I think I need to get my Tolkien on. Let's see who knows their Balrogs from their Trolls. 

 

 

I will post a question and you will give me answers. Serious and or funny. If there is a request you may even get multiple guess (Hint: the answers is usually C)

 

I my give some points for clever or amusing answers. No Guarantees...

 

First question:

 

In the Hobbit, When Bilbo and Gollum are playing riddles, Gollum nearly wins. What was the answer to the riddle Bilbo barely got?

time

Correct. 

 

In LotR, what was the unique gift Galadriel gave to Gimli?

Her own hair. Kind of weird to give away something dead from your body. :D

3 hairs if numbber makes any diference

That played better in text.

yes 3 strands of hair. It was quite odd but it was what he asked for. 

 

 

In Silmarillion, Who challenged Morgoth to single combat?

fingolfinn

The hair thing I always took as a token of remembrance of her great beauty that would not harm her in any way since the hair was dead. 

 

 

But maybe he was just a creeper, LOL 

Ha, ha. No, it was quite cute. 

I do not have a chance in this quiz lol.

 

I think hair in a locket and hair braidings into crafty little sentimental items was kind of a thing a while back.

Fingolfin it was. That was one of the saddest scenes in the book for me. And Silmarillion is quite tragic. 

 

 

What was Bilbo's dual purpose on the Quest to the lonely mountain? 

To get the gold and evict smaug?

Or the archenstone?

To get the gold and evict smaug?

Those were likely Gandalf's purposes for the entire quest. 

 

What was Bilbo's dual purpose on the Quest to the lonely mountain (why did the dwarves seek him out to join)?

 

A. to have him find the ring so there could be another book, and to make fun of him all along the way.

B. So he could get rich and have lavish parties to which they would be invited,

C. To be their "lucky charm" and burglar

D. All of the above

c becuse half of a woulld only concern tolkien and not have to do withh the story world and b i dont remember that at all and d would be more than two

test taking 101 comes thru again. eliminate the wrong answers and what is left must be right.

 

 

 

Silly question:

 

How many children did Samwise Gamgee end up having? And what were their names? Google away

No way did I know them by heart. Waaaay too many. They trying to repopulate the Shire after the battles to scour it. 

 

 

Silmarillion:  What creature destroyed the two trees in Valinor?

Ungoliant

LotR: What was name of the the inn in Bree where all the shenanigans took place?

Not that there's anything wrong with that
