The Official LOTR Quiz

[Sleeker]

~~YE OLDE QUIZ DESCRIPTION~~
Obviously, this is a quiz, but it pertains to all of the books in the series, not just the 4 most people know of.


~~DESCRIPTION FOR NOUVEAU, AVANT GARDE QUIZ!~~
Welcome to the Lord of The Rings Quiz.

Each round will consist of three questions worth a number of points, which will be indicated by a number at the end of each question. You are only allowed to answer one question per round, this prevents one user from getting all the points and gives others a chance to play.

One of the rounds may contain a bonus question, which you can answer aswell as one of the set three.

If you answer a question and it is incorrect, you can keep trying to guess that question, but you are not allowed to attempt any other question.

If you have any queries, feel free to send me a PM.

Good luck!

Correct for 1 point. You're slowly moving up the board. :p

SOMEBODY ELSE PLEASE MAKE UP QUESTIONS!!! Anybody can make up questions any time now. I don't care who as long as the questions aren't really easy, haven't been used before, or something like one of those. In my big group of friends, I'm the only person who is neutral in fights and one of the only people who try to fix problems, and there are a hell of a lot of fights and problems now, so I don't have much time to look up all of this, especially with an increase in homework adding to this.

Still open:

170. What land was Beregond originally from (near Minas Tirith)? - 2.5 points
178. Who defeated the invaders in the north of Rohan (think about what's north of Rohan)? - 2 points
229. For what reason did Galadriel go into exile besides to rule her own realm (involves Feanor, but not what you'd probably expect)? - 3 points
Questions 237 is according the the Book of Lost Tales
237. What reason did Melko say to Iluvatar that he wanted to go to the world for (involves something that he put into the world)? - 2 points

Vamp, do you have any problem with me continuing to play my spoiler role and refusing any points?

If so, Khamul is known as the black easterling

3. Which Nazgul was known as the "Black Easteling"? (2)

[Vamp]

So you want to answer questions, and not recive any points?

[shortkut]

give him points anyways but hide them

[AlecTrevylan006]

Correct. I want to be able to answer questions, but receive no points whatsoever. Much more fun, much more annoying for shortkut, and its what I did for however long the old quiz went on :D.

[Vamp]

Ok, I don't see why not. :)

[Spike]

Just put a secondname "janus" on there for him, we'll know what it means

[AlecTrevylan006]

For the record, if you do, I will edit the scores so that I am not in them, and instead have a picture of spike violating a donkey.

Now, nobody wants that, do they? Scoreboard editing is not a nice thing.

[shortkut]

inlé threatened me with disembowelment if i edited her scoreboard. well to be more precise she did say it but i knew she was thinking it :whatever:

[kurt]

2. What is Pippin's full name? (1)

[AlecTrevylan006]

inlé threatened me with disembowelment if i edited her scoreboard. well to be more precise she did say it but i knew she was thinking it :whatever:

Exactly

So if you forced me into editing... well, you wouldn't have to worry about indigestion at least

[shortkut]

Exactly

So if you forced me into editing... well, you wouldn't have to worry about indigestion at least
i don't like where you're going with this :hide:

[Inlé_rah]

[shortkut]

3. "Which Nazgul was known as the "Black Easteling"?" (2) Khamul

Youre too anal about the technical stuff.

All the current questions have been answered, haven't they?

[Vamp]

Yeah, I wonder when there will be some new questions.

(Tomorrow ok!)

[Tokito's Girl]

I only violate bunnys, theyre so soft and fuzzy....and tight

You're weird. I thought bunnies were too hard for you to catch anyway, Spike?

[Spike]

2. Name Glorfindel's horse. (1)

3. When do the company discover that Frodo was saved by his Mithril Vest? (2)


Notes: Please quote the question you are answering. (Kut! )

I accidentely typed hose insted of horse on question 2, luckily, I previewed my post and was able to avoid a tricky situation.

There is no bonus question this round because I can't think of one.

[Spike]

Bunnies arent exactly slow, I thought you'd realized that by now.



Bunnys flok tome, so thats really not a problem

[kurt]

(1) the person is Gimli so that he dose not know the way there

[AlecTrevylan006]

I accidentely typed hose insted of horse on question 2, luckily, I previewed my post and was able to avoid a tricky situation.

...that would have been interesting.

In fact, that should have been the bonus. Come up with the most amusing name for Glorfindel's "hose"

[shortkut]

3. When do the company discover that Frodo was saved by his Mithril Vest? (2)
after they left moria and were on their way to lothlorien

[Inlé_rah]

1. Who does Haldir want to blindfold in Lorien and why? (2)
Gimli

Because he is a dwarf, and they are not allowed in Lothlorien which hadn't had dealings with dwarves since the Dark Days (most of the Second Age)

[Showsni]

I suppose that leaves me with:

2. Name Glorfindel's horse. (1)

Asfaloth. (Stupid thieving Arwen...)

[Vamp]

(Stupid thieving Arwen...)
Tell me about it!

All right, except for Kurt. Now, have a crack at the bonus question, which is worth, no points.

Bonus: Name Glorfindel's hose.

[Tokito's Girl]

after they left moria and were on their way to lothlorien

They found while they were still in Moria after the company killed the cave troll. This was before the whole ordeal with the balrog. They were in Rivendell when Frodo aquired the Mithril Vest.

[Vamp]

I am talking about the book!

[shortkut]

Tell me about it!

All right, except for Kurt. Now, have a crack at the bonus question, which is worth, no points.

Bonus: Name Glorfindel's hose.
bonus: "moses supposes his roses have hoses on their noses"

[Vamp]

Sorry about not posting, I was busy.

Right now, this forum is failing. (And stickies don't count.) I really don't want to see it go.
