No problem, but we expect a real masterpiece.

Here is my puzzle.
Prepare to be...well, not masterpiecified.

1/(Name for two old Elves, and new Wild Men) + (Sindarin for waters below the priest - (dead laughter - (Culúrien's epessë - (33rd tengwa + chorus of creation - (holy one + beside the Lonely Mountain))))) = a treacherous lover.

1/something = gnihtemos. Get it?

EDIT: Too many things wrong.

33rd tehta ?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-24-2004, 12:48 AM

Sorry. Edited.

Could it be Maeglin?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-25-2004, 07:20 PM

It just missed...

Shout for hints...or confusing elements - like symestreem did.

Is "Sindarin for waters below the priest" a cryptic clue?
And
did it say "wasters below the priest" before, or am I losing my mind (more)?

Arithmetic question:
Does
1/(Name for two old elves, and new Wild Men) mean
(1/Name for two old elves) + (1/New Wild Men), (1/[Name for two old elves + new Wild Men]), are the elves and the Wild Men the same answer, or am I totally missing the point?
