There is a maximum limit on the total yearly employee pre-tax or Roth salary deferral into the plan. This limit, known as the "402(g) limit", was $15,500 for the year 2008; $16,500 for 2009-2011; $17,000 for 2012; $17,500 for 2013-2014; $18,000 for 2015-2017; and $18,500 for 2018. For future years, the limit may be indexed for inflation, increasing in increments of $500. Employees who are at least 50 years old at any time during the year are now allowed additional pre-tax "catch up" contributions of up to $5,000 for 2008; $5,500 for 2009-2014; and $6,000 for 2015-2018. The limit for future "catch up" contributions may also be adjusted for inflation in increments of $500. In eligible plans, employees can elect to contribute on a pre-tax basis or as a Roth 401(k) contribution, or a combination of the two, but the total of those two contributions amounts must not exceed the contribution limit in a single calendar year. This limit does not apply to post-tax non-Roth elections.

What year had the highest pre-tax catch up contributions, 2008 or 2015-2018?

A single soldier arriving in Mexico in 1520 was carrying smallpox and thus initiated the devastating plagues that swept through the native populations of the Americas. The European diseases that ravaged the indigenous inhabitants of the Americas also severely affected the various Maya groups of Peten. It is estimated that there were approximately 30,000 Ch'ol and Ch'olti' Maya in western Peten at the start of the 16th century. Between 1559 and 1721 they were devastated by a combination of disease, war and enforced relocations. When Nojpeten fell in 1696 there were approximately 60,000 Maya living around Lake Peten Itza, including a considerable number of refugees from other areas. It is estimated that 88% of the inhabitants died during the first decade of colonial rule because of disease and war. Although disease was responsible for the majority of deaths, internecine warfare between rival Maya groups and Spanish expeditions also took their toll.

How many years passed between the beginning of plagues and the fall of Nojpeten?
A: 176

In the 1970s and 1980s, Panamas growth fluctuated with the vagaries of the world economy. After 1973, economic expansion slowed considerably as the result of a number of international and domestic factors. Real GDP growth averaged 3.5% a year between 1973 and 1979. In the early 1980s, the economy rebounded with GDP growth rates of 15.4% in 1980, 4.2% in 1981, and 5.6% in 1982. The acute recession in Latin America after 1982, however, wreaked havoc on Panamas economy. GDP growth in 1983 was a mere 0.4%; in 1984 it was -0.4%.

How many total percentage points did the GDP rise from 1982 to 1984?
