[mithrand1r]

Are you asking just for physical injuries or are you also including mental injuries as well?
(I am assuming that you are only referring to FOTR.)

[jammi567]

HA! i don't know if that's a compliment or an insult! :D :D :D

anyway. sure. uh...how many injuries does frodo sustain in this book?
is it two. one from the morgul knife, and the other from the spear that pressed onto the mithril shirt, which in turn pressed onto him.

[durinsbane2244]

right you are jammi. i only meant serious injuries, so please don't start coming with scratches a bruises and such, folks. go ahead, jammi.

[jammi567]

[durinsbane2244]

[durinsbane2244]

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

what's the first thing the hobbits see in the mirror?
Stars?

[jammi567]

[durinsbane2244]

a little help here, mate? :D

[jammi567]

it happens later in the book (lotr, not fellowship).

[mithrand1r]

what's the first thing the hobbits see in the mirror?

I think Frodo sees an old man clad in white that reminded him of Gandalf.

Sam saw Frodo lying pale and unconscious.

I do not think that Merry or Pippin looked into the mirror.

=======================================
For a triangle with sides a, b, and c.
s= semiperimeter of above triange.
Area of triangle = SQRT(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c))
Try this with the area of a right triangle of sides 6,8,10

[jammi567]

Sam saw Frodo lying pale and unconscious.

correct. your go.

[mithrand1r]

correct. your go.

Thanks.

What was missing from the Western Gate to Moria?

[Spock]

..The "no visitors" sign. :eek:

[mithrand1r]

..The "no visitors" sign. :eek:

That was probably lost during the second age. ;)

Nice try, but not the answer I wanted.

[mithrand1r]

That was probably lost during the second age. ;)

Nice try, but not the answer I wanted.

I will have sporadic access to the internet till Tuesday. I apologize if I do not respond quickly to any replies.

[Spock]

With thunder storms every day for the past 10 days, I too am on and off....:(.

[Spock]

Thanks.

What was missing from the Western Gate to Moria?




The Elven Gate that once stood there and was no more as the Stair Falls had been damed up and there was a lake of ominous water.

[Spock]

HELLO----------------ANYONE HERE??????????????????/ WAS I RIGHT :confused:

[mithrand1r]

HELLO----------------ANYONE HERE??????????????????/ WAS I RIGHT :confused:

Apologies for the delay. I am Back.


The Elven Gate that once stood there and was no more as the Stair Falls had been damed up and there was a lake of ominous water.


Close, but not quite what I am looking for as the answer.

(I should have regular access to the Internet now.)

If I do not hear an answer to my question by Tomorrow (Friday 21 July 2006), I will give the answer and let someone else choose another question.

What was missing from the Western Gate to Moria?

Spock was in the correct neighborhood, but did not have the answer that I was looking for.

[jammi567]

the two holly trees.

[mithrand1r]

the two holly trees.

Correct. Your Turn

[jammi567]

what's the last phrase said in the book, and by whome?

[Spock]

"Yet we may, Mr. Frodo, We May", said Sam.

[jammi567]

yeh, you're correct.

[Spock]

A tricky one: Who says "Ai"! "Ai!" and where? :D

[jammi567]

And you say i think of hard questions.

[mithrand1r]

A tricky one: Who says "Ai"! "Ai!" and where? :D

Legolas near the border of Galadriel's forest.

[Spock]

Legolas near the border of Galadriel's forest.

Actually you only got the first part correct. Try for the second part of the question. :confused:

[mithrand1r]

A tricky one: Who says "Ai"! "Ai!" and where? :D

Legolas in moria.

[Spock]

we have a WINNER

[mithrand1r]

we have a WINNER

Thank You.

Who bought Bill the Pony and for how much?

[Spock]

Thank You.

Who bought Bill the Pony and for how much?

It's just you and it's just me.
:(

Butterbur paid himself the price of twelve silver pennies.

[mithrand1r]

It's just you and it's just me.
:(

Butterbur paid himself the price of twelve silver pennies.
Correct.

:(

Hopefully more people will arive with their own trivia to add.

=================================================
Law of Cosine

For a triangle with sides a,b, and c and the angle µ opposite the side c, one has

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab·cos(µ)

or

(c*c) = (a*a) + (b*b) - 2ab·cos(µ)

[jammi567]

i'm here, but i didn't want to post something because i only posted a question a short whie ago, and i wanted other people to have a go first.

[Spock]

What did Gwaihir tell Gandalf?

[Spock]

48hrs, no one has a guess?

[durinsbane2244]

hm...that radagast sent him? :rolleyes:

[mithrand1r]

What did Gwaihir tell Gandalf?

Have a nice day. :)

Beware of Hobbits bearing gifts.

I am here to bring tidings, not to carry burdens.

The woods are dark lovely and deep, but I have many miles to go before I sleep.


The sum of the square of the legs of a triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

[Spock]

I took the question and answer from FOTR.

Gandalf reports at the Council of Elrond that he had already heard of Gollums escape from Gwaihir so Legolas' telling didn't surprise him at all.

As I 'lost time' on this one, I award the next question to mithrand1r!!

Who built a hall of brandy?

Old Oldbuck

[mithrand1r]

Old Oldbuck

Correct

[jammi567]

what shape do the waters take when they distroy the nazgul?

[durinsbane2244]

for one thing, they don't destroy the nazgul, so there's that, but i know what you mean. they assume the form of white riders and boulders. :cool:

[jammi567]

yeh. your go.

[durinsbane2244]

hm....when are the nazgul first mentioned?

[mithrand1r]

hm....when are the nazgul first mentioned?

After the publishing of FOTR by JRRT in the 1950's. ;)

[durinsbane2244]

HA! very good... :rolleyes: :D

[mithrand1r]

HA! very good... :rolleyes: :D

Does that mean I am wrong? :confused: :confused: ;) :p :confused: :confused:

I think Aragorn mentions it at the Prancing Pony

[durinsbane2244]

nin.

[Acalewia]

In the Shire?

[durinsbane2244]

.........when in the shire? :D

[Sam]

when gandalf is telling frodo about the ring.

[durinsbane2244]

sorry, should've been more specific, when they actually first appear, i meant. :rolleyes:

[Sam]

oh, well in that case, when frodo and sam leave hobbiton and are travelling on the road.

[durinsbane2244]

wrong again... :D

[Sam]

hmmm... well, in the movie, they first appeared at that dudes house but i can't quite remember if that happened in the book or not.

[durinsbane2244]

*blank face* i can't say yea or nay... ;)

[Sam]

so i'm close then.

[mithrand1r]

hmmm... well, in the movie, they first appeared at that dudes house but i can't quite remember if that happened in the book or not.

It is at Sam's Dad's House. (Hamfast IIRC)

As the Hobbits are leaving a Big Dark figure is asking about Baggins. Hamfast tell's him he left.

[durinsbane2244]

well, i feel awful about it after all the work Sam's put into it... :rolleyes:

but take it, oh pilgram grey! :D

[Sam]

grrrrr.

[mithrand1r]

grrrrr.


Sam. Go ahead an take the next question. I will not be able to have interenet access for a few days.

Hamfast would be proud of you.

[Sam]

thank you... thank you very much.

alright peoples, this one will require a pretty long answer but i will
award you if you are close to the correct answer

what song must the hobbits sing if they need help from Tom Bombadil.

[Spock]

Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow,
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us!
Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

[Sam]

correct.

your turn. :)

[Sam]

Spock?..... it's your turn.

[Spock]

Thanks-I just got the notice that I was correct....no idea of why it took so long. :(


A fairly hard one: Who said "Memory is not what the heart desires"?

[Sam]

hmmmm...... Bilbo?

[Spock]

Unfortunately, NO! :)

[mithrand1r]

Thanks-I just got the notice that I was correct....no idea of why it took so long. :(


A fairly hard one: Who said "Memory is not what the heart desires"?

I think it was Gimli. IIRC, it was after FOTR left Lothlorien.

[jammi567]

It sounds like a gandalf line

[Spock]

I think it was Gimli. IIRC, it was after FOTR left Lothlorien.

EXACTLY RIGHT!!! :D :D

[mithrand1r]

EXACTLY RIGHT!!! :D :D

Thanks.

Who went with a family member to seek advice in Imladris?

[durinsbane2244]

gimli? :D

[mithrand1r]

gimli? :D

That was one acceptable answer. The other was Gloin. Your turn.

[durinsbane2244]

righto. who is the mother of Goldberry?

[jammi567]

The river god.

[durinsbane2244]

close, but wrong. :rolleyes:

[mithrand1r]

close, but wrong. :rolleyes:

The River Goddess of the Withywindle. ;)

[durinsbane2244]

take 'er away, oh pilgrim grey!

:rolleyes:

[mithrand1r]

take 'er away, oh pilgrim grey!

:rolleyes:

Thank you. Very poetic, IIMA. (If I May Add)

Where may one find a wolf with a fang?

[Spock]

On a post outside of Beorns home?

[mithrand1r]

On a post outside of Beorns home?


Good guess :) :D , but not the answer that I was looking for this question.

The answer (That I am looking for) can be found in FOTR, book 1.

[mithrand1r]

Thank you. Very poetic, IIMA. (If I May Add)

Where may one find a wolf with a fang?

Since four days have passed an noone has listed the correct answer:

The answer that I was looking for was Farmer Maggot's farm. He had three dogs: wolf, fang, and grip.

Anyone may enter the next question.

[Spock]

:( :( :(

[Serenoli]

Spock, you give us a question, please?

[Spock]

Quick one:

"the road to the Quest lies....." where?

[Acalewia]

On the edge of a knife?

[Spock]

On the edge of a knife?
Not really. :(

[mithrand1r]

Quick one:

"the road to the Quest lies....." where?

. . . along the yellow brick road. ;) :p
:p

I will say (in a more serious response) through Mordor.

[Spock]

. . . along the yellow brick road. ;) :p
:p
.

Nope, nor is it to be found next to "Lucy in the Sky with diamonds" :D

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

Quick one:

"the road to the Quest lies....." where?
East?

[Spock]

East?


I'll give it to you. the full answer is "east of the river on the darker shore...


YOUGO Merry :)

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

What were Boromir's last words? (Last quote.)

[Sam]

"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."

[Spock]

What were Boromir's last words? (Last quote.)

"where the H*** did all those orcs come from" :D

[mithrand1r]

"where the H*** did all those orcs come from" :D

I think you are paraphrasing. I am sure it was: Where did all these F*#*#* orcs come from!? :p ;)

Although it has been rumored that some people have mistranslated the Redbook so that it now reads


"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."

[Sam]

so i am correct!!!

[Meriadoc Brandybuck]

"Farewell, Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed."
Yup. ;)

[Sam]

sweeeeet!

well then, what were the names of the 4 elves at the counsel of Elrond

[jammi567]

Elrond (duh!), Glorfindal, Legolas and ?

[mithrand1r]

Elrond (duh!), Glorfindal, Legolas and ?

Erestor. (IIRC)

[Sam]

ok, first of all, i'm sorry for not being clear about this Jammi, i meant which four elves not including Elrond :o , but you did get the other two correct :) !

Socondly, Mithrandir, Erestor was there, which means that we are still missing one elf.

[jammi567]

Galdor.

[Sam]

correct.

[jammi567]

So who's go is it?

[Sam]

yours.

[jammi567]

Ok then, how many nights do they spend in tom's house?

[Sam]

one?

[jammi567]

no. :)

[Kelvins]

two?

[jammi567]

yeah, your go.

[Spock]

Nine Days And No New Question :( :(

[Sam]

do we give it to someone else???

[jammi567]

i think we should. *sighs* all these new people joining, but not taking part. :(

[Spock]

SAM, how about YOU posting a new one?

[Serenoli]

I see it is high time for a question, and I'll take your suggestion, Spock, and make it about SAM ;) :)

What did Sam forget to take when the Fellowship left Rivendell?

[Sam]

you sneaky little....

well, i guess i shouldn't be too mad, afterall, i'm pretty sure the answer is rope.

[Serenoli]

:cool: You got it!

[Serenoli]

Um, Sam... you did get it, y'know...

[Sam]

sorry about the hold up, i haven't been able to get on a computer for the last couple of days, but i am on now, therfore i will post.

in which chapter does Gandalf say, "Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life."

[Spock]

..the chapter entitled "a shadow of the past"

[Sam]

correct.

[Spock]

This gets harder the longer we all play; so an absure one.

Who said -in part- ...."I see that you do not yet know what to do" ..... :cool:

[mithrand1r]

This gets harder the longer we all play; so an absure one.

IIRC, it was Celeborn (not Selleborn ;)).
================================================== =====
Some trigonometric values:

SIN(0) is (SQRT(0)/2) = 0
SIN(30) is (SQRT(1)/2) = (1/2)
SIN(45) is (SQRT(2)/2)
SIN(60) is (SQRT(3)/2)
SIN(90) is (SQRT(4)/2) = 1

COS(0) is (SQRT(4)/2) = 1
COS(30) is (SQRT(3)/2)
COS(45) is (SQRT(2)/2)
COS(60) is (SQRT(1)/2) = (1/2)
COS(90) is (SQRT(0)/2) = 0

TAN(0) is (SQRT(0)/SQRT(4)) = 0
TAN(30) is (SQRT(1)/SQRT(3)) = 1/[SQRT(3)]
TAN(45) is (SQRT(2)/SQRT(2)) = 1
TAN(60) is (SQRT(3)/SQRT(1)) = SQRT(3) (it is about 1.732; the year that George Washington was born.)
TAN(90) is (SQRT(4)/SQRT(0)) = Undefined

[Spock]

IIRC, it was Celeborn (not Selleborn ;)).

That is quite logical.

AND

Correct! ;)

[mithrand1r]

That is quite logical.

AND

Correct! ;)

Thanks.

What beat Old Noakes?

[Spock]

Thanks.

What beat Old Noakes?


New Nikes? :D

[mithrand1r]

New Nikes? :D


Good guess. (though not what I am looking for) I think Old Noakes prefers Rebooks. ;)

[mithrand1r]

Thanks.

What beat Old Noakes?

Since it has been four days without a correct guess, I will give a hint. If no one answers correctly after 2 days, I will let the next person put a question up.

Hint: You will not find the answer after the Old Forest.

[Serenoli]

Hahah, found it... nice question, mithrand1r! :cool:

It beat old Noakes why a Baggins from Hobbiton would go looking for a bride in Buckland.

[mithrand1r]

Hahah, found it... nice question, mithrand1r! :cool:

It beat old Noakes why a Baggins from Hobbiton would go looking for a bride in Buckland.

Correct. I am glad you liked my choice of question.

Your turn.

(I am sure that if everyone worked together, we can get a few thousand trivia questions from LOTR. Perhaps one day it can be put on one page with links to the correct answers.)

[Serenoli]

:)

Name all the people present at the Council of Elrond, who spoke.

[durinsbane2244]

:p

[Serenoli]

Very good, Spocko, I believe you've got them all! :)

[Spock]

Where does...."the straight road of the Quest" lay; and who said it. :rolleyes:
