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.
PROBLEM: 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?

PROBLEM: Passage: On 21 June, the HV attacked RSK positions at the Miljevci Plateau, located in the pink zone north of Sibenik. The TO forces in the area were subordinated to the 1st Brigade of the TO, and Lieutenant Colonel General Milan Torbica. The HV deployed 250 troops, elements of the 113th and 142nd Infantry Brigades, commanded by Brigadier Kruno Mazalin. The HV had infiltrated the pink zone along three routesvia Nos Kalik, across the Cikola river and by boat sailing upstream along the Krka River, during the night of 20/21 June. The fighting began at 5a.m. as the HV force, deployed in 26 squads, captured six out of seven villages on the plateau by the end of the morning. At 8:00p.m., the HV captured the village of Kljuc, and all of the plateau. The advance created a HV-held salient south of Knin, several kilometres deep. It also led the RSK artillery to bombard Sibenik and HV bombardment of Knin in response, both on 22 June. The artillery fire progressively intensified until 23 June, while the RSK mobilised and counterattacked against the HV positions at the Miljevci Plateau. However, the mobilisation yielded only 227 additional troops, and the counterattack failed. An UNPROFOR assessment concluded the situation might deteriorate further and engulf all of the pink zones. To address the situation, UNPROFOR military commander Lieutenant General Satish Nambiar met with Deputy Prime Minister of Croatia Milan Ramljak and Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Croatia General Anton Tus in Zagreb the same day, in order to discuss the developments on the Miljevci Plateau. Skirmishes continued on 24 June, accompanied by some artillery fire. Morale of the RSK troops plummeted though, causing a TO garrison based in nearby Trbounj to abandon its barracks.
Question: when did amphibious operations begin?

SOLUTION: date

PROBLEM: Passage: The Second Goryeo-Khitan War was an 11th-century conflict between the kingdom of Goryeo and the Liao dynasty near what is now the border between China and North Korea. It was the second of the Goryeo-Khitan Wars, with the First Goryeo-Khitan War occurring in 993, the second in 1010, and the third in 1018. When King Seongjong died in 997, Liao invested his successor Wang Song as king of Goryeo . In 1009, he was assassinated by the forces of the general Gang Jo. Using it as a pretext, the Liao attacked Goryeo in the next year. They lost the first battle but won the second one, and Gang Jo was captured and killed. The Liao occupied and burnt the Goryeo capital Kaesong. The Khitan withdrew after Goryeo reaffirmed its tributary relationship with the Khitan.
