The Lord of The Rings Quiz!

[Vamp]

Welcome to the the new Lord of The Rings quiz, this quiz will feature questions on the books aswell as the three movies.

Each round will consist of three questions worth a number of points depending on the difficulty. The amount of points available will be shown as a number at the end of each question, example:

1. What colour is Gandalf's hat? (2)

You may only answer one question per round, this gives other users a chance to get some points. If you attempt a question and get it wrong, you can try that question again, but you may not attempt any of the other questions. Example:

John: grandrafs hat is bloo
Me: No you are wrong.
John: mins trith is white
Me: You got the Gandalf question wrong, therefore you may only attempt that question again, not any of the others.

Seeing as this is a new quiz, I am scrapping the old scoreboard. If you have any questions about the quiz or my sexuality, send me a PM and keep it out of this thread. Please feel free to attempt a question and get involved in the game. Good luck!
