Fellowship Trivia II

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

ok, with the original now at 102 pages, the committee have decided to create a new one - same rules as before...

and i believe it is my turn...

Just north of the brandywine bridge there is an island on the river, what is this island called?

[Lenya]

Annuminas? or am I way off?

[Spock]

Girdley Island, although I confess I couldn't find it in the book but rather on a map I have.

I'll check back Monday to see what ye ha to say.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

girdley isle is correct spock

annuminas is soo waaay off, lenya ;)

[Spock]

OK, easy one; give me another name for the Museum at Michel Delving.

[Radagast The Brown]

Mathom?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

the mathom house?

[Pytt]

The Mathom-House :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

the house of mathoms :p;)

[Spock]

the mathom house?

Actually you were the first although I suspect by your use of italics you weren't sure but never the less, you were correct. You now select the next intellectual challenge.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

what should frodo not try?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

what should frodo not try?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

To 'speak' to the bearers of the three by wearing the Ring.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

nop, think earlier

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

To generally wear the Ring.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

nope :p, the "Don't try!" is a specific quote :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I'm pretty sure Galadriel said "Don't try, it would ruin you".

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

maybe but i am a pain in the backside :p

"Don't try!" as a specific command given to frodo :D:D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Okay then. To say thank you to Bilbo.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Okay then. To say thank you to Bilbo.
yes, that was quick...

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What are Men and hobbit's as different as?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

chalk and cheese

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Nope.

[Radagast The Brown]

peas and apples?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct. Your go.

[Lenya]

peas and apples?

Where does that come from? The answer I mean.

[Radagast The Brown]

I think it's by Bilbo, in Rivendell. (after the song about Earendil)

A rather easy one since I don't have much time - What's the name of the river that passes in the Old Forest?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

The Withywindle

[Radagast The Brown]

Correct. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

On what kind of days did the elves lead Gollum through the wood?

[Spock]

.."in days of fair weather"

[Spock]

Hey Guys, Five Days Have Passed....anyone Awake.....am I Right....of Course

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

you may as well go, TD is away this week

[Spock]

Earendil was given a new ship made of what; exactly please.

[Spock]

...The two Ronnies....hysterical telly....I've not seen them in decades.

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

...The two Ronnies....hysterical telly....I've not seen them in decades.
every friday in uk bbc1, 9-10 pm :D :D
keeping up appearances, haven't seen that in almost a whole year!
The Bouquet residence, the lady of the house speaking

[Spock]

Mrs. Bucket, err Bouqet is on BBCA here once a week at minimum. That along with Are You Being Served and the old folks one with Lionel ? ...well you may know...anyway that's all we see here.

[Spock]

Earendil was given a new ship made of what; exactly please.

we've gone off track so here it is again.

[Radagast The Brown]

Wood? :p Or do you want a specific kind of wood?

[Spock]

Nope Radagast, wood nor any type is wrong. :(

[Radagast The Brown]

Fine, you made me check. :)

Mithril and crystal?

[Spock]

Fine, you made me check. :)

Mithril and crystal?

Well you did your research. The Mithril is correct and the second ingredient is elven-glass but I'll give it to you since you worked so hard . :D YUGO

[Radagast The Brown]

Well you did your research. The Mithril is correct and the second ingredient is elven-glass but I'll give it to you since you worked so hard . :D YUGOHehe... :D

Gandalf gives an example of what the Elves did with Mithril. What is it?

[Spock]

Well six days and no reply. Personally I've been out of it w/Rx and haven't looked. RTB, you decide whether to change the question or give us mere mortals a few days more. :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Sure, a few more days for you to get it. Don't mind if you look it up.. :)

[Spock]

..thanks, and a great quote RTB...the world should Never Forget!

[Radagast The Brown]

..thanks, and a great quote RTB...the world should Never Forget!Indeed. Yet it seems to start forgetting... :(

[Spock]

The History Channel over here has been showing what happened on the dates matching current dates, and just finshed the week with Buchenwald and Belger Berson )not sure on last spelling). Eisenhower had as many local in and media from all over to see and make sure no one ever forgot. Yet with all this in their faces, signs are rising in parts of Germany and France once more. Never give in, never surrender and never stop being vigilant.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Hehe... :D

Gandalf gives an example of what the Elves did with Mithril. What is it?
Ithildin?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

[o/t]Bergen-Belsen, spock[/o/t]

[Radagast The Brown]

Yes, Ithildin is correct Telcontar..

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What did the orc who stabbed Frodo fall with?

[Spock]

What did the orc who stabbed Frodo fall with?



Can you check this please, as I don't remember Frodo being stabbed by an Orc in FOTR. :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

In Balin's tomb.

[Radagast The Brown]

Didn't Aragorn kill him? Or do you mean something else?

[Spock]

Can you check this please, as I don't remember Frodo being stabbed by an Orc in FOTR. :confused:

Frodo wasn't stabbed. He was speared. Aaragorn clove the helm of the orc in two. Does that correct and give answer to the question? :confused:

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I was looking for the cloven helm part. Your go Spock.

[Spock]

A carefully worded question

Which of the Shire folk first saw the ring, give the location and time period.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Bilbo, Misty Mountains, 2941 TA.

[Spock]

ouch, you got me on a tecnicality....I didn't word it as I wished..BUT HEY UGO :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I take it you meant the Merry incident then!

How many nights could Sam remember in Lothlorien?

[Spock]

..three?

[Pytt]

Just one.

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Spock is correct.

[Spock]

wow, I can't believe I guessed correctly....my brain does work sometimes. lol


When did Gandalf write to Frodo?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Midsummers Day 3018?

[Spock]

nope.

[Radagast The Brown]

July 5th?

[Spock]

incorrectomundo.

[Spock]

**three days and no one gets it*** :(

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Mudsummers eve?

[Spock]

:( nope.

[Radagast The Brown]

Is it anywhere in June? :p

[Spock]

RTB, you're getting warmer :)

[Radagast The Brown]

Oh, I meant to say July. :D Well, that helps.. eh, June 25th?

[Spock]

hmmmm, no but you have the right time of year. I'll give it another day before giving up once again.

[Spock]

[SIZE=3]hmmmm, no but you have the right time of year. I'll give it another day before giving up once again.

I'm removing the question as no one got it, again

R.T.B. you at least were in the "right neighborhood" so if you please, YOU may post the next question. :cool:

[Spock]

I'm removing the question as no one got it, again

[SIZE=5]R.T.B. you at least were in the "right neighborhood" so if you please, YOU may post the next question. [SIZE=5]:cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

Sorry..

Ehm. What 'no living hobbit (save Bilbo)' could remember?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

gandalf's previous fireworks display, for the old took?

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope. (not the exact quote anyway- but I do remember something similar)

[durinsbane2244]

bilbos 10th birthday

probly not what u wanted, but right anyway. . . .

[durinsbane2244]

Muah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Radagast The Brown]

Nope. As said I'm looking for that quote, mentioned in hte question.. So, since Bilbo's 10th birthday is not even mentioned -you're quite wrong. :p

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

when wolves invaded the north farthing?

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup. :)

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

of barliman's two assistants, which is the man, and which is the hobbit?

[durinsbane2244]

nob is a hobbit and bob is a man.

[Spock]

nob is a hobbit and bob is a man.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[durinsbane2244]

thank you! :(

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

sorry! first didn't notice it, then was at a show yesterday, and today was a day of religious observance, so was meditating - you go now db2244

[durinsbane2244]

who was elronds mother, with his full description?

[Lotesse]

Without looking it up, wasn't Elrond's mother Galadriel?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

elrond's mother was elwing, daughter of dior eluchil, who was son of beren and luthien, first union of the eldar and the edain

[durinsbane2244]

you got it, last child, your go!

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

ok, erm an easy one

what did the stranger from the west farthing say The Hill was stuffed with, in conversation with the gaffer and the miller?

[Lotesse]

Treasures, like Smaug-ish treasures, jewels and precious metals etc.?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

i am looking for one word in particular

[Ms. Undomial]

"... All the top of your hill is full of tunnels, packed with chests of gold and silver, and jools, by what I've heard."

So i guess the answer would be 'Jools'?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

"... All the top of your hill is full of tunnels, packed with chests of gold and silver, and jools, by what I've heard."

So i guess the answer would be 'Jools'?
yes, exactly the spelling i wanted :D

[Ms. Undomial]

The is probably very easy, but here it is anyway.

What is the name of the river that flows into the Nimrodel, which in turn flows into the Anduin?

[Lotesse]

We're supposed to answer purely from memory, without referring to our books, right?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

We're supposed to answer purely from memory, without referring to our books, right?
yep :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Celebrant?

[Ms. Undomial]

Correct. Your go.

[Spock]

We're supposed to answer purely from memory, without referring to our books, right?

Lotesse, LCOU has a faulty memory :D, initially memory was the idea but in reality as the questions got harder, using the books was permitted. I know most of us here have used that method and it's ligitamate. :cool:

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

Lotesse, LCOU has a faulty memory :D, initially memory was the idea but in reality as the questions got harder, using the books was permitted. I know most of us here have used that method and it's ligitamate. :cool:
i never cheat! you mean i could all along? grarr :mad:;)

[Lotesse]

IMO, and this mind you is just my opinion, but shouldn't the trivia answers come just from recall, memory? If we can all reference books, then where's the fun, the challenge? I mean, maybe to some people it's a cheap thrill to be "right" all the time, but if it's "right" when any other sentient being with a knowledge of how to read and reference books can be "right"... it's truly kinda unfair to people like Chrys or anyone else well-versed in Tolkien from many long hours of careful, retentive reading. Othwerwise, WHAT is the point of testing one another's trivia-retention capabilities?

[Spock]

This isn't for money, it's for fun :D Some members might have more to do than to memorize the entire works of Tolkein but still retain a desire to play trivia. Believe me, the questions are good and not all are easy. Oh, and don't get me started on "sentinent beings" or we'll have to open another thread. :D :D
Some are unconscious.

[Lotesse]

Now it's Telcondar Dunedain's turn. TD, you out there?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Just an easy one- How many days did it take Gandalf to reach Weathertop from Bree?

[Lotesse]

2 days?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Correct

[Lotesse]

Wow, I got it right! Hmmm, my question is...
In Fellowship (the book), who was the first one to physically touch the Ring besides obviously Frodo who had it in his possesion already?

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Gandalf

[Lotesse]

Did Gandalf actually lay hands on the metal of the Ring? I thought he wouldn't touch it, I think I need to check my own facts. I'm thinking of someone else, it wasn't Gandalf I was thinking of - so hold on a sec, be right back -

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

tom bombadil is a merry fellow
bright blue his jacket is and his boots are yellow

[Lotesse]

Yeah, that's who I was thinking of -Tom Bombadil touched the Ring first, and had no problem with it. If you and I are correct, Chrys, then it's your turn.

[Spock]

Hey There Hi Diddle Dee, It Has Been Five Days And No Response To Lotessee,

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

what food did frodo eat with the elves in the woods above pincup?

(sorry, for sdome reason i am not getting notifications for here!)

[Spock]

bread, fruits, and a fragrant draught

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

away ye go spock
though i would have liked 'apples' instead of 'fruit' ;)

[Lotesse]

Spock? you around today?

[Spock]

away ye go spock
though i would have liked 'apples' instead of 'fruit' ;) ahh, different editions have different translations apparently.

Anway: After entering the Green Hill Country and making camp Frodo said he didn't have *what?* in his pockets. :cool:

[Spock]

Spock? you around today?
dum de dum de dum de dum :rolleyes:

[Lotesse]

Frodo said he couldn't keep water in his pockets.

[Spock]

Good going, that only took a couple of minutes. YOU go.

[Lotesse]

Thanx! Here's one:

When Tom Bombadil tried on the Ring, which finger did he put It on, and what did he do to the Ring after he tried it on?

[Spock]

His little finger.

[durinsbane2244]

Hello!!!!!!!! Anybody?!?!?!?!

[Lotesse]

Yes, Spock - your turn :)

[Spock]

:D :D Oh, goody for me :D :D

hmmm, ok, who said: " let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall" :cool:

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

elrond peredhil

[Spock]

elrond peredhil

You might as well have said "the son of Earendil and Elwing and brother of Elros.....he's just our good old Elrond of Rivendell to us folk :p

YUGO!

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

cryptic question now: who is?

[Spock]

BILL CLINTON :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

He is? :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

He is? :D
yes, but who is 'he'? ;)

[Spock]

ok guys five days now....how about some movement :D

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

right i am jus gonna give you the answer, and let spock decide who goes next...as stated by goldberry, tom bombadil 'is'!!

[Spock]

TD, will you kindly pose the next question for us as Chrys said he's leaving trivia for a while-too busy I suspect.:D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

What was given out when Gandalf arrived in the Shire?

[Spock]

Well after unloading Gandalfs wagon, Bilbo gave a few pennies out to the kids. Other than that, fireworks by G, but I don't remember them being "given".

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

No fireworks were let off, but pennies was the answer I was looking for.

[Spock]

What did Galadriel have in her hands when first seen aboard her ship?

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

a bat, in her mouth? no, wait, that's ozzy osbourne ;)

[durinsbane2244]

a needle, a pipe, a joint, some powder, a small packet of "baking soda", "tylonal", a "coca-cola", some "special k", some "drugs that are used by middle-earth dwelling creatures that I can't think of a food to represent", or maybe, just maybe, it was a gun, than again, maybe "not". . . . . . .

[Lotesse]

A harp which she used to do her goodbye song for the Fellowship.

[Spock]

A harp which she used to do her goodbye song for the Fellowship.


INDEED. YUGO! :cool:

[durinsbane2244]

come on, 3 days!

[Spock]

she's been notified and hopefully will post the next question on Sat. if not, I'll appoint somone to do that. :cool:

[Lotesse]

Sorry for the long delay, guys! I hardly ever get to get on my boyfriend's laptop -
What are Arwen's brothers names?

[Radagast The Brown]

Eladan and Elrohir?

[Butterbeer]

Elladan and Elrohir?
:D

[durinsbane2244]

what they said?

[Lotesse]

Radagast and Butterbeer are both right, but Butterbeer spelled the names correctly, so... it's all yours, Butterbeer.

[Butterbeer]

well i cheated: i was only joking with the spelling thing : it'd be a tad wierd if i becvame a spell-freak! Let Radagast do it: ( thanks btw but i don't know what i would be supposed to do anyhow)

best BB

[Lotesse]

Radagast, you want to post a question?

[Radagast The Brown]

Right.. What's another name for the "Sickle", that "was swinging bright above the shoulders of Bree-hill"?

[Lotesse]

The moon?

[Spock]

bus stop sign for the # 23 bus :D

[mithrand1r]

Right.. What's another name for the "Sickle", that "was swinging bright above the shoulders of Bree-hill"?

The Big Dipper or Ursa Major

[Radagast The Brown]

Yup. Your turn. (mithrandir)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Great Plough

[Spock]

SIX DAYS AND NO RESPONSE..................WAKE UP EVERYONE :cool:

[Radagast The Brown]

It's Mithrand1r's turn, but if he isn't here I suppose TD can take it...

[Spock]

Yes, and another day has passed. Go ahead RTB, you and I are awake, I think. ;)

[mithrand1r]

Yes, and another day has passed. Go ahead RTB, you and I are awake, I think. ;)

Apologies about that. Go ahead RTB. I cannot think of a good question anyway.

[Radagast The Brown]

Fine. :p But I don't understand why I am the one who's punished. :D

How do Elves cross the Northern part of the Celebrant?

[durinsbane2244]

the rope.

[Radagast The Brown]

the rope.That's not a really good answer to 'how'. :p The hobbits used ropes too.

[Lotesse]

They strung a rope across the river and tight-walked it to the other side, didn't they?

[Spock]

How do Elves cross the Northern part of the Celebrant?[/QUOTE]


They do it like Special Forces do. One rope across tied to a tree, then two more, one tied shoulder height and the other half as high. You hold on to those as you walk across the first rope.

[Radagast The Brown]

Spock, that's how the fellowship crossed not the elves..

Lotesse it'sa your turn..

[Spock]

Well I knew someone crossed that way. :D

[Lotesse]

Allll righty then...

What was Tom Bombadil's Elvish name, the name Gandalf refers to him by?

[Spock]

It think it was "something" ben...something....ratz my brain is misted over. Oh well, I tried. :)

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Iarwin Ban-Adar?

[Lotesse]

Well, TD, you've pretty much got it, except for a slight spelling error.

[Spock]

..oh well if spelling doesn't count, how about "fatty owls" :D

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

I am with out books at the moment so Spock can take it, as it was him that reminded me of the answer.

[Spock]

How much did Merry get for the animals from Butterbur? :rolleyes:

[Lotesse]

Was it a tenth of their actual worth? Wait, maybe that was Bill Ferny charged them ten times Bill's worth for Bill the pony... sorry, don't know

[Butterbeer]

well speaking for my ...er.. namesake

sorry haven't a clue .... i didn't sleep a wink the night before ;) ... (my namesake of course .. )

lotesse ... please refer to the post in venting thread ;)

[Spock]

L-your brain may be shorting out but it's picking up the right clues...keep trying

[Lotesse]

No, Ferny charged them three times' the pony's worth for Bill the Pony; as for how much Butterbeer gave the hobbits to recompense for their own ponies' running off, can't remember...

[mithrand1r]

No, Ferny charged them three times' the pony's worth for Bill the Pony; as for how much Butterbeer gave the hobbits to recompense for their own ponies' running off, can't remember...

I think it was 30 silver pennies. IIRC.

[Spock]

I think it was 30 silver pennies. IIRC.

Well I don't know what "IIRC" is but the answer is correct. :cool:

Yugo!

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

If I Recall Correctly. :)

[Spock]

T.y.

[mithrand1r]

Well I don't know what "IIRC" is but the answer is correct. :cool:

Yugo!

Ironic that the amount was 30 silver pennies. Thirty pieces of silver was the price paid for betraying Jesus Christ. (I guess this can be saved for another thread, if one was not already started yet.)

Where did Lóni fall?

[durinsbane2244]

good point spock, i never noticed. though it wasnt really a betrayel payment, but tolkien was a devout catholic(dum dum duuuuuuh). . .

[Lotesse]

wow, that IS a good point, you guys; that's a trip! I never thought of that... I wouldn't be surprised if Tolkien intentionally created that correlation.

[Spock]

Loni who? Loni Anderson I know.

[Lotesse]

Yeah, Loni who?

[Radagast The Brown]

A dwarf I suppose. From Moria.

[Lotesse]

That name DOES sound a bit dwarf-esque.

[mithrand1r]

Loni who? Loni Anderson I know.

I think Loni Anderson fell at WKRP in Cinncinatti. ;)

People are getting closer.

[Lotesse]

Wait - is Loni the dwarf with the nice handwriting who died while making an entry in the journal about the drums in the deep, when the remaining resistance of dwarves were in that room where Balin had his tomb, in Moria? *phew*

[mithrand1r]

Wait - is Loni the dwarf with the nice handwriting who died while making an entry in the journal about the drums in the deep, when the remaining resistance of dwarves were in that room where Balin had his tomb, in Moria? *phew*

You are getting closer. :)

Just let us know where he fell.

BTW, I think that Ori had the fine elf handwriting.

[Spock]

Ahhhh, you've jogged my memory.......Ori did have the large writing and he wrote the last of the tale. Loni fell with one other defending the bridge and the second hall.

[mithrand1r]

Ahhhh, you've jogged my memory.......Ori did have the large writing and he wrote the last of the tale. Loni fell with one other defending the bridge and the second hall.

After that, the logical thing would be to admit you are correct. ;)

I now await for your trivia question.

[Spock]

When did Frodo officially become Bilbo's heir? :rolleyes:

[Lotesse]

When he turned thirty-three, on Sept. 22 3001.

[Spock]

When he turned thirty-three, on Sept. 22 3001.

Actually that's what the Hobbits called "coming of age" and isn't the answer to my question.
It shows you know your Hobbit, so keep checking. I'm relaxing and taking care of whatever it is I've been fighting for the past week by resting and OTC meds.
....so I'll be in my pj's and laying about...gotta stay off the board the rest of the day as I'm light headed....ok, no wise remarks please...

[Lotesse]

Then, it would (officially, anyway,) be the day Bilbo signed his new will which bypassed Otho. Date, date... hmmm...

[Spock]

hmmmm

[Telcontar_Dunedain]

Not sure on dates. But when Bilbo adopted Frodo and took him in.

[Spock]

well a more specific answer might yield a positive response from the questioner :)

[mithrand1r]

well a more specific answer might yield a positive response from the questioner :)

June 4, 1947SR at about 11:11 am (GMT-4)

How is that for a specific answer? ;) :p

(Just Kidding)
How about:
22-September-3001 Third Age

[Spock]

...you forgot how many seconds :D, actually there is an answer in the book and that's what I'm looking for. I always get into this situation with my detailed questions :-(

[mithrand1r]

...you forgot how many seconds :D, actually there is an answer in the book and that's what I'm looking for. I always get into this situation with my detailed questions :-(

See above (Marked in Blue)

[Spock]

June 4, 1947SR at about 11:11 am (GMT-4)

How is that for a specific answer? ;) :p

(Just Kidding)
How about:
22-September-3001 Third Age

That's the date of Bilbo's farewell party and when he turned over Bag End to him. It's not the date which the question seeks. Re-read the question, post 203 and perhaps it will fall into place.

[mithrand1r]

That's the date of Bilbo's farewell party and when he turned over Bag End to him. It's not the date which the question seeks. Re-read the question, post 203 and perhaps it will fall into place.
2989 Third Age

Nine years after the death of Frodo's parents.

I do not think I can get any more exact. JRRT probably could though. ;)

[Spock]

to quote "Mr. Grace" you've all done very well" but not found the answer sought and the one in the book. :( It's there, honest it is. :)

[mithrand1r]

to quote "Mr. Grace" you've all done very well" but not found the answer sought and the one in the book. :( It's there, honest it is. :)

I will guess
2989-September-22

Still looking if I find a better answer. (Being done without access to a book)

[Spock]

I used the book for the question, so without being a super being it may be too difficult to answer. Of course we do have some of those on the board :D I'll give it until the end of day and then if no one gets it, pass the next question on to someone else.

[durinsbane2244]

he came into inheritance when bilbo wrote the will?

[mithrand1r]

he came into inheritance when bilbo wrote the will?

When did Frodo officially become Bilbo's heir?

Inheritance is not exactly the same as heir.

Good try though.

[Spock]

Indeed, you've captured the essence of the question, now to the answer please.

[Lotesse]

Nine years after his parents died?

[Spock]

.ahhh, I'm going to catch 007 on the tube. If no one guesses by the morrow, I'm appointing a new question person.

[Lotesse]

When Bilbo was 99 and Frodo was 21?

[Spock]

When Bilbo was 99

YES, YES, YES, YES,

and Frodo was 21?

Hmmm, I'd have to do the numbers but I'll give it to you as all the book said was Frodo was still in his "tweenes", the irresponsible twenties.

It's on page one of book one for those who couldn't locate the answer.

GOOD ON YOU LOTESSE. YUGO!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D

[Lotesse]

*phew!* Finally! O.K., let's see...

Speaking of Bagginses, at what age did Otho die?

[durinsbane2244]

otho died at the age at which his life is ended. yep, that hits the nail on the head right there.

[Lotesse]

Ha Ha. Excruciatingly funny.
But HOW OLD was he when he died?

[mithrand1r]

Ha Ha. Excruciatingly funny.
But HOW OLD was he when he died?

102, IIRC.

Spock,

Your answer, while logical, is cruel. My fault for not attacking it from the proper direction.

Was the 007 film good? Which film was it?

[Lotesse]

Yes, Mithrandir you're correct - your turn! :)

[mithrand1r]

Yes, Mithrandir you're correct - your turn! :)

Thanks.

What happened after Iarwain Ben-adar wore the ring?

[Lotesse]

Is that a trick question? Gandalf never wore The One Ring - anyway, he already has his own ring, the one with the ruby set in it.

[Lotesse]

What is WRONG with me?! Not Gandalf - Tom Bombadil - nothing happened after he tried on the One Ring, he just danced around and giggled, or something.

[mithrand1r]

Correct.

I was hoping Tom's other name might make this a little more challenging.

Your turn.

[Lotesse]

Cool, thanx Mithrandir.

What sarcastic nickname did Ferny call Aragorn as the Hobbits and he were leaving Bree?

[mithrand1r]

Cool, thanx Mithrandir.

What sarcastic nickname did Ferny call Aragorn as the Hobbits and he were leaving Bree?

Longshanks, IIRC.

[Lotesse]

You're right, Mithrandir, Longshanks it was. Your turn!

[mithrand1r]

You're right, Mithrandir, Longshanks it was. Your turn!

What was the cause of Bilbo's downfall?

[Lotesse]

You mean, specifically or in a more broad sense? I mean, this question can be interpreted in different ways.

[mithrand1r]

You mean, specifically or in a more broad sense? I mean, this question can be interpreted in different ways.
IIRC, the answer is stated in the text.

To answer your specific question, I would mean specifically. ;)

[Lotesse]

O.K., let me think - was it when Bilbo first picked up and pocketed the Ring in Gollum's cave?

[mithrand1r]

Sorry, not the correct answer.

Remember the title of this thread.

[Spock]

M-the 007 movie was the 1963 From Russia With Love, which was redigitalized and looked like it was made yesterday. It was neet comparing all the FX today vs the simple methods used the.

[Spock]

What was the cause of Bilbo's downfall?


What downfall? I don't remember any downfall. Bilbo lived and went to the West, he didn't fall down.

Most curious question. :cool:

if you mean someone thought or said "bibo's downfall" you have to indicate that"

[Lotesse]

Yes, who stated that ----- was the cause of Bilbo's downfall? Is that the question?

[Lotesse]

Would it be what the gossiping hobbits may have said about Gandalf's appearance in Bilbo's life? Please elucidate, Mithrandir.

Good film.

Many of the earlier Bond films had great plots with little if any special effects.

If I state that, I think I may give the answer away.

Would it be what the gossiping hobbits may have said about Gandalf's appearance in Bilbo's life? Please elucidate, Mithrandir.

No, but I think you are getting closer to the right train of thought. (It does not involve gossiping hobbits.)

if you mean someone thought or said "bibo's downfall" you have to indicate that"

Someone did state what bilbo's downfall was. IIRC.

The answer can be found in FOTR:LOTR.

[Lotesse]

Adventures, or adventuring? The cause, I mean. Said by The Gaffer?

[durinsbane2244]

bilbos downfall was when bilbo fell and found the ring. or maybe it wasnt, who knows? hes a fictional character!

[mithrand1r]

Adventures, or adventuring? The cause, I mean. Said by The Gaffer?

Good guess, but not the one I am looking for.

The Answer does not come from the Gaffer.

bilbos downfall was when bilbo fell and found the ring. or maybe it wasnt, who knows? hes a fictional character!

Not what I was looking for, but a good try.

[Lotesse]

Maybe hanging out with dwarves was the cause of his downfall, according to the Sackville-Bagginses? Or hanging with Gandalf? Or both?
