By the way, that lasy post was intended to provide a hint. But don't be put off if you know little of modern European history. You should be able to get it by thinking of a "head-line writer", but you will need to think a little bit laterally.

Grima wormtounge I know nothing of moern Euro history I think you mean the king of Germany after WWI but I forgot his name

but Grima gave news to Theoden he didn't write it but he told him...

wait if I'm thinking of the right king he may have been Hapsburg(its aAustria but I'm oin to something I hope) Burg=hornburg= helm hammahand...

Hama?
or Grima?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-23-2004, 08:59 PM

No. Sorry, Morsul.

I need a few more guesses before I give any more hints.

Morsul the Dark · 07-23-2004, 09:04 PM

looked up laterally didn't help me...hehe

king euro history...

hgeadline writer using the definition of laterally I'll say

Sam? brought news to Merry and Pippin about Frodo who he is equal to?

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-26-2004, 08:05 AM

Nope, sorry. Not Sam either.

OK, here's a BIG hint. You have to think both laterally and literally. Who was literally a head-line writer?

Morsul the Dark · 07-26-2004, 10:14 AM

Saruman? I'm sure wrote about the ring and such and gave all his notes headlines

Bilbo Is the only one i know that wrote head-lines or titles
