Problem: The October 2017 term had a low rate of unanimous rulings, with only 39% of the cases decided by unanimous rulings, the lowest percentage since the October 2008 term when 30% of rulings were unanimous. Chief Justice Roberts was in the majority most often (68 out of 73 cases, or 93.2%), with retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy in second (67 out of 73 cases, or 91.8%); this was typical of the Roberts Court, in which Roberts and Kennedy have been in the majority most frequently in all terms except for the 2013 and 2014 terms (though Kennedy was in the top on both those terms). Justice Sotomayor was the justice least likely to be in the majority (in 50 out of 73 cases, or 68.5%). The highest agreement between justices was between Ginsburg and Sotomayor, who agreed on 95.8% of the cases, followed by Thomas and Alito agreeing on 93% of cases. There were 19 cases that were decided by a 5-4 vote (26% of the total cases); 74% of those cases (14 out of 19) broke along ideological lines, and for the first time in the Roberts Court, all of those resulted in a conservative majority, with Roberts, Kennedy, Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch on the majority.

How many justices are conservative?
Answer: 5

Problem: Coming off their close victory over the winless Dolphins, the Bills went home to play the 9-0 New England Patriots, coming off their bye week. The game had just started when Randall Gay picked off J. P. Losman, which led to the Patriots first touchdown, a 6-yard run up the middle by Laurence Maroney. After a Brian Moorman punt, the Patriots scored again, this time on a 43-yard pass from Tom Brady to Randy Moss, with Moss' touchdown breaking the record for most touchdowns by a Patriots receiver in a single season. However, the Bills would answer back with a 47-yard touchdown pass of their own from Losman to Roscoe Parrish, to cut the lead to 14-7, which would be the score at the end of the first quarter. However, on the first play of the 2nd quarter, Brady would hit Moss again for a touchdown from 16 yards out to give them a two score lead again. Seven minutes later, Brady threw his third touchdown of the game, again to Moss. Moss and Brady would hook up for one final touchdown in the first half when Brady hit Moss with only ten seconds left in the first half, giving the Patriots a 35-7 lead at the half. In the 2nd half, the Patriots would add to their lead when, on a 4th down from the 6, Brady hit Benjamin Watson to put the Patriots over 40 points for the fourth time in 2007. The Bills could only muster up a 52-yard field goal by Rian Lindell. In the 4th quarter, with Maroney out of the game, Kyle Eckel scored a 1-yard touchdown to cap off their final touchdown drive of the night. A minute after the score, Ellis Hobbs recovered a Buffalo fumble and scored from 35-yards out to finish the scoring at 56-10, a season-high for the Patriots, and the most points scored by a road team since 1976, when the Atlanta Falcons put up 62 on the New Orleans Saints. Matt Cassel relieved Brady and finished off the rout for the Patriots. At game's end, New England went over 400 points scored on the season.

How many total points were scored in the game?
Answer: 56

Problem: Trying to make it 5 straight wins and stay in contention for the No.3 seed in the AFC playoffs, the Chargers continued their domination over the Denver Broncos on Christmas Eve. Not only did they stop them from scoring a touchdown for the second time this season they also made it 4 straight victories over Denver. The game started off inauspiciously for the Broncos when Denver QB Jay Cutler fumbled the ball leading to a 40-yard K Nate Kaeding field goal for San Diego, and after a 3 and out, the Chargers gave the ball to RB LaDainian Tomlinson for a 17-yard TD run. The second quarter was relatively quiet as 2 Kaeding Field goals (23-yards & 29-yards) gave the Bolts a 16-point lead going into halftime. In the third quarter San Diego QB Philip Rivers and WR Chris Chambers hooked up on a 14-yard pass and catch to make the score 23-0. Denver finally began to move offensively until a tipped pass was intercepted by San Diego SS Clinton Hart, but some defensive miscues including a San Diego QB Billy Volek fumble led to a 23-yard field goal by Denver K Jason Elam. In the fourth quarter the defense stepped up for the Bolts on 2 fourth down plays and a San Diego CB Quentin Jammer interception sealed the victory for San Diego. The result guaranteed that a San Diego win at Oakland would secure the No.3 seed in the AFC playoffs. The win in Denver at home made San Diego only the second team in NFL history to shut out every opponent at home in the first quarter, outscoring opponents 81-0.

In which quarter did only one team score?
Answer: first

Problem: Coming off their bye week, the Browns flew to the Edward Jones Dome for a Week 8 interconference duel with the winless St. Louis Rams. In the first quarter, Cleveland trailed early as Rams RB Steven Jackson got a 2-yard TD run, along with QB Marc Bulger completing a 1-yard TD pass to WR Torry Holt. The Browns responded with kicker Phil Dawson getting a 35-yard field goal. In the second quarter, Cleveland took the lead with QB Derek Anderson completing a 12-yard TD pass to WR Braylon Edwards and a 21-yard TD pass to TE Kellen Winslow. St. Louis managed to tie the game prior to halftime with kicker Jeff Wilkins getting a 40-yard field goal. In the third quarter, the Browns jumped back into the lead as Anderson and Edwards hooked up with each other on a 5-yard TD pass. The Rams replied with Wilkins kicking a 46-yard field goal. In the fourth quarter, Cleveland got the only score of the period and the victory as Dawson nailed a 45-yard field goal.
