The problem: Answer a question about this article:
The word ale comes from Old English ealu (plural ealo), in turn from Proto-Germanic *alu (plural *alu), ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European base *helut-, which holds connotations of "sorcery, magic, possession, intoxication". The word beer comes from Old English beor, from Proto-Germanic *beuza, probably from Proto-Indo-European *beusom, originally "brewer's yeast, beer dregs", although other theories have been provided connecting the word with Old English beow, "barley", or Latin bibere, "to drink". On the currency of two words for the same thing in the Germanic languages, the 12th-century Old Icelandic poem Alvissmal says, "Ale it is called among men, but among the gods, beer."
What 12th century poet once wrote "Ale it is called among men, but among the gods, beer."?
****
The answer: Alvissmal

Apple was initially reluctant to embrace mice with multiple buttons and scroll wheels. Macs did not natively support pointing devices that featured multiple buttons, even from third parties, until Mac OS X arrived in 2001. Apple continued to offer only single button mice, in both wired and Bluetooth wireless versions, until August 2005, when it introduced the Mighty Mouse. While it looked like a traditional one-button mouse, it actually had four buttons and a scroll ball, capable of independent x- and y-axis movement. A Bluetooth version followed in July 2006. In October 2009, Apple introduced the Magic Mouse, which uses multi-touch gesture recognition (similar to that of the iPhone) instead of a physical scroll wheel or ball. It is available only in a wireless configuration, but the wired Mighty Mouse (re-branded as "Apple Mouse") is still available as an alternative. Since 2010, Apple has also offered the Magic Trackpad as a means to control Macintosh desktop computers in a way similar to laptops.
Who was initially reluctant to embrace mice with multiple buttons and scroll wheels?
****
The answer: Apple

Czech distinguishes three gendersmasculine, feminine, and neuterand the masculine gender is subdivided into animate and inanimate. With few exceptions, feminine nouns in the nominative case end in -a, -e, or -ost; neuter nouns in -o, -e, or -i, and masculine nouns in a consonant. Adjectives agree in gender and animacy (for masculine nouns in the accusative or genitive singular and the nominative plural) with the nouns they modify. The main effect of gender in Czech is the difference in noun and adjective declension, but other effects include past-tense verb endings: for example, delal (he did, or made); delala (she did, or made) and delalo (it did, or made).
What do Czech adjectives agree with in the nouns they modify?
****
The answer: gender and animacy

Emperor Zhang's (r. 7588 AD) reign came to be viewed by later Eastern Han scholars as the high point of the dynastic house. Subsequent reigns were increasingly marked by eunuch intervention in court politics and their involvement in the violent power struggles of the imperial consort clans. With the aid of the eunuch Zheng Zhong (d. 107 AD), Emperor He (r. 88105 AD) had Empress Dowager Dou (d. 97 AD) put under house arrest and her clan stripped of power. This was in revenge for Dou's purging of the clan of his natural motherConsort Liangand then concealing her identity from him. After Emperor He's death, his wife Empress Deng Sui (d. 121 AD) managed state affairs as the regent empress dowager during a turbulent financial crisis and widespread Qiang rebellion that lasted from 107 to 118 AD.
When did Emperor He's reign end?
****
The answer:
105 AD
