Fellowship Trivia II

[Lotesse]

The trivia question HAS to be directly gleaned from a passage or sentence contained explicitly in FotR; it cannot be something you've just thought of, even though that IS a good question. You've got to know exactly where to reference it to within the FotR. Just to make that clear. Now I'm going to go look through my book and try to find the answer to this question. But please make sure your questions are directly taken from within the pages of FotR, o.k.? :)

[durinsbane2244]

than no, i take it back, because it can't be found directly in FotR text, and i forfeit my turn to Lotesse for being very prompt and on-the-ball in this thread...

[Spock]

Good, that saved me an intervention :)

[durinsbane2244]

er...yay...

[Lotesse]

Who was the chief counsellor of Elrond's household?

[durinsbane2244]

er...elrond?

[Lotesse]

um... No. :D

[Serenoli]

Glorfindel?

[Lotesse]

Not he! :)

[durinsbane2244]

gandalf?

[Lotesse]

Nyet! Read the question carefully; I am very precise when I make questions, so if you've got your book handy, using my question & seeking the answer it'll be there... :)

[mithrand1r]

Who was the chief counsellor of Elrond's household?
It was that elf. You know whats his name. ;)

Actually, I think his name was Erestor, the long-eared Christmas donkey. :D

[Lotesse]

Indeed! :D That's the donkey! It's all yours, Mithrand1r. :)

[mithrand1r]

Indeed! :D That's the donkey! It's all yours, Mithrand1r. :)

Thanks.

Who felt that the Company was too naked?

[Acalewia]

Boromir?

[mithrand1r]

Boromir?

Good guess, but not correct.

[durinsbane2244]

legolas?

[mithrand1r]

legolas?

Good guess, but not correct.

[durinsbane2244]

gimli?

[mithrand1r]

gimli?

Good guess, but not correct.

(I think there are only about fifty more names to go through in LOTR:FOTR. ;))

[durinsbane2244]

i'll keep trying then...galadriel? celeborn? gandalf? aragorn? frodo? bilbo? sam? merry? pippin? elrond? tom? butterbeer [lol]?

[mithrand1r]

i'll keep trying then...galadriel? celeborn? gandalf? aragorn? frodo? bilbo? sam? merry? pippin? elrond? tom? butterbeer [lol]?

Is that your final answer? ;) [:p] (:-Þ)

[durinsbane2244]

if it's right it is...

[Lotesse]

Maybe Galadriel...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Sam.

[mithrand1r]

Sam.

Sam is the correct answer.

(From their trip down the river.)

durinsbane2244 did have the correct answer first (his correct reply came with about 11 other names.)

I was hoping to have him narrow down his reply to a single name, (otherwise this could lead to people replying to questions with a laundrylist of names/places/etc.) with my reply.

Telcontar_Dunedain was the first to definitively state Sam as the correct answer.

I am inclined to say that Telcontar_Dunedain should go next, if that is fine with everyone. If not then I would like Spock (or whomever is in charge of this topic) to make a ruling on this.

[Lotesse]

You guys, it would TOTally be TD's turn! Answering tons of answers like that is just akin to when we sometimes do little joke answers - not real answers, not to be treated as such. Right, Spock? I'd say, it's totally Telcontar Dunedain's turn. :)

[Spock]

You guys, it would TOTally be TD's turn! Right, Spock? I'd say, it's totally Telcontar Dunedain's turn. :)

AND

I am inclined to say that Telcontar_Dunedain should go next, if that is fine with everyone. If not then I would like Spock (or whomever is in charge of this topic) to make a ruling on this.

I would tend to agree it is TD's turn. :cool:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Will post tomorrow because its lat and I need to go to bed.

[durinsbane2244]

yea...i agree...i love being dirty though...

[Spock]

Lotesse or DB....please post a question as this has stalled.

[Lotesse]

I will! :)

At Tom and Goldberry's house, what kind of wood was burning in the hearth, to impart such a sweet smell?

[mithrand1r]

I will! :)

At Tom and Goldberry's house, what kind of wood was burning in the hearth, to impart such a sweet smell?

Old man willow. ;)

[durinsbane2244]

hehehe...

[mithrand1r]

Old man willow. ;)

How about applewood. This must be sweeter burning than Old Man Willow.

[Lotesse]

Indeed! That's it - take it away, Mithrand1r! :)

[mithrand1r]

Indeed! That's it - take it away, Mithrand1r! :)

Thanks.

Who was too careless on the Hilltop?

[durinsbane2244]

sam?

[mithrand1r]

sam?

Good guess, but incorrect.

It is a good thing I did not use Sam as the answer to my question twice in a row. ;)

[clep_web]

Aragorn?

[mithrand1r]

Aragorn?

Correct.

Bonus if you can tell us who thought Aragorn was too careless on the Hilltop.

Regardless, it is your turn.

[durinsbane2244]

ah, ok, i thought charging the witch king...aragorn left them...k...

[mithrand1r]

ah, ok, i thought charging the witch king...aragorn left them...k...

Close (location in book) regarding the bonus question.

[durinsbane2244]

what, he left them in that little cave?

[mithrand1r]

what, he left them in that little cave?

No. Please reread the bonus question:

Bonus if you can tell us who thought Aragorn was too careless on the Hilltop.

I am looking for a specific person that thought Aragorn was too careless on the hilltop.

When I said that you were close (location in the book) i meant the answer to the bunus question could be found near the part with the witch king.

clep_web,

When ever you are ready you may give us your trivia question.

[durinsbane2244]

oh, oh, oh! ok...no idea then...

[clep_web]

I thought Aragorn himself said he thought he was too careless. ;)

In Gandalf's letter to Frodo, how many postscripts were there?

[Serenoli]

was it 3?

[mithrand1r]

I thought Aragorn himself said he thought he was too careless. ;)

In Gandalf's letter to Frodo, how many postscripts were there?

Correct. It was aragorn.

[mithrand1r]

was it 3?

I think there was only one.

PS. = Postscript

The other 2 were
PPS. = Post Postscript
PPPS. = Post Post Postscript

[Acalewia]

I think there was only one.

PS. = Postscript

The other 2 were
PPS. = Post Postscript
PPPS. = Post Post Postscript

I would say those should count. They are still postscripts. imo

[clep_web]

Well, I was thinking the answer was 3 so Serenoli gets it anyway.

But that's an interesting point, mithrand1r. I'll ask my English teacher sometime about it.

[mithrand1r]

was it 3?

By clep_web ruling it is your turn.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year. May the new year be better than the old year for each and everyone of us. :)

[Serenoli]

Happy New Year!

ok, here's a question... what name did Bilbo know Strider by?

[Spock]

I didn't remember Bilbo ever meeting Strider until I thought of the Council meeting. He called him "Dunadan".

[Serenoli]

Yes, your go spock! :)

[Spock]

...who said, in part....."let us now laugh and be glad"


Happy New Year......not part of the answer :D

[Lotesse]

Was it Celeborn at Lothlorien when the Hobbits came that time?

[Spock]

I'm afraid not. :)

[mithrand1r]

...who said, in part....."let us now laugh and be glad"


Happy New Year......not part of the answer :D

I did in part. ;)

I think Tom Bombadil was the one.

[Spock]

Nope.

[Serenoli]

maybe... Elrond?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Gloin?

[Spock]

Neither. :(

[brownjenkins]

if it isn't tom, how about goldberry?

[Spock]

if it isn't tom,

and I've already verified that

how about goldberry?

yes indeedy, your go!

[brownjenkins]

who would have Aragorn chosen to accompany Frodo into Mordor if things had gone differently?

[Spock]

Regis Philpin :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Himself, Sam and Gimli?

[brownjenkins]

correct TD!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

According to Aragorn how many miles do his and Frodo's paths lie together?

[Spock]

many.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct. Your go Spock.

[Spock]

What Day of the week was "the party".? :rolleyes:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Thursday?

[mithrand1r]

What Day of the week was "the party".? :rolleyes:

Thursday, September 22 ( I am assuming you mean bilbo's fare well party.)

[Spock]

Thursday, September 22 ( I am assuming you mean bilbo's fare well party.)

1. The question asked for the day, not the date. :rolleyes:

2. There is only one party in FOTR. :confused:

3. "TD" You are correct. :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I take it you mean me, since I answered before Mithrand1r.
What was the first word we 'heard' Tom speak?

[Acalewia]

hey?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct. Your go Acalewia.

[Serenoli]

Correct. Your go Acalewia.

That means you, Acalewia!! Its your turn to give the question... and I'm an impatient girl... :rolleyes:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

If she oesn't post within the next 24 hours then some else can post.

[Spock]

FYI, I sent a PM earlier today.

[Acalewia]

Sorry guys. My internet was down

How did Frodo know Strider could be trusted?

[durinsbane2244]

because he bore the blade of isildur and he said he knew gandalf?

[Serenoli]

Because Frodo got a letter from Gandalf and there was a poem about Strider, part of which he quoted to Frodo, without looking at the letter. So he knew Strider was really Aragorn, Gandalf's friend and could thus be trusted!

[Acalewia]

Very good! Your go, Serenoli!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I could have sworn I posted an answer in here yesterday. Wasn't it because he felt fair but looked foul. It was mentioned after the letter, but Frodo said thats what he thought before he opened the letter.

[Spock]

Three days and Serenoli hasn't been back. TD I'd give you the nod, unless someone else want to post?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay. Name all the Hobbit families that Bilbo mentioned in his party speech.

[Serenoli]

Oh, dear, I'm so sorry I forgot I was supposed to give the question here. Anyway, mostly I remember the Bagginses and Proudfoots. Also, Boffins and Tooks and Brandybucks.

[Lotesse]

Plus, Bolgers & Bracegirdles, Grubbs & Chubbs...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

All correct so far. 4 left.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

burrowses, hornblowers, goodbodies, brockhouses are the missing 4 i believe

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

That is correct, your go Chrys. Good to see you back in the Trivia threads.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

what was the weather like, specifically, when the fellowship set off from elrond's house near the end of december?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Windy and Cloudy, or do you want more specific than that.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

specific words, if you please :D

you know better than that :D :D ;)

[Spock]

"It was a cold grey day near the end of December. T he East Wind was streaming through the bare branches of the trees and seething in the dark pines on the hills." :D :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

correct

[Spock]

where would you find a hythe of white stones and white wood? :confused:

[Landroval]

On the bank of Siverlode (before the joining of the streams).

[Spock]

On the bank of Siverlode (before the joining of the streams).


Indeed! :)

[Landroval]

Before Isildur renounced the ruling of the Southern Kingdom, where did he go and who joined him?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

he went to Oz, and the tin man went with him

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Osgiliath and his sons?

[Landroval]

Osgiliath and his sons?
A bit further from Gondor; that person wasn't his son, but still part of his family.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay then, Melendil and Imladris?

[Landroval]

Melendil it is; the location is westward of Osgiliath.

[Serenoli]

west of Osgiliath... that must be Minas Tirith, or as it was called then, Minas Anor. I know he went there once, because Gandalf found some writings on the Ring by Isildur there.

[Landroval]

Minas Anor it is

Well... then I guess you are next ;)

[Serenoli]

What are the two pieces of advice given by the Old gaffer that Sam quotes in the Fellowship?

[Serenoli]

Apparently, that was too tough... ok, so let me give something else.

What was the last battle fought in the Shire before the story begins?

[Spock]

The battle of baywater?

[King of The Istari]

is that the one where Bilbo's relative invented Polo? or was it golf?

[Spock]

hmmm, The Battle of Greenfields, S.R. 1147. :)

[Serenoli]

Golf, I think :D

Spocko, its your go!

[Spock]

Belated thanks. My computer crashed and is only marginally operative today.

After passing out of the city of the elves, how many miles had the company travelled by noon?

[durinsbane2244]

er, many? he he he...

[Spock]

er, many? he he he...


Nope :(, and BTW, that's my line :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Haven't got a clue so I'll have a guess. 20?

[Spock]

Haven't got a clue so I'll have a guess. 20?


Sorry, wrong guess.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Could you give us some clues eg. higher/lower.

[Spock]

Could you give us some clues eg. higher/lower.

Actually since this is straight forward questioning and in the book as opposed to those difficult things in appendix and movie trivia; nope. :)

[durinsbane2244]

oooh...hardcore...not really...but spockish, yes, spockish...

[Serenoli]

Could you give us some clues eg. higher/lower.

lower; in fact, its half the value you gave... eh, spock?? :)

[Acalewia]

Leagues or miles?

[durinsbane2244]

10 leagues?

[Spock]

Nope.

The answer is in the book, go there if necessary.

[Serenoli]

I thought I got the answer already, but if you're going to be so nit-picky :rolleyes:

its in miles.

[Serenoli]

I thought I got the answer already, but if you're going to be so nit-picky :rolleyes:

Its in miles. I mean the question is 'how many miles..." :p Where do leagues come in?

[mithrand1r]

I thought I got the answer already, but if you're going to be so nit-picky :rolleyes:

Its in miles. I mean the question is 'how many miles..." :p Where do leagues come in?

Ten miles.

(Thanks to Serenoli for the assist, assuming Serenoli's hint is good.)

Leagues come into play in the spring with the start of Baseball. ;)

[Serenoli]

hint? When I said half Td's value, I meant 10 miles.... I suppose i should have been more explicit. But its upto Spock, who he awards it to.

[Spock]

The question has NOT been answered.

As I'm only on line ONCE for 9 min per day to try to avoid virus, etc. until my system is semi-protected again, If no one guesses this by tomorrow a.m. then I'll toss it for a new question.

[Lotesse]

Look, you guys, here it is - the straightforward question --



After passing out of the city of the elves, how many miles had the company travelled by noon?

And then the answer is:"They had gone some ten miles and noon was at hand when they came on a high green wall." -from Farewell to Lorien.

So, as Mithrand1r and Serenoli said, TEN MILES!! Has not this question been answered, Spock? Or is it still incorrect? :confused: :)

[Spock]

Look, you guys, here it is - the straightforward question --
BLESS YOU LOTESSE :)


And then the answer is:"They had gone some ten miles and noon was at hand when they came on a high green wall." -from Farewell to Lorien.

So, as Mithrand1r and Serenoli said, TEN MILES!! Has not this question been answered, Spock? Or is it still incorrect? :confused: :)


DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, I TOTALLY MISSED SERENOLI **FINALLY** STATING THE DISTANCE IN MILES...............SO EITHER SHE OR YOU CAN POST THE NEXT QUESTION....I'm still trying to get my systems to work properly..............oh, and I'll be away for three days so, try to smile.

[Spock]

QUICK ONE

Who said and about what?...


who knows what you will find there, if ever you return? ......

[Acalewia]

Gandalf on Moria? :confused:

[Spock]

Nopel. :(

[mithrand1r]

QUICK ONE

Who said and about what?...


who knows what you will find there, if ever you return? ......

Galadriel to Sam about his vision in the mirror of galadriel. (IIRC sam asked about the shire and Galadriel said in part who knows what you will find there, if ever you return? .......)

[Spock]

No, sorry. :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Aragorn and the Shire?

[Spock]

Aragorn and the Shire?


Please re-read the question:


Who said and about what?...


who knows what you will find there, if ever you return? ......

only 50% to go :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Yes. Aragorn said it and about the Shire. Or so I guess.

[Spock]

Yes. Aragorn said it and about the Shire. Or so I guess.

Well, perhaps, but I'm unaware of where he said this about that.

I'm looking at my book and who and what are different than you state and since I'm the questioner, I must await the correct input.

If you have the exact quote, tell me where.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

It was a guess. Its just that you said that I only gave 50% of the answer.

[Spock]

Please re-read the question:

Who said and about what?...

who knows what you will find there, if ever you return? ......

only 50% to go :p

means you got 50% correct and need the other 50% to win.
:D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

OH, I thought you meant that I had only given half an answer.

[Serenoli]

Was it Aragorn about Rohan?

[Spock]

Was it Aragorn about Rohan?


YESsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssss :D :D :D :D ;)

[Serenoli]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooook.....

Here's my question:

"Which river does the Last Bridge cross, and what other name is it also known by?"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Brunien and Loudwater?

[Serenoli]

No, Bruinen has no bridge, and Loudwater is the other name for the river Bruinen.

I think my question may be a bit unclear. I want you to give me:
a)the name of the river over which the Last Bridge is built
b)the other name of the Last Bridge.

[Spock]

a.k.a. The Bridge of Mitheithel.

the Glandum (a.k.a. the Gwathlo) which is tributary of the Bruinen.
and
The Mitheithel itself which crossed under the Bridge named after it.

[Serenoli]

Spock, you have got the name of the Bridge correct, :) but not the river. You got the Elvish name for the river correct, though.

BTW, I also believe Bruinen is a tributary of the Gwathlo, not the other way around.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Greyflood?

[Serenoli]

Nope :(

[durinsbane2244]

[taking a wild chance] the river anduin?

[Serenoli]

Wild chance? ... yes. Correct answer?... no.

[-elfearz-]

..it was the hoarwell wasn't it
(if that's right, Spock can go - I hadn't the slightest idea what the Elvish name for the Last Bridge was :))

[Serenoli]

Yes, you're right. Then, Spock can go, unless elfearz changes his/her mind.

[durinsbane2244]

so....either of them....

[Spock]

ok, who liked "a brooch set with blue stones"? :confused:

[Serenoli]

Tom Bombadil?

[Spock]

Tom Bombadil?

Why, yes, actually. ;)

[Serenoli]

What name did the Hobbits give to the Great Bear?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The Sickle?

[mithrand1r]

What name did the Hobbits give to the Great Bear?

the plough (sp?)

the plow (sp?)

I hope you know what I am trying to spell. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Valacirca

[Spock]

Yogi. :)

[mithrand1r]

Yogi. :)

Ranger Smith wouldn't like that Yogi. ;)

[Serenoli]

Telcontar, you've got it.

BTW, is Yogi the greedy bear? I remember seeing a cartoon like that years ago...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Boromir said he would not go unless what happened?

[mithrand1r]

Boromir said he would not go unless what happened?
Paraphrasing "the whole party voted against him."

Yogi, was a cartoon bear from Hanna Barbara in the late 1950s and/or early 1960s.

He lived in JellyStone park.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct, your go Mithran1r.

[mithrand1r]

Correct, your go Mithran1r.

Thanks.

Who was found speaking at the Ivy Bush and what was being discussed.

[Spock]

wasn't that Moses?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

ted snadyman and a walking tree

[mithrand1r]

wasn't that Moses?

I think you are refering to the burning bush. ;)

Last Child of Ungoliant,

I was thinking of another person, but I will need to check my sources. You may have a valid answer.

If there are no other guesses and your answer is valid, you will get the next question.

(for now I would like to wait for some more tries from the moot.)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Was it Gaffer Gamgee talking about Bilbo and Frodo?

[mithrand1r]

Was it Gaffer Gamgee talking about Bilbo and Frodo?

Yes. I was looking for the Gaffer.

Your turn.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

According to Pippin, what should Merry mind?

[Spock]

his tongue?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[mithrand1r]

According to Pippin, what should Merry mind?
IIRC, "His P's and Q's".

[-elfearz-]

I thought that Merry told the others to mind their Ps & Qs, and then Pip said something like "Mind yourself"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Mithrand1r is correct.

[mithrand1r]

Mithrand1r is correct.

Thanks. I can not give a question at the moment, but if it is OK with everyone else, I can have a question either later tonight or tomorrow morning. (GMT-5)

[Spock]

Thanks. I can not give a question at the moment, but if it is OK with everyone else, I can have a question either later tonight or tomorrow morning. (GMT-5)

We await your input. :cool:

[mithrand1r]

We await your input. :cool:

Thanks for your patience.

In the Fellowship of the Rings: What has two wings, but does not fly?

(PS. A Balrog is not a correct answer. ;))

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Thanks for your patience.

In the Fellowship of the Rings: What has two wings, but does not fly?

(PS. A Balrog is not a correct answer. ;))
a balrog? :p ;)

[mithrand1r]

a balrog? :p ;)

Next answer, please. :)

LCOU,

We will need to send you to a dark corner (for weaving webs of course) for that answer. ;)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

is it the ptancing pony?

[mithrand1r]

is it the ptancing pony?

No. it is not the the ptancing pony.

You may go, since I am sure that you meant to spell the correct answer: the prancing pony.

:p :p :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

well thank you! :p

right ok so, erm from where does Gildor hail?

[Spock]

Well, Gildor I., lived in Rivendell.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

rivendell is one of the two answers i would have accepted, nargothrond being the other, your turn spock

[Spock]

After passing through a high green wall , what was it the fellowship came upon? :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Cerin Amroth?

[Spock]

:evil: Nyet! :evil: it's in there, keep looking

[Serenoli]

Mebbe the Old Forest? I remember some tall hedge they had to pass... could count as a green wall.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The House of Tom Bombadil?

[Spock]

no, nope, nyet, nine :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Caras Galadhon?

[Lotesse]

Is it Farmer Maggot's house?

[Spock]

Sadly, no one has gotten it yet. :(

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

erm, the old forest?

[Spock]

sadly, no.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Do you want the place name or what they saw?

[Spock]

After passing through a high green wall , what was it the fellowship came upon? :confused:


What did they come upon.
What did they see.
Description.

How's that? :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Came upon Caras Galadhon as I said before.
They saw mallor trees taller than any they'd seen before and they saw many tiered branches and countless light.

How's that? ;)

[Spock]

NO, NO, nope. ......it's very explicit and in the book....sorry.

[Serenoli]

They came upon a deep lane between the ends of the wall?

[Spock]

not quite. if no one guesses by this evening, I'll award the next question and just put this one aside.

[Spock]

Rough visit to the Chiropractor; I'll be done in for the rest of the day/night and so ask that TD post the next question.

Thanks all.

[Spock]

they had gone some ten miles and noon was at hand when they came on a high green wall. Passing through an opening they came suddely out of the trees. Before them lay a long lawn of shining grass, studded with golden elanor that glinted in the sun.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

After rescuing Sam from the Great River, what did Frodo tell Sam not to do?

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Not to follow him or to despair?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[Acalewia]

Not to do that again? :p

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[Udukhaturz]

"Don't pinch, lad!"

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct. Your go Udu. Good to see you back. You staying permanently?

[Udukhaturz]

Thanks, TD. I certainly enjoy active trivia games on the books, so I think I will stay a while for that. Here is my question:

The last time that Bilbo and Gandalf were talking in Shire, Gandalf became alarmed when Bilbo referred to the Ring as what?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

My precious.

[Udukhaturz]

TD, that was fast! A person would have to get up early in the morning to stay ahead of you in book questions. Next question is yours.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did Boromir ask Elrond to give him?

[Udukhaturz]

This is probably wrong, but permission to speak more about Gondor?
