instruction:
This task involves annotating the answer type to a given question that involve some kind of complex reasoning (including numerical reasoning). Note that the questions require looking at more than one part of the passage to answer. There are 3 possible answer types (i) spans, (ii) numbers and (iii) dates. If the answer can be found in the passage, label it as "span". If the answer is a number, label as "number". Similarly, label "date" if you think the answer to the given question is a date.

Passage: At the June 1983 Consumer Electronics Show, Commodore lowered the retail price of the 64 to $300, and stores sold it for as little as $199. At one point the company was selling as many computers as the rest of the industry combined. Its prices for the VIC-20 and 64 were $50 lower than Ataris prices for the 600XL and 800XL. Commodores strategy was to, according to a spokesman, devote 50% of its efforts to the under-$500 market, 30% on the $5001000 market, and 20% on the over-$1000 market. Its vertical integration and Tramiels focus on cost control helped Commodore do well during the price war, with $1 billion in 1983 sales. Although the company and Tramiels focus on cost cutting over product testing caused many hardware defects in the 64, by early 1984 Synapse Softwarethe largest provider of third-party Atari 8-bit softwarereceived 65% of sales from the Commodore market, and Commodore sold almost three times as many computers as Atari that year.
Question: Were Commodores or Ataris more expensive?
answer:
span

question:
Passage: In 1710, the Swedish army in Poland retreated to Swedish Pomerania, pursued by the coalition. In 1711, siege was laid to Stralsund. Yet the town could not be taken due to the arrival of a Swedish relief army, which secured the Pomeranian pocket before turning west to defeat an allied army in the Battle of Gadebusch. Pursued by coalition forces, the Swedish army was trapped and surrendered in the Siege of Tonning. In 1714, Charles XII returned from the Ottoman Empire, arriving in Stralsund in November. In nearby Greifswald, already lost to Sweden, Russian tsar Peter the Great and British king George I, in his position as Elector of Hanover, had just signed an alliance on 17 /28 October. Previously a formally neutral party in the Pomeranian campaigns, Brandenburg-Prussia openly joined the coalition by declaring war on Sweden in the summer of 1715. Charles was then at war with much of Northern Europe, and Stralsund was doomed. Charles remained there until December 1715, escaping only days before Stralsund fell. When Wismar surrendered in 1716, all of Sweden's Baltic and German possessions were lost.
Question: How many years passed from when Swedish army in Poland retreated to Swedish Pomerania to when Wismar surrendered ?
answer:
number

question:
Passage: The exact origin of the 260-day count is not known, but there are several theories. One theory is that the calendar came from mathematical operations based on the numbers thirteen and twenty, which were important numbers to the Maya. The numbers multiplied together equal 260. Another theory is that the 260-day period came from the length of human pregnancy. This is close to the average number of days between the first missed menstrual period and birth, unlike Naegele's rule which is 40 weeks between the last menstrual period and birth. It is postulated that midwives originally developed the calendar to predict babies' expected birth dates. A third theory comes from understanding of astronomy, geography and paleontology. The mesoamerican calendar probably originated with the Olmecs, and a settlement existed at Izapa, in southeast Chiapas Mexico, before 1200 BCE. There, at a latitude of about 15 N, the Sun passes through zenith twice a year, and there are 260 days between zenithal passages, and gnomons , were found at this and other sites. The sacred almanac may well have been set in motion on August 13, 1359 BCE, in Izapa.
Question: The mesoamerican calendar most likely came from the Olmecs before 1200 BCE in which colony, Zenith or Izapa?
answer:
span
