Elrond's big mistake?
I was just wondering if anyone else thought of this - Elrond tells frodo when he is at rivendell to look for Bilbo the next year in the fall, right?
Well by my calculations(and I did doublecheck them with the Appendices) It had to be two years till Frodo left. But Bilbo was already packing two years earlier.
Well, I guess the amount of time Bilbo spent sleeping would explain the premature packing - but what about the wise Elrond's little slip?
