Test your knowlege: Identify the one who spoke or wrote these words from LOTR books:

We'll start easy, and get more difficult ones in future posts. I'll post the high scores one week from the time of this posting. Maybe there will be a prize!



1. "...42? Alas, you have passed my count by one..."
2. "No! No! It is not for you, Saruman!"
3. "You?...a fat innkeeper who only remembers his own name because people shout it at him all day long?"
4. "Did you ask about the sniffing?...I'm sure it's very important..."
5. "The Watcher in the Water took Oin..."


I'll also be interested to see how they handle some of the lines from the books in the movie, whether they will use a lot of them verbatim, or modify them to make the language more accessible.

Have fun,

Illustrious Rostron

OK, to continue the quiz: Who spoke these lines?

6. "Throw yourself in next time, and you will be no further nuisance..."

7. "There are evil things written on this hilt...though maybe your eyes cannot see them..."

8. "There's something fishy in this, my dear, I beleive that mad Baggins is off again..."

9. "Let none say again that Dwarves are grasping and ungracious."

10. "It is largely on account of Balin that I have come to ask the audience of those that dwell in Rivendell."

Good luck,

Rostron

OK:

So far, it's KJ 9 of 10, and Durb admits to 9 of 10. Here's more to break the tie...

11. "I have never been outside my land before. And if I had know what the world outside was like, I don't think I would have had the heart to leave it."
12. "...you know all my desire, and long held in keeping all the treasure I seek..."
13. "Courage is found in unlikely places...
14. "Elves and dragons!...cabbages and potatoes are better for me and you"
15. "I come from yonder...have you seen Baggins?"

Well to be fair I think I only got 7 of 10. But I won't tell Durb if you don't!!

Okay this round is a lot tougher. I'm definitely guessing at a few here!

11. Legolas
12. Aragorn
13. Gildor
14. The Gaffer
15. Ringwraith

Yes and i will eventually . Although the name did give me problems. I went through the trouble of finding { in the ascii table to write it properly, but using it didn't allow me to have a icon.

OK:

KJ takes the lead. The answer to #13 was Gildor.

Yes, and I always did wonder which of the Ringwraiths did most of the talking. The books suppose that one of them, Khamul, I believe, was the 'tracker' of the ring, and who, next to the WitchKing, was the most able to feel its presence.

Hey Rostron, just wanted to thank you for this thread it has been great fun. Can you do me a favor though and go back and do a recount on all of the answers that have been given. I think Durbatuluk might actually have the edge on me. If Durb got 5 of 5 on that first group I think I would have only got 2 of 5. I love a good competition in all but I also want it to be fair!

Thanks a bunch,

KJ

Hi KJ:

You're welcome. Thanks to you both for participating.
I thought it would be a little variation on the standard trivia thread. (Although we need to start one of those for the books so everyone else can join in more effectively).

You are correct, on a recount, you have gotten 11 of 15 correct, while Durb has 12 of 15.

A close contest! Next round coming up!

Here we go, the last group...



16. "His arm has grown long."
17. "Miserable trickster!...let me get my hands on you!"
18. "Cold be hand and heart and bone and cold be sleep under stone..."
19. "I perceive the Dark Lord and his mind...and he gropes ever to see me and my thought."
20. "You are forgetting your family history...and all you ever learned about trolls..."

And remember, it's not whether you win or lose, it's that you love LOTR...

18. BarrowWright
19. Galadriel
20. Strider

I have to admit they're getting much harder

OK:

We have a tie! The answer to number 17 was Boromir.

We can go to another round, or you can agree to share your award...although Durb tends to be a little more bent on conquest, I think

OK,

I can't abide ties!!!

I'll start the next set here, but please use my profile to email your answers. I'll post the score and answers later. This way any number of the 'audience' can participate.

OK: here's the next set:


1. "There's only one Dragon in Bywater, and that's Green."

2. "I have been told that wherever they go the Riders ask for news of a land called Shire."

3. "If this is shelter, then one wall and no roof make a house!"

4. "But if Saruman has become evil, as you say, then their doom cannot long be delayed."

5. "There's one thing these fine fellows don't know...Mauhur and his lads are in the forest..."

Good Luck!
