That's it! Your turn. I was also thinking of his fame in fighting the orcs and wargs, when he invented golf he cleeved the leader's head of.

Name three wives of famous hobbits who are the only named members of their (maiden name) families.

Eep, this is difficult to phrase. Example: If Rose Cotton were the only named member of the Cotton family.

These are probably wrong:

Malva Headstrong wife of Gormadoc "Deepdelver" Brandybuck.

Bell Goodchild wife of The Gaffer.

Menegilda Goold wife of Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck.

Having done a very quick search (since Bell Goodchild wasn't on my list) I believe you're right. The others on my list were Lalia Clayhanger (Wife of Fortinbras Took II) and Eglantine Banks (Wife of Saradoc Brandybuck).

I wasn't sure if my *Hobbit Husbands* were famous enough....but if you're happy with my answer then that's fine! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

So here's my question:

At The Battle of the Five Armies, what did Bilbo decide with "the more Tookish part of his mind"?

As I have said on another thread my copy of the Hobbit is being borrowed, but I believe it is that he would rather fight and die among the elves.

Who was the first hobbit besides Bilbo that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippen saw on their journey home?

The gatekeeper was a man and Bob no longer worked at the prancing pony in the evening. Nob is the correct answer, take it away Sam.

OK -

What did the hobbits do on April 6 in the fourth age, and what are the three hypotheses as to why they did?

On April 6th the Hobbits had a holiday and dancing in the Party Field. Some said that it was Old Sam Gardner's birthday, some said it was the day on which the Golden Tree first flowered and others said that it was the Elves' New Year.

I'd hate to see this one get buried too deep, so I'm digging it up.
