and eradicating hot spots will take place over the entire expanse of the fire’s path.

Question: Prudence unites what kind of a perspective with moral rigor?

The poetics of damage permeates David Treuer’s elegantly bitter fourth novel, “Prudence,” which unites a distinctly modern sociopolitical perspective with a more old-fashioned moral rigor about the consequences of emotional cowardice, complicity and repression. On the evidence here, Treuer believes in bravery. Moreover, he believes that a lack of bravery isn’t just sad, it’s deeply destructive — and the destruction can’t be undone. Cowardice can kill people. While there’s much hope in this lyrical novel, as evidenced by the freedom with which it examines some of the more transgressive interstices of race, sexual orientation and gender, there’s also an obdurate insistence on taking responsibility, particularly if one is a man. Treuer’s perspective is bracingly tough. This author values honor. Who dares to take that kind of stance anymore?

Question: Who (along with allies) enlisted the design company that estimated the demolition costs?

“Legislators owe it to the people of the county to listen to his plan, to test the assumptions and to compare it to the plan they are in such a hurry to implement,” the editorial argued. The lawmakers should have second thoughts. Bids for demolition came in last week at nearly twice the price estimated by the design firm, Clark Patterson Lee, that Mr. Neuhaus and his allies have enlisted. Instead of $3.9 million, as Clark Patterson predicted, the two bids topped $7.4 million and $7.7 million, The Times Herald-Record reported on Saturday. Officials backing demolition say that debates over the Rudolph center have gone on too long. Entertaining an alternative now would mean more delays. It’s a curious argument, since county legislators themselves are the ones who have the power to expedite, or drag out, consideration of Mr. Kaufman’s plan. As the newspaper’s editorial also noted, “This urge to move on has surfaced repeatedly.” Each time, local officials have “resisted, and each time they avoided doing something irrevocable and more costly than necessary,” it said. “This time is no different.”

Question: mayor bill de Blasio's housing plan faces opposition in what city?

“We’re going to support it, including the mansion tax,” said Steven Spinola, president of the real estate board. “We’re not happy about everything, but we think it will lead to building more affordable housing.” Mr. de Blasio has also been outspoken on another contentious affordable-housing issue — the need to strengthen rent regulations to preserve the city’s existing affordable-housing stock. His proposals still face a battle in Albany, which has been thrown into turmoil in recent months by the arrest on corruption-related charges of Sheldon Silver, a Democratic assemblyman and former speaker, and Dean G. Skelos, the Republican majority leader in the Senate. Both the 44-year-old 421-a housing program and the rent stabilization law, which governs rents for one million apartments in New York City, are set to expire on June 15.

Question: Who makes the dressing?

For the dressing, which Baumgart builds out of what he calls ‘‘a deconstructed za’atar,’’ the Middle Eastern spice blend, some confidence is required. What seems an enormous amount of dried spices — ground fennel, sumac and coriander — is combined with chopped parsley and cilantro. The result looks dry and grainy, as if something is wrong. But olive oil, lime juice and white-wine vinegar (best available, please!) begin to smooth things out, and the cheese, pistachios and vinegar-plumped currants finish the job. ‘‘Let it sit for a while,’’ Baumgart advised. ‘‘Let those flavors come together.’’

Question: How long after her Amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis did Sandy progress to Alzheimer's disease?

On a quiet Friday morning in November 2010, Sandy sat down with a mug of honey-ginger tea to read two books that Daryl had brought her. By this point, a year and a half after her amnestic M.C.I. diagnosis, she had progressed to what Duffy said was Alzheimer’s disease. She had retired from Cornell, but she was doing well. She could still travel alone to familiar destinations, including Austin, Tex., where Emily was living. Jeremy had temporarily moved back home to be with her. She could read novels, even difficult ones like Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road.” She played tennis, gardened and went for walks around Ithaca with a handful of friends, most of them former colleagues from Cornell. She saw a few psychotherapy patients. One would later say that even though Sandy was having some trouble remembering words, “it didn’t really matter. In a therapy relationship you’re talking more about emotions — and in that regard, she didn’t miss a beat.”

Question: Who said that the image promotes a positive image of safe sex?

The advertiser, Dumbo Moving and Storage, hoped the ad would make riders do a double take. The image hints at an intimate encounter without showing it and even promotes a positive message about safe sex, said Lior Rachmany, the company’s chief executive. “Obviously it’s kind of intriguing to the eye,” Mr. Rachmany said, “but it’s not too suggestive, if you ask me.” Dean Crutchfield, a senior vice president at Sterling Brands, a brand consulting firm, said the moving company ad clearly depicted sexual activity and had nothing to do with the business.

Question: What day of the week the elections in Venezuela Happened?

CARACAS, Venezuela —  Now comes the hard part. The political opposition here rode discontent over a failing economy to an overwhelming majority in legislative elections on Sunday, but after years of sniping from the sidelines, members have to get down to the difficult task of delivering on promises to fix the country’s many ills. The opposition, under the banner of the Democratic Unity coalition, won 112 of the 167 seats in the National Assembly, which will be sworn in Jan. 5, according to electoral authorities.

Question: After the program had been running for three years, how many soybean farmers participated in the program?

Unilever brought on the United Soybean Board and the Iowa Soybean Association, two trade groups, to give the program bona fides. The World Wildlife Fund signed up as a scientific consultant. Practical Farmers of Iowa, a nonprofit that focuses on farm ecology, joined in, as did Field to Market, an alliance of agricultural companies that has developed software to measure farming practices. This ad hoc coalition then began reaching out to Iowa farmers. The pitch to soybean growers is simple. By participating in the program, they receive an extra 10 cents a bushel of soybeans from ADM, have access to additional state subsidies for certain eco-friendly farming techniques and receive education about sustainability. Three years into the program, 250 farmers responsible for 285,000 acres have signed up. Mr. Sutter was initially reluctant to participate in the program, worried that data about his farm he was required to share might be obtained by big seed suppliers like Monsanto. But he ultimately joined.

Answer: 250

Question: What did Weisberg initially think when he received a fishy message about his website?

“Do not ignore me, as it will just increase the price,” DD4BC said in one email that was made public. “Once you pay me you are free from me for the lifetime of your site.” Ted Weisberg, the president of the brokerage firm Seaport Securities, which was hit in June, said that he initially thought the message was a joke. But as he called competitors, he said, he quickly learned that the threat was real. Seaport’s website ended up being down for a day and a half. Mr. Weisberg’s firm did not pay the ransom and repelled the bombardment of traffic with the help of one of its technical providers.

Question: What did the editorials in Chinese state-run newspapers celebrate?

Moreover, editorials in China’s state-run news media celebrated the rising indexes as affirmation of Mr. Xi’s recipe for national strength: a measured easing of state controls on the economy while keeping political power firmly in the hands of the party elite. Market adulation reached its peak in April, when a commentary on the website of People’s Daily, the party’s flagship newspaper, told readers the 4,000 point mark reached by the Shanghai Stock Exchange was “only the start of the bull market.” “What’s a bubble? Tulips and Bitcoins are bubbles,” the author, Wang Ruoyu, wrote, scoffing at warnings that the Chinese stock markets were bound to burst. He expressed confidence in the long-term prospects of the common stocks known as A Shares traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges.

Question: Pyongyang has redefined the difference in economies between North and South Korea by claiming what in their propaganda against the South?

Historically, the North’s propagandists vilified the South and its economy, but now that more Northerners know some of the truth through illegally smuggled South Korean television shows and other contraband, Pyongyang has redefined the difference in economies in relative terms: Though South Korea may be rich, any North Koreans foolish enough to chase Southern dreams will only find a life of hardship and poverty there. The double defectors play right into Pyongyang’s new narrative. Many of them are featured in scripted press conferences in which they claim to have encountered a life of misery in the South. The double-defector propaganda has also given the regime a defense against human rights criticism from abroad: If North Korea really is so  horrible, why do so many people keep returning? South Korea already provides a lot of support for defectors, including living expenses and a place to live. It also helps with our education and finding jobs. Despite this generous assistance, which some struggling South Koreans resent, we need more emotional support and ongoing counseling to help with the integration process.

Question: Who did the video allege that Mr. Shin raped?

After the United Nations came out with its damning report in February 2014, Pyongyang’s propaganda officials circulated a video featuring wild accusations against Mr. Shin. It alleged he raped a 13-year-old girl and featured an interview with his father in North Korea who said they had never lived in a “so-called political prison camp.” At least one defector from Camp 18 recognized Mr. Shin’s father as a fellow inmate, pressuring Mr. Shin to admit that his story didn’t hold together, leading to the retraction.

Question: When did Sally decide she would stop taking her photos?

She remains undecided about whether her own series of pictures will continue when Jessie reaches puberty. “I swore two years ago that because she was beginning to look more like an adult woman, I was going to stop. But it would have been difficult, because she’s always naked out here.” She knows, too, that all three will soon close her out in developing their young-adult selves, and “that could be scary.” Daniel Shybunko has told her to expect a different opinion about the pictures as they “assert their own autonomy.” That one of them could pen a “Mommie Dearest” has also crossed her mind. A screaming fight breaks out down by the river over Virginia’s watch, and Mann, hoping the girls will sort it out themselves, tries to continue her train of thought. Her longstanding affection for the books of Nabokov has faced revision in light of her situation. “I just reread ‘Lolita,’ “ she says above the din. “I love him, of course. But I found it pretty difficult to read the second time because of what he did to that girl.”

Question: What did Mr. Milne ask lawmakers to ignore, and vote according to their districts' choices?

Mr. Milne had asked lawmakers to vote according to their districts’ choices in November, not the statewide popular vote. If every legislator had done so, the outcome would have been a 90-90 tie, according to The Burlington Free Press. (One person did not vote on Thursday.) But at least 20 members ended up voting against their constituents.

Question: What is the name of what you should go through every chord of?

SALONEN He always said that the form and the expression of most Western art music come from the harmony. If you don’t know the harmony well, you cannot understand, let alone convey, the sense of the form to anybody. On a practical level it means you have to go through every chord when you go through a score. It sounds obvious and trivial, but if you study, say, “Götterdämmerung” or “Elektra,” to get a clear idea of the harmonic structure takes a lot of time. There are no shortcuts. You have to learn what the principles of the harmony are, and then you can plan your so-called interpretation.

Question: What were his typical basketball stats?

He also played for the New Jersey Nets (now the Brooklyn Nets), the Utah Jazz and the Detroit Pistons. For his career, he averaged 12 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. More notably, he led the league three times in personal fouls, testimony to his ferocious inside play (and possibly because the refs were never crazy about him), and because he dunked so often and shot well from midrange, his career shooting percentage, .572, is the seventh highest in league history. Darryl Dawkins was born in Orlando on Jan. 11, 1957. He was raised mostly by his mother, the former Harriet James, though Mr. Tyler, his friend, said he remained close to his father, Frank Dawkins. He led Maynard Evans High School in Orlando to the Florida state championship in 1975.
