View Full Version : Double scrambled quotes.

I noticed two threads here in Quotable Quotes and I have decided to join them together to make one thread. Thoses two thread were Unscramble the quotes (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4269) and Sort out the letters!! (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=4289). :D
So this is how it works. The question asker picks a quote from the LotR, such as
One ring to rule them all.
and scrambles the letters in each individual word plus scrambles the words themselves, to make:
temh ot uerl lal nOe igrn
You don't have to keep the capital, I just did that to show you how it works. :p
You also need to say who said it. So here is the first question:
si lal litgrte edos lodg htta otn.
Who said it?
Enjoy! ;)

All that is gold does not glitter
That was Gandalf in the letter to Frodo, but Bilbo was the one who made the words up.

I thought I'd start with an easy one. Good job! :D
You may continue. ;)

Well here goes:
niwd o dawnnigre, ofrm wens het tawh sewt, ot irgnb em ightnto od ouy
I think this one is a little more challenging. Good luck! :D
"What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?"
Which is Aragorn in his lament for Boromir methinks.
Glirdan
09-01-2005, 01:14 PM
...correct my good lady! :D Your thread.
*mutters to self* and I thought it was challenging. :rolleyes:
Honestly Glirdan your edit means I can't do my Eowyn quote! :mad:
Ah well another time perhaps, next:
"si ddielr aehv ewll aegnrsstt eehr ew eht dfnou ahtt ety"
Glirdan
09-01-2005, 04:11 PM
Well then take comfort Kath for you have stumped me with "aegrsstt"! :mad: I am stuck! I have found out the other words, but without that one word I can't seem to find anything that makes sense. Good one! :D
I do apologise, the reason you can't get it is because I missed out a letter. That word should be:
aegnrsstt
Hope that helps!
Glirdan
09-02-2005, 01:42 PM
Darn you Kath! It's still got me stumped! I'd try and guess, but I can't for the life of me (or should I say death of me?) figure out what it is! There are numerous possiblitlites. But I shall not give up!!

" What do you think of Elves now Sam?"
I believe that was Frodo to Sam when they met the Elves on their wasy to Crickhollow.
Mango of Doom
09-04-2005, 11:56 AM
Correct :)
Glirdan
09-04-2005, 12:04 PM
This one might be a little trickyer:
eht aelon doost bdegir nopu eh adhosw ddeefi efir bhot adn adn
Good luck! ;)
"He stood alone upon the bridge and defied both shadow and fire."
About Gandalf but I don't know who said it unless maybe Aragorn.
Glirdan
09-04-2005, 12:46 PM
Right quote, wrong person. It was Frodo singing a song about Gandalf in Lothlorien. But I'll give it to you anyway.
Thanks!

"Your finger would remember their old strength better, if they grasped a sword-hilt"
That was Gandalf to Théoden at Edoras when Gandalf "awoke" Théoden from the darkness of the poison of Grima.
But of course! Your thread.

You try to choke poor Smeagol. Dust and ashes, he can't eat that. He must starve.
Said by Gollum to Frodo.
"You try to choke poor Smeagol. Dust and ashes, he can't eat that. He must starve."
Poor old Smeagol to Sam and Frodo.
EDIT: Beat me to it Wilwa!
Glirdan
09-04-2005, 01:49 PM
Well, you both are right. But since Wilwa beat you to it Kath, it's her thread. But at least you get the satisfaction of knowing that you were right! :D So take it away Wilwa.

"I thought you had all forgotten about me."
Which I think is Merry to Pippin but I will admit to not having looked.
Mango of Doom
09-05-2005, 02:28 AM
Almost the correct quote, almost correct character :P
wilwarin538
09-05-2005, 06:30 AM
Maybe: "I though you all had forgotten about me"
Pippin to Merry. :p
Mango of Doom
09-05-2005, 08:54 AM
Again, neither are quite right :p
"I thought you had forgotten all about me."
And I'll say Merry to Gandalf then.
Mango of Doom
09-05-2005, 09:20 AM
So close! Correct quote, wrong person.
Ah! Ah it's Frodo! Is it Frodo? To Sam?
Mango of Doom
09-05-2005, 09:26 AM
Its Pippin to Gandalf, but you can have it :)
Thank you! I thought maybe if I acted slightly crazy you'd give it me to shut me up :p

You are correct, and it was to people in general I believe. Your thread.

"I do not ask for such a gift."
Which sounds like Gimli to Galadriel.

Hey it's nice to be right sometimes! :D

I seem to think thats Frodo to Sam, but it may be Sam to Frodo. I'll guess at Frodo to Sam :)
Oooh good choice Mr Mango, and so over to you!
Mango of Doom

Should be an easy one, no big words ;)
"I look foul and feel fair."
Aragorn to one of the Hobbit's, possibly Frodo?
Mango of Doom

Correct :)
Wahey no need for madness this time! :D

Grr...this is harder than i thought. I have all the words except cegelhalnd, and have no clue as to the order. Just one word!!! :mad:
Glirdan
09-06-2005, 06:37 PM
Grr...this is harder than i thought. I have all the words except cegelhalnd,
Tell me about it Perky. At least you have most of them. I'm stuck on cegelhalnd, nrrutede, and cesin!! I wish I could figure it out. So far I've got 3 right on this one thread. GO ME!!!! :D

"Too seldom has he been challenged since he returned to his Tower." Aragorn, in the Last Debate.
That was a good one - seldom, returned, and challenged all had me going for quite a while. Challenged was the key word, though.
The Perky Ent
09-06-2005, 08:09 PM
Challenged! I KNEW IT! Curse you!
Mango of Doom
09-07-2005, 08:36 AM
Correct, of course! Glad it annoyed you, I flipped to a random page in the nearest book, and I saw that line :D

I figured some of them out but you've got me stumped Firefoot. I can't think of what it could be. Could you give a simple minded soul a hint?

K, no books right now so I know this isn't entirely right but is it along the lines of:
"The dead have been summoned. Yes, they ride behind."
Beregond

You have the words correct, but they aren't quite in the right order. :)
