Question: Who joked about missing teeth?

In theater terms, Woods is in previews. For him, opening night is April 9, the first day of the Masters. If he is worried about the state of his game, Woods hid it behind his actor’s mask. After signing his scorecard, he stepped to the microphone and deadpanned, “I’m just doing this so I won’t get fined.” Everybody, starting with Woods, laughed at his sendup of the media-averse Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch. Woods’s stab at humor hit closer to the funny bone than the attempt by the marshal at the par-3 seventh hole on Thursday. As Woods’s group approached the tee box, the man announced to the fans, “No jokes about missing teeth, blondes or 5-irons.”

Question: What concerns prompted the sanctions?

The United States expanded sanctions targeting North Korea on Tuesday, imposing economic penalties on six of its international banking representatives and three of its shipping companies for what the Treasury Department called ties to illicit arms proliferation and financing. The sanctions, announced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, bars them from dealings with the United States and impounds any assets in American jurisdiction. It was the second time in four weeks that the Treasury had imposed sanctions on North Korea, reflecting concerns about its efforts to improve its nuclear weapons and missile capabilities despite United Nations prohibitions.

Answer: efforts to improve its nuclear weapons and missile capabilities despite United Nations prohibitions.

Question: On what day of the week did the Republican debate take place?

But now, in an election cycle where the Republican Party’s grass-roots wing is angry and looking for a presidential candidate who projects a visceral sense of their frustration, some of Jeb Bush’s supporters say he may need to learn the fine art of negative campaigning. The Republican debate on Tuesday in Las Vegas provides Mr. Bush with a highly anticipated platform to forcefully take on his rivals. After faltering in a previous debate exchange with Senator Marco Rubio, Mr. Bush — perhaps more than anyone else onstage — might be compelled to prove he has the strength and passion not just to lead the nation, but to hold his own in the aggressive Colosseum of modern politics. That could be tricky for a man whose family code is one of polite gentility and even bipartisanship, not angry yelling and boorishness.

Question: What do criminals use to file fraudulent returns?

Last week’s suspension of some electronic state tax filings because of a sudden increase in fraudulent returns highlights the need for consumers to track potential misuse of their personal information, especially at tax time. In tax-refund fraud, criminals file a tax return using someone else’s Social Security number to collect a refund. Taxpayers often learn of the fraud when they file a legitimate return, only to find one has already been processed in their name. It can take weeks or months before the situation is resolved and taxpayers receive their rightful refund.

Question: Of the beers discussed which had the lowest alcohol at 3.9 percent?

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: What could be the overall effect of the Trans-Pacific Partnership?

One mistake the Nafta negotiators made more than two decades ago was taking worker rights and environmental protections out of the agreement itself and putting them into a side letter. They were never effectively enforced. Those negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership expect to rectify that error this go-round. They are also aiming to pry open the Japanese auto and agricultural markets to American producers, and include protections for a free and open Internet. It has, in other words, a lot more potential to do good than harm.

Question: Which team is experiencing a turnaround?

Noticing more blue-and-orange caps and fewer navy pinstripes around New York these days? Hearing more talk about how the Mets keep finding ways to win? It could be that the Yankees’ seemingly unshakable hold on the city’s baseball heart is loosening amid the sudden and stunning turnaround for the Mets. Both teams may be headed for the postseason, so another test of popularity may be coming soon. And measuring the pulse of a fan base in a two-team baseball city is never simple, especially when one of them is the Yankees, with their 27 World Series championship and 20 retired numbers.

Question: What position does the player Jonathan Hankins play?

Coughlin, who has visited Fells, said Fells had had three consecutive days of progress after responding well to the new combination of antibiotics. “I think these three straight days are really a wonderful sign, but there’s more tests to be done,” Coughlin said. “And again, the response to the antibiotic is critical.” Defensive tackle Jonathan Hankins said the players were heartened to speak directly to Fells and to see him on a big screen in the team’s auditorium. “It was good to talk to him and see how he’s doing,” Hankins said.

Question: Who is the most powerful person in the Cuban church?

“What the church recognizes today and they are addressing is that the first thing you have to address with the Cuban people is trying to meet their basic needs,” said Andy Gomez, a former senior fellow at the Institute for Cuban and Cuban-American Studies at the University of Miami. “Once you start helping them address their basic needs, food and shelter, then you can start talking about religion, social change and some of these other things.” The most powerful figure in the Cuban church is Cardinal Jaime Lucas Ortega y Alamino, the archbishop of Havana, who is set to retire. Detractors attack him as being too conciliatory to the government of President Raúl Castro. Defenders say he is astute and politically savvy in preserving the relevance of the church. According to Catholic clergy and lay members, Cardinal Ortega favors a slower, smoother transition to a more democratic and market-based Cuba, a view shared by some on and off the island who fear that a more dramatic change could bring social and economic turmoil. But some Cuban bishops have wanted a more confrontational approach, while other critics have been upset by the cardinal’s public dismissals of Cuba’s political opposition.

Question: How many members of Turnbull's own party did not vote for him?

But Mr. Turnbull will have to lead not only the lawmakers in his own party — 44 of whom did not vote for him on Monday night, against 54 who did — but also a country where policy in recent years often seems to have been made on the run, and often in response to flagging opinion polls. Australia’s current political turmoil dates from the Labor Party government of Kevin Rudd, who became prime minister in 2007.

Question: Who is it purposed that Britain complete Airstrikes against?

He found the resources to commit to the 2 percent threshold, committed to buying F-35 fighter jets and maritime patrol planes for Britain’s new aircraft carriers, and vowed to renew Britain’s submarine-based nuclear deterrent. He is now seeking to follow through on his promise to expand airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. Mr. Cameron has announced an increase in military spending in real terms of 3 percent over the next four years, including for special forces, intelligence gathering and a doubling of Britain’s drone fleet. Nevertheless, after the recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, Britons remain wary about involvement in Syria, and Mr. Cameron has had to spend considerable effort cajoling lawmakers — including in his own party — to support him.

Question: Who is the chairman of Boston 2024?

The plan envisions enlisting private “master developers” who would front the money to buy the necessary land, move existing owners and prepare these two sites. As an incentive, the developers would receive highly generous tax breaks for new construction after the Games. Those tax breaks would be negotiated with the city, but the report suggested that the developer might pay just 15 percent of real estate taxes for the first decade. “This could be the largest economic development opportunity in our lifetime, in my lifetime, in Boston,” Steve Pagliuca, co-owner of the Boston Celtics and chairman of Boston 2024, said in presenting the plan.

Question: How tall is Mr. Faulkner?

Mr. Faulkner, who served on a task force on police relations under Mayor Giuliani, faulted Mr. de Blasio for failing to reassure police officers that he “has their back,” and for alienating the business community. Mr. Faulkner pledged that he would get along better with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who is a Democrat, than Mr. de Blasio has. The two Democratic leaders have clashed, with increasingly open hostility. “This governor has been pretty independent of his party,” Mr. Faulkner said. “I have no doubt that I will have a much better relationship, a working relationship, with this governor.” And if Mr. Faulkner were to advance to a debate with Mr. de Blasio, he would at least be able to challenge the mayor eye-to-eye: At 6-foot-4, Mr. Faulkner is, at most, only one or two inches shorter than Mr. de Blasio.

Question: What percent does the company keep for themselves off each transaction?

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: What's the last name of the coach in question?

Players said Coughlin played a significant role this week in keeping despair out of the locker room. “He’s the same man every single day,” running back Rashad Jennings said. “Never budges, stays the course.” Eli Manning disagreed with the part about Coughlin always being on an even keel — “Sometimes he can get a little animated, and he’ll get fired up” — but he said the larger point was that Coughlin had seen enough slow starts to drive his teams through the darkness. “He challenged the team — that’s what great coaches do,” Manning said, adding, “You’ve got to find a way to push the guys without getting them down.”

Question: How old is Paige Decker?

Paige Decker sustained a career-ending concussion in November 2013 when she was playing for Yale and was blindsided by a check that sent her head crashing to the ice. Decker has visited more than 40 physicians throughout North America, searching to alleviate the daily pains that saturate her nerves and muscles. She often leaves only with misdiagnoses and thousands of dollars in bills that her insurance does not cover. She compared her constant headaches to barbed wire constricting her brain. Decker, 23, left a consulting job in Boston a year ago because of her health. She is largely confined to her parents’ house in Connecticut.

Question: In what year would Alberto Youseff leave prison?

“It’s hard to predict,” he said. “Statistically, when you have cases against the rich and powerful, things tend to end with pizza. We have no illusions. No aspirations to be superheroes. We are only a group of guys determined to do our best.” One person who will be celebrating before too long is Alberto Youssef. Stress and jail have turned his hair gray, slimmed him down by 40 pounds and landed him last year in the hospital with a heart attack. His wife divorced him and he is said to be destitute. His days as a nexus of cash and gifts are over. But Judge Moro determined that his assistance had been so helpful that he was given the minimum sentence allowed in his plea agreement. With the time he has already served, he will be free by the beginning of 2017.

Question: What movie won best documentary?

There were some moments that went against the usual Oscar formula of tears and gratitude. Patricia Arquette’s feminist call to arms at the end of her acceptance speech for supporting actress was unexpected and fierce. “We have fought for everybody else’s equal rights. It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all, and equal rights for women in the United States of America,” she said as Meryl Streep and others roared their approval. “Citizenfour,” about the National Security Agency leaker Edward J. Snowden, won best documentary, and its makers thanked Mr. Snowden, who is still in Russia, for his courage. Mr. Harris joked that Mr. Snowden “couldn’t be here for some treason.” Oscar nights usually do have their share of political posturing, but this was a particularly passionate evening.

Question: How long did Mr. Callender persuade the BBC to wait for Mark Rylance?

Mr. Rylance, who has won three Tony Awards, has done relatively little film or television work and isn’t well-known to a broader audience. (That might change after “Wolf Hall” and two current film projects with Steven Spielberg — “The BFG” and “Bridge of Spies.”) But Mr. Callender and his fellow producers weren’t deterred. “Most actors can do one or two things at the same time; great actors can do several things at the same time; Mark Rylance can do hundreds of things at the same time,” he said. “He has one of those faces that can tell a thousand stories.” So sure was Mr. Callender that Mr. Rylance was the right choice that he persuaded the BBC to wait a year while the actor performed in repertory productions of “Twelfth Night” and “Richard III” that played in the West End and on Broadway.

Question: How much money was allotted towards the project in 2010?

“When we are unable to get a successful bid on a contract, that can delay a project six months to a year,” Mr. Silver said. Such was the case in Councilman Brad Lander’s district, in Brooklyn, where a dog run near DiMattina Playground limped along for years. Mr. Lander allotted $225,000 toward the project in 2010. When it went out to bid, however, there were no takers the first time around. The dog run, in Carroll Gardens, finally opened last summer, with new benches, fountains with spouts and a bone-shape dog pool. “It’s beautiful,” Mr. Lander said. Now he has his eye on another park project: the $2.75 million renovation of Dome Playground, on the border of Kensington and Borough Park. The parks department held a meeting to solicit ideas in early 2011; construction began last week — four years later. “This is another long saga,” said Mr. Lander, who allocated money from his discretionary fund toward the renovation. “But it has picked up pace as of late.”

Question: Does Mr. Trump and the right want a mixed population?

It was such an unnecessary battle to wade into — maternity tourism is not what Mr. Trump and his enablers on the restrictionist right are talking about. When they say “anchor babies,” they are talking about the browning of America, with its growing Latino population, and recasting it as a sinister plot by child-rearing Mexicans. They want to upend the 14thAmendment, and the country’s family-based immigration laws, to keep the population as white as can be. Maternity tourism by middle-class foreigners is a separate, much smaller issue; changing the Constitution to stop it, as one immigrant rights advocate once put it, is like killing a fly with an Uzi.

Question: Who is the President of Syria?

“They’re not closed — there’s a lot of smuggling, people have to live” in Syria, said Savas M. Ozaydemir, a leading Eskisehir industrialist with holdings in roofing tile manufacturing, wiring manufacture and real estate. “But of course, it might be 30 percent of what it was.” The route around Iraq and Syria through Iran is much longer and costlier — and Iran has imposed a hefty fee on Turkish trucks, ostensibly because they may fill up on subsidized diesel fuel while in Iran. Turkey’s strong support for democracy in Syria and for the removal of Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, an Iranian ally, have not helped.

Question: What meal did they have?

“You’re not listening!” he said. “After that, whenever I went out with people more successful than me, I always judged them by the words of my boss. The people I wanted to do business with or start a friendship with were those who offered to pick up the bill; the shady characters were those who just sat back and waited for someone to pay. And when I started picking up the tab for my friends and on business meals as I became wealthier, everyone’s view of me changed. They knew me now as someone who would take care of business,” whether that meant the meal in front of them or things of more substance. “How about if I pay this time, and you pay next time?” I said. “But you don’t pay the bill to build a reputation,” he replied, ignoring my offer. “You pay because it’s the right thing to do. You really don’t know the financial situation of the other person whenever you go out, so just offer; if the person is wealthier than you, he’ll take care of you, no worries. You always take care of those worse off than you — call it Jesus or charity or good business or whatever, but you always do. Now, let me pay the bill.” He won. Best business lunch I ever had (high-end chilaquiles, by the way). The lesson I learned that day is a mantra I’ve followed ever since and have repeated to everyone I know, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also because of what my exec pal told me as we left the restaurant:

Question: What did Pyongyang's propaganda officials circulate?

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.

Question: What comical event took place after a man falls dead in the latest Swedish filmmaker's movie

The world this award-winning 72-year-old Swedish filmmaker creates is an indelible one. Populated by pasty-faced men in suits and assorted other hapless souls, his last three features have unfolded like a series of blackout sketches in what resemble preserved dioramas of life. In his newest, “A Pigeon Sat on a Branch Reflecting on Existence,” a man drops dead in the capacious cafeteria of a cruise ship, leading the cashier to offer up the man’s tray of food and drink. In the back of the room, a diner’s hand shyly goes up: He’ll take the beer. “Pigeon,” as Mr. Andersson has referred to it, opens June 3 at Film Forum, preceded by a retrospective at the Museum of Arts and Design showing the other two films in Mr. Anderson’s so-called “Living” trilogy as well as shorts. Each shot in the features has the same deadpan, uncanny look, opening on a deep-focus view of some room or bar, viewed slightly askew, with muted gray or beige walls or sidewalks.

Question: Which new product did Google allow a few reporters to test?

Farhad: You know what’s not boring? Cars. Google let some reporters ride in its new driverless vehicles this week, and some went away convinced that cars without drivers are the inevitable future. Also, Tesla began shipping the Model X, its super-expensive new crossover vehicle. I don’t get the business case for selling a $130,000 sport utility vehicle with rap-star doors, but it does make for some good press. Oh, also, there was some speculation about whether Jack Dorsey will be named the permanent chief executive of Twitter — but given the rate at which the Twitter board is moving, I’m sure we’ll have all year to talk about that.

Question: What as Jame's rate in the finals alone?

Counting all of the rounds, James’s rate is 37.8 so far in the playoffs.

With Irving out for the rest of the playoffs, James’s rate may well climb past Jordan’s before the series concludes. And Jordan’s rate for the 1993 finals alone, 38.9, lags behind James’s 44.0.

Question: Where did Mimi Fahs attend school before college?

As a high school student in Battle Creek, Mich., Mimi Fahs dreamed of Wellesley, but it was freezing cold the day she visited. She saw Sweet Briar in the spring, “and, oh my God, what a contrast,” she said. Dr. Fahs, now 65 and a professor at the CUNY School of Public Health at Hunter College, was in Sweet Briar’s class of ’71. Her first day, she plastered her freshman dorm room with anti-Vietnam War posters. As it happened, her roommate, who was from North Carolina, had friends who were fighting there.

Question: What do they say for it?

As for the security threats posed by migrants: This question regularly comes up in public meetings and has been raised by anti-immigrant parties on the right. So far, whenever I have asked officials that question, they seemed pretty sanguine. They say that there are easier ways for terrorists to infiltrate European countries than to tag along with migrants on a difficult and dangerous journey. Still, some people find it striking that thousands of people have entered Europe with hardly any screening.

Question: What is it that Halves refers to in the text?

“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 will happen on July 1 if Congress does not renew the authorization of the Export-Import Bank?

The public faces of the Ex-Im Bank battle may be mom-and-pop exporters walking the hallways of Capitol Hill in support of the agency, and the ideological spear carriers of the conservative, free-market movement, like Club for Growth and the Heritage Foundation, in opposition. But those message makers mask a behind-the-scenes slugfest between two heavyweights, Boeing and Delta, which have narrower, bottom-line interests and very deep pockets. The normally obscure Export-Import Bank, whose main job is to help American businesses sell their goods and services abroad, will cease to exist on July 1 if Congress does not renew its authorization. Delta has spent nearly $10 million on lobbying since 2012, at least in part to kill the Ex-Im Bank or greatly diminish loan guarantees for Boeing customers abroad, according to lobby disclosure forms. Boeing has already put up more than $69 million over that same period on Ex-Im and other interests, according to the documents. “We have been lobbying a lot on this because it’s a very important issue for us,” said Tim Neale, Boeing’s government operations spokesman. “We know our business, and we know there are customers even in times of good credit availability that need a government loan guarantee.”

Question: Where can fire not catch?

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: What is the name of the Sudanese government negotiator?

Ibrahim Ghandour, a Sudanese government negotiator, attributed the failure of the talks to the rebels “being held hostage” to their alliances with one another. Yasser Arman, a negotiator with the SPLM-N, said the government was not able to make firm decisions. “Outstanding issues have been identified and they need decisions,” he said. The government said it did not want to revisit issues relating to Darfur that had already agreed upon with one of the groups in 2011. “Perhaps a new faction will come and say an agreement in Addis Ababa does not concern us and we start all over again,” said Amin Hassan Omar, a government negotiator. Some have called for greater international involvement in the negotiations. In what some see as a breakthrough, Sudan’s rebels, opposition parties and civil society groups signed a declaration late last year, known as the Sudan Call, uniting efforts to push for change in Sudan, but the impact of the declaration remains to be seen. “It has unified the opposition,” said Mahjoub Mohamed Salih, editor in chief of Al-Ayam newspaper in Khartoum. “But it remains to be seen how it will be used and what political power it will bring.” Talks are to resume this month, but Mr. Salih is not holding his breath. “You have to be either a prophet or fool to predict what will happen in Sudan,” he said. For many Sudanese, though, the urgency is clear. “There needs to be compromises from all sides for the sake of the people,” said Hamid Hussein, 45, a used-books seller in downtown Khartoum. He is originally from South Kordofan, where fighting continues. “We are the ones who pay the price of war,” he said.

Question: Who did Mr. Brezner spot in an improv class in the late '70s?

Mr. Brezner, who later worked out of Los Angeles, spotted a young Mr. Williams in an improv class there in the late ’70s and helped channel his perpetual motion into a routine that was cohesive and sometimes even sedately self-revealing. “He had comedic energy that rebounded through the room,” Mr. Brezner told The New York Times in 1985. “It felt like you’d stepped into a wind tunnel.” He added, “If he just did his thing, the effect was that people laughed a lot, but they wouldn’t know who he is.”
