Golfimbul, because he was not a lord or king?

By practice taught, I have learned patience, having much endured By tempest and in battle both. Come then This evil also! I am well prepared.</p>

Forlong because he is the only human and the others are non-human? (Orc-orc-elf). And they all were pretty well smashed to bits in battle.

I am not certain Golfimbul was not a 'lord'. Yes, Forlong is the only human, but Fingon is the only Elf. For that matter Azog is the only one who's name begins with the letter 'A'. I am not looking for that kind of answer.

Here is a hint. Something happened to three of them that did not happen to the fourth(or indeed to most people).

What do the rest of you think of this type of question?
I realize they can often be answered more that one way.

It does not say Forlong was &quot;be-headed&quot;. He was just &quot;hewed down&quot;, I think.

I'll say Golfimbul, because his head landed in a rabbit's hole.

You are getting close. The answer involves the manner of their death. Something happened to three of them, but not the fourth.

Fingon was the only one that was slain by a immortal the others by hobbit, dwarf and easterlending all mortals... this is very farfetched guesswork <img src=smile.gif ALT="">

Golfimbul

Fingon was surrounded and slain at the battle of Unnumbered tears.

Forlong was surrounded and slain at the battle of the Pelennor Fields.

Azog was surrounded and slain during the War of the Dwarves and Orcs.

Who the hell was Golfimbul?

Golfimbul was a leader of an Orc band that came to the Shire. They were overcome by the Hobbits, and Golfimbul's head was knocked off by Bullroarer Took. It landed in a rabbits hole, and thus the game of golf was created. It's true! <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

Unfortunatly the tale doesn't tell how many strikes or blows Bullroarer Took used so we will never know wether it was actually a hole-in-one or if he took Golfimbuls head of &quot;in par&quot; <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

Re: Simple questions to answer without looking at book

OK, here is what I was thinking.
Golfimbul does not belong because he was the only one that was not slain by an axe.
Telchar, you were technically correct so you may continue.
