Problem: Please answer a question about the following article about New York City:
Winters are cold and damp, and prevailing wind patterns that blow offshore minimize the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean; yet the Atlantic and the partial shielding from colder air by the Appalachians keep the city warmer in the winter than inland North American cities at similar or lesser latitudes such as Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. The daily mean temperature in January, the area's coldest month, is 32.6 F (0.3 C); however, temperatures usually drop to 10 F (12 C) several times per winter, and reach 50 F (10 C) several days each winter month. Spring and autumn are unpredictable and can range from chilly to warm, although they are usually mild with low humidity. Summers are typically warm to hot and humid, with a daily mean temperature of 76.5 F (24.7 C) in July and an average humidity level of 72%. Nighttime conditions are often exacerbated by the urban heat island phenomenon, while daytime temperatures exceed 90 F (32 C) on average of 17 days each summer and in some years exceed 100 F (38 C). In the warmer months, the dew point, a measure of atmospheric moisture, ranges from 57.3 F (14.1 C) in June to 62.0 F (16.7 C) in August. Extreme temperatures have ranged from 15 F (26 C), recorded on February 9, 1934, up to 106 F (41 C) on July 9, 1936.
What is New York City's daily January mean temperature in degrees celsius?

Problem: The French Marines and naval infantry intended for the invasion of northern Germany were dispatched to reinforce the French Army of Chalons and fell into captivity at Sedan along with Napoleon III. A shortage of officers, following the capture of most of the professional French army at the Siege of Metz and at the Battle of Sedan, led naval officers to be sent from their ships to command hastily assembled reservists of the Garde Mobile. As the autumn storms of the North Sea forced the return of more of the French ships, the blockade of the north German ports diminished and in September 1870 the French navy abandoned the blockade for the winter. The rest of the navy retired to ports along the English Channel and remained in port for the rest of the war.
The French navy fell captive where?
The answer is the following: at Sedan
