Thanx, Mithrandir.

What came over Merry during the hobbits' stay in Bree?

A dark cloud of suspicion. ;)

Just kidding.

A need for fresh air.

(If this is correct, please select someone else for the next question since I will have limited access to the computer the next few days. thanks in advance)

Lotesse

Black Breath?

Spock

07-17-2005, 12:06 PM

Well, two black riders stood over Merry. Merry himself said "I don't know what came over me" and Strider said "I do, the Black Breath". :confused:

Lotesse

07-18-2005, 01:11 PM

After discussing with Gandalf, which direction did Frodo say he'd travel in?

flupke

07-18-2005, 01:16 PM

East I guess, to Bree or are you refering to the breaking?

Spock

07-18-2005, 01:36 PM

No.

You'll find that I am usually precise in my questioning. Reading is most important.

flupke

07-18-2005, 01:41 PM

:confused: can't remember :confused: , I think it's time for me to read the books again :D

Lotesse

07-18-2005, 06:45 PM

Toward Rivendell. At first Gandalf said just leave the Shire, but then they agreed upon Frodo heading toward Rivendell when he was to set out.

Spock

07-18-2005, 08:12 PM

And now you get the old "read the question" advice...only then will you get the answer.[SIZE=2]

In chapter 3 , after discussing it with Gandalf, Frodo says, "Very good: I will go east, and I will make for Rivendell."

*assuming this is the discussion you are talking about*

Spock

07-19-2005, 03:35 PM

U-GOT-IT.....I asked "direction" not where to through what, EAST is the answer.

FLUPKE gets 10 points! :cool:

flupke

07-19-2005, 03:37 PM

East I guess

wasn't my answer good enough :(
anyway, he can have it I don't have the time now.

At the Council of Elrond, Legolas is telling of the capture and escape of Gollum. At what place did they decide to cut short the hunt?

BTW, Flupke....I'm a girl. ;)

Spock

07-20-2005, 04:04 PM

what did Nob bring to the hobbits room?
Five Onion Rings.
Hot Water
and towels.

Spock

07-20-2005, 07:41 PM

..you forgot the sesame seed bun....:D

you need to be a bit more specific....and less funny ;)

mithrand1r

07-20-2005, 08:40 PM

He brought candles and a tray full of plates.

Maybe the onion rings came later. ?;)

Spock

07-21-2005, 11:23 AM

you keep almost hitting the mark.......I want what Nob brought......not anyone else and not one item more or less than he did.......keep trying/.....PLEASE

mithrand1r

07-21-2005, 02:04 PM

you keep almost hitting the mark.......I want what Nob brought......not anyone else and not one item more or less than he did.......keep trying/.....PLEASE

It is stated in

Houghton Mifflin Co. 1 vol edition
Book 1, Ch. 9 pg 151, p.1 last sentance reads exactly:

But Nob, the Hobbit servant, came bustling in long before they thought of ringing. He brought candles and a tray full of plates.

Your question:

what did Nob bring to the hobbits room?

I think my answer does answer what you asked. Nob brought candles and a tray full of plates.

If you go later in the book it states:

Pg. 163

Mr. Butterbur had arrived with candles, and behind him was Nob with cans of hot water.

IMHO, This would also answer your question correctly.

later pg. 171
Nob states"
I've ruffed up the clothes and put a bolster down the middle of each bed. And I made a nice imitation of your head with a brown wollen mat, Mr. Bag - Underhill, sir,
IMHO, This would also answer your question correctly.

Depending which page (location of text) you pulled your question from and the wording of your question, I think the answer could be

He brought candles and a tray full of plates.
But you say this is not correct.
hot water
bolster & brown wollen mat

P.S.
Hopefully one of these answers is closer to the mark. ;) :p

[QUOTE=mithrand1r]It is stated in
Houghton Mifflin Co. 1 vol edition

Apparently some books have one thing and another publisher or edition have something else. The same passage reads different in many.

My edition is by Ballantine Books, 1965, while yours is much newer. Just like The Bible, the words change with the times.

Anyway, the hobbits were in the room talking with Strider and BB and N came to the door, BB put candles on the table and Nob was told "take the water to the rooms".

Now whether you accept my explanation or not, you may post the next question, with a bit more humility.

Actually, now that you mention different editions, I vaguely remember something about JRRT describing his frustration with the publication of LOTR and the changes to his text by well meaning publishers.

The explanation is fine.
(Though I guess it makes it more challenging to have a trivia game amongst friends. :))

I apologize if my reply came off harshly. I just could not "see" another answer after looking at the text that I have access to and the wording of your question.

With some humility:

According to Gandalf, What is worth at least a gold piece?.

Spock

07-22-2005, 02:48 AM

According to Gandalf, What is worth at least a gold piece?.

According to myself; people like mithrand1r who can understand explanations and graciously express differences.

Thanks for the comment. It was not the answer that I was originally looking for, but If you wish you may have the next question. :)

Andy of Mayberry County of course. ;)

p=600

brownjenkins

07-24-2005, 04:00 PM

Andy who?

that would be too big a hint ;)

the "andy" from fotr, of course :p

Lotesse

07-24-2005, 04:33 PM

How about Samwise Gamgee? But I discovered the answer in Appendix B, not FotR; are you sure this Andy is mentioned in FotR?

brownjenkins

07-24-2005, 05:22 PM

correct Lotesse!!

in fotr when they first enter lorien and are asked to cross the river using the ropes the elves set up, sam says something to the effect that "his uncle Andy would never believe this" (andwise was a rope maker)

Spock

07-24-2005, 07:31 PM

Boy that was a GREAT question. I verified that BJ got it from FOTR, L. so we're both in the presence of greatness.

Well, South of Rivendell, S.E. of the Shire , in the realm of Gondor.

The thing is, you guys, that was probably way too vague of a question - I'll give a huge hint, by slightly altering the question: Boromir mentions that he was born under the shadow of what mountain?

mithrand1r

The thing is, you guys, that was probably way too vague of a question - I'll give a huge hint, by slightly altering the question: Boromir mentions that he was born under the shadow of what mountain?

I still think south of Rohan was a good first guess. ;) :p

not far from the falls of Nimrodel, Legolas went to check something. What was it and what was it that caused him to cease that activity.

two parts, you must get BOTH correct.

Legolas went to climb up a Mellyrn trees and see the shape and way of growth of its yellow blossoms.

A voice that said "Daro!" caused Legolas to stop his activity.

I will guess Hal.
IIRC he did something in the northern parts of the shire and saw a moving tree. If this is wrong, which is very likely ;), I hope it leads to the correct answer.

well i just checked .. they both have recieved the pm - i'll go and roast em' - with some mint sauce! ... i fancy some new potatoes too ... anyway, no problem

"go back to mordor" - nope. Was earlier in the book. he may well have quavered though - i should check i guess.

the answer can be what had just happened, the spoken words prior, or what frodo says next ... i.e. any answer relating to general event to which frodo replies with a quavering voice will be fine.

mithrand1r

08-14-2005, 07:59 AM

mithrandir, does this mean it's Spock's turn now? :confused:

No. It only means that I think Spock is probably correct.

I do not have a book available so I cannot not check to "officially" certify Spock's (or anyone else's) answer.

(It also gave me a chance to try and write text that would not be visible on the computer screen. {at least mine} I just use color that is the same as the background color for the text, like so.)

well i just checked .. they both have recieved the pm - i'll go and roast em' - with some mint sauce! ... i fancy some new potatoes too ... anyway, no problem

I did not think your answer was smug and/or sarcastic.

My reply was not intended to be an attack on you or anyone else.

It was my attempt of humor (apparently it did not succeed. :o) via a play on your words.

Please accept my apologies for any damages that my writing has caused. It was not my intention.

well. i checked and luckily he didn't quaver at that point. :) thanks for the guess though spock :)

mmm ... not getting involved ...

anyway if spock says he didn't get the pm i beleive him - 100% . period. fact.

i'm not sure what anything else relates to ?? - but last thing i want to do is cause any mis-understandings ....

I cannot frankly see how anyone can view spock's reply as sarcastic or smug?

it seemed like an honest and fair reply.

... i'm guessing it's one of those previous posts jet-lag kinda things??????

anyway ... not my business ...

so... what did frodo reply to in a quavering voice?

best all BB :)

best all BB :)

Would it be when Frodo offered the ring to Galadriel?

Lotesse

08-16-2005, 12:46 AM

It is when Gandalf told him to hold the One Ring up and look closely at it, and Frodo said "I cannot read the fiery letters." Is that it?

Butterbeer

08-16-2005, 03:59 AM

" i cannot read the fiery letters" said Frodo in a quavering voice.

YUP!

Lotesse has it!

Over to you...

Lotesse

08-16-2005, 01:45 PM

Thanx, BB! I'll put a real easy one, since I love this word so much...

What are "neekerbreekers?"

Tree Dweller

08-16-2005, 03:34 PM

Weren't they bugs in the marshes that made a sound like their name?

Lotesse

08-16-2005, 04:22 PM

Yes, that's the neekerbreekers! :D (I just love saying that word)

Tree Dweller

08-16-2005, 05:27 PM

:D

Ok, I gotta take a load of boxes to my new house, but I will post a question in the morning!

Tree Dweller

08-18-2005, 09:58 AM

When Frodo first saw Aragorn, he was described as "a ___________________ man"?

rohirrim TR

08-18-2005, 10:28 AM

a strange looking, weatherbeaten man

Tree Dweller

08-18-2005, 10:47 AM

rohirrim TR

08-18-2005, 11:05 AM

what dwarf did frodo sit next to at rivendell?

Spock

08-18-2005, 11:25 AM

Gee, I remember Elrond put him next to him but don't remember anyone being seated next to him. :(

Acran Mern

08-18-2005, 01:23 PM

That'd be Gloin I believe. :)

rohirrim TR

08-18-2005, 02:34 PM

that it id be :D
your question

Acran Mern

08-18-2005, 03:20 PM

Ok, here goes. What hobbit actually makes a verbal threat to a Ringwraith? :) (Gutsy, no?)

rohirrim TR

08-18-2005, 03:21 PM

sam?

Acran Mern

08-18-2005, 04:34 PM

Nope. 'least not in FOTR. But if anyone else, he'd be it I'd wager :)

Lotesse

08-18-2005, 04:37 PM

Wait, Merry! Was it Merry?

Acran Mern

08-18-2005, 04:47 PM

I don't believe so. But he did approach or tail one if I remember correctly.

mithrand1r

08-18-2005, 05:04 PM

I don't believe so. But he did approach or tail one if I remember correctly.

I would say Frodo.

It was Frodo, at the Ford was it not? to all of them. (including me)

Acran Mern

08-19-2005, 03:38 PM

The Gaffer's got it :)
The fellowship hobbits may have stood against them but did not make a verbal threat :)

The Gaffer

08-22-2005, 12:24 PM

OK, staying with Maggot, what did he have on his boots and fingers?

Spock

08-22-2005, 01:53 PM

bunny slippers and honey :D

rohirrim TR

08-22-2005, 02:59 PM

mud, dirt, soil, residue of mushroom?

The Gaffer

08-23-2005, 03:57 AM

bunny slippers and honey :D
Heh! Maybe in the slash version.
mud, dirt, soil, residue of mushroom?
One out of four there.

Acran Mern

08-23-2005, 09:30 AM

Well, I think rohirrim's got it but I believe it is indeed dirt. But I don't wanna take it from the aforementioned poster :)

The Gaffer

08-23-2005, 09:56 AM

No, he's close but no banana. I think we need the exact material/s

Butterbeer

08-24-2005, 05:19 AM

earth and clay was it?

The Witch-King of Angmar

08-24-2005, 06:01 AM

On the Ringwraith question, didn't Frodo say something like "In the name of the Shire, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" Isn't that a threat?

The Gaffer

08-24-2005, 12:37 PM

earth and clay was it?
Well done sir!

Butterbeer

08-25-2005, 05:43 PM

I think it was Glorfindel.

rohirrim TR

08-26-2005, 02:36 PM

I'd say it was was mithrand1rs turn

Butterbeer

08-26-2005, 05:11 PM

yeah he'd met gandalf before Moria.. but he (gandalf)wasn't a balrog slayer until after .. therefore he hadn't been a balrog slayer when he met him before moria cus' he only slew the balrog after Frodo and the boys ahd headed west to Lothlorien ...

hi TD! by the way - hope you are good!

Hiya BB. Yeah, I'm good thanks. It wasn't a serious answer, just a light hearted one.

Valandil

08-27-2005, 08:16 AM

I think it was Glorfindel.

Mithrand1r - since you answered this, go ahead and give the next question.

However - I don't think we should allow questions like this. The information about Glorfindel having killed a Balrog is not in FotR - so I don't think it's a valid question (and even then... you have to get into the question of whether or not he was INDEED the same Glorfindel, etc... :p ).

So - let's keep all questions from the book, henceforth.

Sounds like a good idea.

My question:

Where do people go if they wanted "peace and quiet"?

rohirrim TR

08-28-2005, 05:19 PM

the room of poetry and reflection in rivendell

mithrand1r

08-28-2005, 05:51 PM

the room of poetry and reflection in rivendell

That is a very good guess.

Unfortunately I was thinking of another place. If noone else guesses the answer I am looking for you may get to ask the next question.

Telcontar_Dunedain

08-29-2005, 03:57 AM

Er, I'm probably wrong but is it "the good tilled earth?"

Rivendell?

mithrand1r

09-01-2005, 01:26 PM

Rivendell?

Good guess, but not what I was looking for.

I will give my answer tonight about 10PM EDT (New York Time) if the correct answer is not given.

mithrand1r

09-02-2005, 12:17 AM

Sounds like a good idea.

My question:

Where do people go if they wanted "peace and quiet"?

My answer is the house in Crickhollow.

I wish to apologize to all by my use of quotes around "peace and quiet".

It has been a little while since I read this chapter. I could have sworn that "peace and quiet" were specifically mentioned regarding the house in Crickhollow.

From my version of LOTR, pg. 98 A Conspiracy Unmasked.

It had been built a long while before by the Brandybucks, for use of guests, or members of the family that wished to escape from the crowded life of Brandy Hall for a time.

I still consider my answer valid, but I should not have used quotes around peace and quiet. Again I apologize for any inconvienience.

rohirrim TR, I want you to get the next question.

rohirrim TR

I actually just didn't have a book with me

Spock

09-05-2005, 11:47 PM

While R-TR is technically correct after verification, the Poster of the question gave the right to answer to C while Lotesse got the exact type of mirror . IF C has not responded to the messages sent and to these posts then I feel it is quite fair, after three days to let Lotesse post the next question. So, if no question or reply from C by Tuesday morning, forge ahead.

Spock

09-06-2005, 10:52 AM

Lotesse, go ahead and post the next question, if you'll be so kind. :evil:

Lotesse

09-06-2005, 02:29 PM

O.K., easy one...

Who has "seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree?"

Curubethion

09-06-2005, 08:44 PM

Umm...a fox, I think...

Lotesse

09-06-2005, 09:31 PM

That is correct! A fox it was. Take it away, C! :)

Curubethion

09-06-2005, 09:33 PM

What does the ring-script say? (Black Speech, please, not English)

"Ash Nag- azsh-azh nahg-" oh, dammit, someone else do this one.

Geographically, GPS type answer, where was Galadriels Mirror located.

They didn't have the Global Positioning System in Middle-Earth, silly goose! :D

Spock

09-11-2005, 01:23 PM

They didn't have the Global Positioning System in Middle-Earth, silly goose! :D

Oh, yeah, that's the Middle East. :D

I'm looking for an accurate description of the location and so the metaphor GPS was introduced to assist understanding. That's about as lyrical as I can get now. Off to watch Woody Allen.

Geographically, GPS type answer, where was Galadriels Mirror located.
The southern slopes of Caras Galadhon, through a hedge, down a long flight of step, into a deep green hollow, upon a pedestal. I'm not certain about the actual coordinates, tho. :D I don't think they get satellite pick-up in Middle Earth, but I could be wrong...

You're very close, rohirrim tr, but it needs to be more precise...

rohirrim TR

09-13-2005, 09:27 PM

pardon me
it was a brooch that was shaped like a blue butterfly,and tom stopped singing for about thirty seconds to sound really profound and said (and i am paraphrasing here) "fair was the one who wore this once, DANG IT rescuing hobbits made me forget to take out the trash,*gasps "and Goldberry is spring cleaning,.. *thinks hard " i'll take her this for a present, and get some beer on the way home *smiles and starts singing again. BTW this may not neceasarily be my final answer. :D :D
