The longest ground duration of totality was 2 minutes 41.6 seconds at about 37 35 0" N 89 7 0" W / 37.58333 N 89.11667 W / 37.58333;-89.11667 in Giant City State Park, just south of Carbondale, Illinois, and the greatest extent (width) was at 36 58 0" N 87 40 18" W / 36.96667 N 87.67167 W / 36.96667;-87.67167 near the village of Cerulean, Kentucky, located in between Hopkinsville and Princeton. This was the first total solar eclipse visible from the Southeastern United States since the solar eclipse of March 7, 1970. Two NASA WB-57F flew above the clouds, prolonging the observation time spent in the umbra. A partial solar eclipse was seen from the much broader path of the Moon's penumbra, including all of North America, particularly areas just south of the totality pass, where the eclipse lasted about 3 -- 5 hours, northern South America, Western Europe, and some of Africa and north-east Asia.

Answer this question: where did the solar eclipse last the longest?
## answer
To answer the above question, the relevant sentence is: The longest ground duration of totality was 2 minutes 41.6 seconds at about 37 35 0" N 89 7 0" W / 37.58333 N 89.11667 W / 37.58333;-89.11667 in Giant City State Park, just south of Carbondale, Illinois, and the greatest extent (width) was at 36 58 0" N 87 40 18" W / 36.96667 N 87.67167 W / 36.96667;-87.67167 near the village of Cerulean, Kentucky, located in between Hopkinsville and Princeton.
So the answer must be Giant City State Park , just south of Carbondale , Illinois

## question
The Convention approved the Committee's Electoral College proposal, with minor modifications, on September 6, 1787. Delegates from states with smaller populations or limited land area such as Connecticut, New Jersey, and Maryland generally favored the Electoral College with some consideration for states. At the compromise providing for a runoff among the top five candidates, the small states supposed that the House of Representatives with each state delegation casting one vote would decide most elections.

Answer this question: when did we start using the electoral college?
## answer
The relevant information is: The Convention approved the Committee's Electoral College proposal, with minor modifications, on September 6, 1787.
So the answer must be September 6 , 1787

## question
Passage: Titanic was under the command of Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship. The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland, Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States. The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury, with an on-board gymnasium, swimming pool, libraries, high-class restaurants and opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard, due to outdated maritime safety regulations. Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people -- slightly more than half of the number on board, and one third of her total capacity.

Question: Based on this passage, who was sailing the titanic when it crashed?
## answer
This is the relevant information: Titanic was under the command of Edward Smith, who also went down with the ship.
So the answer must be Edward Smith

## question
Context: The Olmecs flourished during Mesoamerica's formative period, dating roughly from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE. Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE, but by 1600 -- 1500 BCE, early Olmec culture had emerged, centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan site near the coast in southeast Veracruz. They were the first Mesoamerican civilization, and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed. Among other "firsts", the Olmec appeared to practice ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies. The aspect of the Olmecs most familiar now is their artwork, particularly the aptly named "colossal heads". The Olmec civilization was first defined through artifacts which collectors purchased on the pre-Columbian art market in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Olmec artworks are considered among ancient America's most striking.

Question: the cultural core of early olmec civilization was located at?
## answer
To answer the question, consider the following: Pre-Olmec cultures had flourished in the area since about 2500 BCE, but by 1600 -- 1500 BCE, early Olmec culture had emerged, centered on the San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan site near the coast in southeast Veracruz.
So the answer must be San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan site near the coast in southeast Veracruz
