yes

All right, what do Sam Gamgee and Amroth have in common?

Well just read through UT a bit and I must say the only thing I guess they have in common (except simple things) is that they both jumped into water trying to reach the person they loved and cared about. (Amroth trying to swim back to shore knowing otherwise he would not find Nimrodel [ok, he would in Valinor, but the guy is anyway a bit strange] and Sam that wanted to join Frodo on his quest).

And that's what I had in mind. Nothing complicated, it was about realizing it. Please continue.

Ok, what do Oin and Frodo have in common?

They were attacked by the Watcher in the Water? (in one case, with tragic result)

:eek:Yes:eek:

Why the face? :)

Okay. What do Aragorn and Éomer have in common? (apart from a few battles they fought together)

They both felt sorry for Eowyn:p.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Nooo... :p

Besides that, Imrahil did too, at certain time, and Merry as well... and Gríma maybe would if he could.

Well...maybe that they both held Eowyn in the Houses of Healing while she was being cured (Aragorn said something like Eomer should also take her hand since Eowyn's love for her brother is bigger then the love for himself).

That's true, but not what I had in mind. An advice: forget Éowyn now. Forget all complicated. It's a very, let's say, simple thing.

By the end of the books they were both kings...

They both lost their father when they were children?

ok, a question, is this only resticted to them, or there are othes who share this?

That's true, but that was Thorin III. Stonehelm and Bard II. son of Brand as well...
...and that's true as well, but then I could include Frodo with the lot of them...
...so as you see, the answer is restricted to them. Or, to be precise, technically I am quite sure it was not restricted to them, but a) we are not told about it, and b) the concept of the question itself is put in that way that what I am asking just what do these two have in common. It's them who are important here - the emphasis is on this part of the question; and that determines the type of the question.

They were both fostersons of a lord that was kin to them?

No, no... think more... concrete things.

Riddle
 

They both led the assault against the southern lands together.

No, no, not such a "plain fact" in that sense... think more... more... more concrete things.

They were both innate leaders. What do you mean by more concrete?

More... bruta facta. :)

Maybe since they were the first to renew the oath of Cirion and Eorl?

No.
The answer is one word. (Or if you wanted, then two, one being a pronoun.)

Okay. A final hint.

Q: What do Aragorn and Éomer have in common?

A: Their ............ (insert one word)

Or you can say it differently, but this is also a way and also a large hint.

Bah, another hint.

*sigh*

It is something physical.

Lol, nobody posted...
Their...eyes?

No :)

Royal blood?

No. Something really easy. Physical.

their... men

You have the wrong "their" there, TGEW. What you're looking for is "they're."

(Score one for grammar)

Oh, and my vote goes to their choice of weapons. Swords are clearly the awesome.

Both wrong. Every Rohir and every Gondorian and most probably every Ranger of the North had a sword. This is not such a thing that everyone would have in common with them (though there could have been, and most likely were such people, yet they are not mentioned in the books).

Keep trying!

Sorry, I sometimes don't spell everything wright or use the correct homonyms! Sorry for sinking your boat!

Oh, it's ok, TGEW. My boat sunk quite a while ago.

Hmm, I'll need to think about this puzzle, Legate. Give me some time.

Yes, this is quite a hard one!

Their height.

*applause!!!*

Indeed, that was what I was looking for. At last! Continue the thread, please. :)

Well that was a very difficult question, if you ask me (not in a bad way though - it was surely challenging :D), because it's always more difficult to see the similarity between two major than two minor characaters (of whom we don't know much).

Now, let's proceed with an easier one...

What do Gwindor and Andróg have in common?
