As it happens, Legate is right. Your turn now.

Ah, I hoped that won't happen

I won't be around the next week to see the results. But I think I might post it anyway and just hope that my question will be once again one of those hard enough to guess

Let's see if I'll succeed.

What do those have in common:

Old Took
Bungo Baggins
Drogo Baggins
Gaffer Gamgee
Glóin

You may just keep guessing, and then we shall see.

They are all ancestors of people in the fellowship?

Groin Redbeard · 08-18-2008, 10:22 AM

I think that Eonwe has got this one, but I'll just go ahead and guess anyway. Could it be that they are all short?

Bungo Baggins? Bilbo wasn't part of the Fellowship... who was he related to?

Good point.

Nope, neither of the answers presented here is correct (as for them being short, they were, but then, there were many others who were. All Dwarves and Hobbits, in particular).

Seems it's working this far

If you choose to, I may give you a minor hint to point you in a certain direction.
