Not quite a quiz, just trie me. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Helkahothion · 01-14-2003, 03:48 PM

This may sound like something that would fit in the quiz section but it issn't.

I would like to test my knowledge on Tolkien so I call upon you Downers to ask me Tolkien related questions.

I only saw the second movie once and read lotr 2 times. I did not read the Silmarillion and the Hobbit so don't bother asking that.

You should treat your book as if it is your bible. Altough I am an Atheist I do. Tolkien is my faith and the books my bible.

Am learning Sindarin on the Council of Elrond website- they have really good lessons, and translations from the books. I already knew most of the words cause I'd read that before but couldn't find it again, so I just had to remember them.
I know it's right cause I managed to find the place where I read it. But if you're interested in learning elvish I'd recommend the site.

Just to get back on topic, what was the song Frodo sang to get Tom Bombadil to come to their rescue while on the barrow-downs?

[ January 15, 2003: Message edited by: dragoneyes ]

eleanor_niphredil · 01-17-2003, 12:14 PM

"ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom bombadillo!
By water, wood and hill, by the reed and the willow.
By fire, sun and moon, harken now and hear us.
Come Tom bombadil, for our need is near us!"

am I right?

As for another question, I just read the stupidist question of all time!

How would you trap shelob?
A. In a giant bathtub
B. On a giant roll of sticky tape
C. With a big chunk of cheese

Second was:

If a troll was in your bedroom, how would you get rid of it?

A. Throw water on it
B. give it a nice hot cup of tea and ask it to leave
C. Open the curtains.

These were NOT meant to be funny questions. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Helkahothion · 01-19-2003, 04:59 AM

Hey hey people,

The Tom Bombadil Story left me clueless. 0/2 for the downers.

For the two other questions.

How would you trap shelob?
b. (altough their all weird)

If a troll was in your bedroom, how would you get rid of it?
c.

I hope to hear the real answers soon.

Yes, the Tom Bombadil one's correct and I agree with Anuion about the other two (though trapping Shelob would be hard even with a large roll of sticky tape)

eleanor_niphredil · 01-19-2003, 06:19 AM

Actualy, you would trap Shelob in a giant bathtub, cause spiders get trapped in the bath. I put sticky tape first to, and got it wrong.

Can I ask another? What is the name of Aragorn's father?

Lossentilien · 01-21-2003, 03:54 PM

Arathorn?
Ok...emm...very easy one..(am just gonna copy u're idea)

Name of Gimli's father?

Gloin perhaps?

ElentariGreenleaf · 01-21-2003, 04:07 PM

Man that's easy. I could remember that just by going through the script in my head.......

Galenfea of Mirkwood. · 01-21-2003, 04:43 PM

OK, slightly harder, how old was Aragorn when Arathorn died? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Lossentilien · 01-22-2003, 11:47 AM

He was two years old.
OK, so I guess that was a pathetic attempt. How about something harder?
This would be hard for me, maybe not you guys though.
How old was Aragorn when he was given the Ring of Barahir and the broken shards of Narsil?
