You know you're obsessed with LOTR when ... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Last night, my quiz team was faced with the following question:
Which is the odd one out, Arwen, Legolas, Saruman, Elrond.

One team member was baffled, thinking they were a list of anagrams.

Another argued that it was Elrond as there was no such character.

I on the other hand agonised: was it Saruman, the only non-elf, or Legolas, the only one who was actually a member of the Fellowship? My fellow team members backed away nervously, the Tolkien fanaticism was a side of me they had previously been unaware of.
PS I made the right choice, which was Saruman. And we won the quiz - an annual event in which we had been runners up for the last three years.
Which goes some way to make up for the hideous humiliation I am currently suffering in WWXIII.
