*Bumpity*

Firefoot 09-10-2004 08:06 PM

10 day rule!

How were Fëanor and Galadriel related?

NightKnight 09-11-2004 03:34 AM

Fëanor was Galadriel's (half-)uncle.

Firefoot 09-11-2004 06:08 AM

Good.

NightKnight 09-11-2004 09:09 AM

Whose great grandson was killed by Azog? There are two answers, and I want both. ;)

The Perky Ent 09-11-2004 09:23 AM

Oin and Nain II?

NightKnight 09-11-2004 09:26 AM

Yup. :)

The Perky Ent 09-11-2004 10:45 PM

Alright! Who was Aredhel's husbands sons grandfathers mother in laws grandson?

Fingolfin II 09-11-2004 11:47 PM

OK, I'll try to work through this logically-

Aredhel's husband- Eol
Eol's son- Maeglin
Maeglin's grandfather- Fingolfin
Fingolfin's mother-in-law- ???? (I think his wife is called Anaire)
Fingolfin's mother-in-law's grandson- Turgon/Fingon

So, is the answer either Turgon or Fingon?

The Perky Ent 09-12-2004 01:53 PM

Correct!

Fingolfin II 09-17-2004 06:04 PM

Cool, try-

Celegorm's love's husband's son's grandfather's youngest brother's great-granddaughter's father's father's second-oldest brother's daughter's daughter's daughter's husband's father's father's wife's father's father's father's oldest son's grandson is _________?

NightKnight 09-18-2004 12:44 PM

Celebrimbor?

Fingolfin II 09-18-2004 06:40 PM

That is absolutely correct.

NightKnight 09-19-2004 04:34 AM

Tricksy one. ;)

Who was Finduilas' only first cousin?

Fingolfin II 09-19-2004 05:07 AM

Celebrian, I believe.

NightKnight 09-19-2004 05:28 AM

Yep.

Fingolfin II 09-19-2004 05:22 PM

On the topic of cousins....
 
How many first cousins did Gil-Galad have and who were they?

Nanedhel 09-19-2004 09:24 PM

Two? That would be Idril and Maeglin.

I don't recall any references to who Gil-Galad's mother was, so the only cousins I know of are on his father's side. Of course, I am assuming that you are considering Gil-Galad to be the son of Fingon, and not Orodreth as has been suggested in later works of HoME.

Fingolfin II 09-19-2004 10:17 PM

Yep, exactly what I was after. I'm going by the version in the Sil where CJRT made him Fingon's son as is shown in the family tree at the back. You're up ;).

Nanedhel 09-20-2004 04:46 PM

How are Celeborn and Galadriel related?

Firefoot 09-20-2004 05:29 PM

They were married! :p

They were second cousins (a little close, don't you think?).

Nanedhel 09-20-2004 07:52 PM

Oops, I didn't ask that the relationship be spelled out. Extra points if you can trace the connection, otherwise the question is yours.

Firefoot 09-21-2004 08:43 PM

Galadriel's grandfather was Thingol, and Celeborn's grandfather was Elmo. Thingol and Elmo were brothers.

Name two sets of twins and how they are related to each other.

Fingolfin II 09-21-2004 08:49 PM

Elured and Elurin
Elladan and Elrohir

Elured/Elurin are the brothers of Elwing who is Elrond's mother, who in turn is the father of Elladan and Elrohir. So, that would make Elured/Elurin Elladan and Elrohir's grand-uncles?

Firefoot 09-22-2004 05:01 AM

Just one problem... Elwing was Elrond's mother. :p Other than that, perfect. The thread is yours.

Fingolfin II 10-22-2004 02:32 AM

Ah....forgot about this thread.

Who is Elrond's mother-in-law's husband's daughter's father's father's father's oldest brother's daughter's husband's grand-daughter's husband's mother's father's brother's son's male cousin's mother's father's oldest son's son?

luthien-elvenprincess 10-22-2004 06:22 AM

Is it Maeglin?

NightKnight 10-22-2004 07:42 AM

None? I get it to Turgon's son, and he didn't have one.

Fingolfin II 10-22-2004 06:48 PM

You're quite right NightKnight, I made a slight mistake in the question. It's been changed now, thanks for pointing it out.

Firefoot 10-22-2004 07:00 PM

Gil-Galad?

Fingolfin II 10-23-2004 06:43 PM

Yes.

Firefoot 10-23-2004 06:59 PM

Merry Brandybuck's maternal grandfather's youngest grandson's daughter-in-law's mother's oldest brother's wife's oldest nephew's namesake's father's grandfather's oldest brother's second daughter's great-grandson.

Have fun. :smokin:

NightKnight 10-24-2004 08:33 AM

Sancho Proudfoot. I just love these! :D

Firefoot 10-24-2004 09:58 AM

Yessiree!

NightKnight 10-24-2004 01:32 PM

Well well... A new one then, shall we?

Who was Celebrian's son's nephew's father's stepfather's grandmother's mother-in-law's uncle's great-grandson's second cousin's herald's wife's daughter?

Nanedhel 11-03-2004 09:31 PM

Is it Arwen?

Son - Elladan or Elrohir
Nephew - Eldarion
Father - Aragorn
Stepfather - Elrond
Grandmother - Nimloth
Mother-in-law - Lúthien
Uncle - Olwë
Great-grandson's second cousin - Erenion Gil-Galad
Herald - Elrond
Wife - Celebrian (hey, haven't we been here already?)
Daughter - Arwen

NightKnight 11-04-2004 12:20 PM

Yes, but it wouldn't have been as fun if I had just asked for Celebrian's daughter straight away, would it? :p

Nanedhel 11-04-2004 06:31 PM

Which of Elrond's ancestors was buried at the Haudh-en-Ndengin?

Firefoot 11-04-2004 06:34 PM

Rían?

Nanedhel 11-04-2004 08:26 PM

Close, but not quite the answer I was looking for.
