Problem: In February 1865 Brahmss mother died, and he began to compose his large choral work A German Requiem Op. 45, of which six movements were completed by 1866. Premieres of the first three movements were given in Vienna, but the complete work was first given in Bremen in 1868 to great acclaim. A seventh movement (the soprano solo "Ihr habt nun Traurigkeit") was added for the equally successful Leipzig premiere (February 1869), and the work went on to receive concert and critical acclaim throughout Germany and also in England, Switzerland and Russia, marking effectively Brahmss arrival on the world stage. Brahms also experienced at this period popular success with works such as his first set of Hungarian Dances (1869), the Liebeslieder Walzer, Op. 52 (Brahms), (1868/69), and his collections of lieder (Opp. 43 and 4649). Following such successes he finally completed a number of works that he had wrestled with over many years such as the cantata Rinaldo (cantata) (18631868), his Two String Quartets, Op. 51 (Brahms) Op. 51 nos. 1 and 2 (18651873), the third piano quartet (18551875), and most notably his Symphony No. 1 (Brahms) which appeared in 1876, but which had been begun as early as 1855.

How many years after it was completed was A German Requiem Op. 45 first performed in its entirety?
Answer: 2

Problem: Hoping to rebound from their loss to the Ravens the Dolphins played on home ground for an AFC duel with the Titans. In the first quarter the Dolphins took the lead as RB Ronnie Brown got a 2-yard TD run. The Titans replied with RB Chris Johnson getting a 17-yard TD run. They fell behind after kicker Rob Bironas nailed a 40-yard field goal. They eventually took the lead after kicker Dan Carpenter made a 23 and a 26-yard field goal, which was soon followed by QB Chad Henne completing a 13-yard TD pass to RB Patrick Cobbs. The Titans replied with QB Vince Young completing a 14-yard TD pass to WR Nate Washington, but the Dolphins continued to score after Carpenter got a 42-yard field goal, followed by QB Tyler Thigpen making a 9-yard TD pass to TE Anthony Fasano (With a failed 2-point conversion). Then FS Reshad Jones intercepted a pass in the end zone for a touchback.

Which player scored the second touchdown of the game?
Answer: Chris Johnson

Problem: Playing their first road game in three weeks, the Vikings traveled to Lambeau Field to play their long-time rivals, the Green Bay Packers. In the first half, a 30-yard run by Ryan Grant would give the Packers a 7-0 lead, and two field goals by Mason Crosby (a 39-yard field goal midway through the 2nd quarter and a 24-yard field goal at the end of the half) would provide all the first half scoring, as the Vikings went to the locker room trailing 13-0. The Packers completed the shutout with Brett Favre throwing a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes, one to Donald Lee and one to Ruvell Martin. Martin would score again in the fourth quarter. The Vikings were shut out 34-0, the first time the Vikings had been shut out in the regular season since 1991. Adrian Peterson suffered a knee injury in the third quarter and left the game. With the loss, Minnesota fell to 3-6 and were swept by the Packers.

How many yards was the shortest field goal?
Answer: 24

Problem: Croatian air pollution levels reflect the drop in industrial production recorded in 1991 at the onset of the Croatian War of Independencepre-war emission levels were only reached in 1997. The use of Hydrodesulfurization fuels has led to a 25% reduction of sulphur dioxide emissions between 1997 and 2004, and a further 7.2% drop by 2007. The rise in NOx emissions halted in 2007 and reversed in 2008. The use of unleaded petrol reduced emissions of lead into the atmosphere by 91.5% between 1997 and 2004. Air quality measurements indicate that the air in rural areas is essentially clean, and in urban centres it generally complies with legal requirements. The most significant sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Croatia are energy production (72%), industry (13%) and agriculture (11%). The average annual increase of GHG emissions is 3%, remaining within the Kyoto Protocol limits. Between 1990 and 2007, the use of Ozone depletion was reduced by 92%; their use is expected to be abolished by 2015.

How many more percentage points does energy production contribute to greenhouse gas emissions in Croatia than industry?
Answer:
59
