Re: Odd Man Out #4

Was it that only Fëanor had parents who were both from the same host (both Noldor). Finrod's and Galadriel's mother was Eärwen (Teleri); Idril's mother was Elenwë (Vanyar) and Fingolfin's mother was Indis (Vanyar).

Re: Death by Dwarf

Uhmm, ok.

I can only find one single reference to Gildor and that is in Silmarillion where it says he was one of Barahirs 12 &quot;brothers in arms&quot;.

The answer is: They were all alive in the third age, except for Gildor.

That was actually a good question! Maybe with a more direct hint someone wd have gotten it. Not me, but someone.

P.s. I don't have RotK with me, but I didn't think that the Mouth of Sauron said &quot;Gandalf&quot;, just &quot;old fool&quot; or whatever.

I should have known better thn to question you, master dwarf.

Ok seince no one else is asking one, find the odd man out:

Maedhros
Hurin Thalion
Celegorm
Turin Turambar

[Telchar]

smilies/rolleyes.gif hmmm this seems too easy, so Im surely wrong. But Celegorm was killed by Dior, whereas the others took their own lives (in folly some might say) smilies/frown.gif

No. This one might be a litle tricky in that the answer is a little subjective. You're second guess was closer, but Faramir is not the answer. Let's say that 3 of these people accomplished something which teh 4th failed to do.

P.s. are you and I the only ones who do "Odd Men Out" quizzes any more??? smilies/eek.gif

[Elenhin]

Frodo was the only one to fail in resisting the temptation of the One Ring?

P.S. no smilies/wink.gif

[Turambar]

Exactly, Elenhin ! You ask one. smilies/smile.gif

(P.s. I changed my name to a more suitable one for this forum -- Odysseus.)

[Elenhin]

Thranduil
Galadriel
Nerdanel
Gildor

P.S. It seems that these boards aren't as active as they were before smilies/frown.gif

[Odysseus819]

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN !

WELL NERDANEL IS THE ONLY ONE NOT TO SURVIVE THE FIRST AGE . . .

[Elenhin]

I don't think that it's said anywhere that she died... anyway, that's not what I'm after.

(Hint: this is about what they are, not what they did)

[Orald]

was she the only silvan elf?

[Elenhin]

Nerdanel was a Noldo and the wife of Feanor; Thranduil is the only Wood-Elf on my list.
However, their kindreds/cultures are not what I'm after.

(Hint: picture these Elves in your mind... what do you see?)

[Turambar]

Gildor -- the only unmarried one?

Nerdanel -- never met a Baggins?

[Orald]

DO! I was thinking of Nimrodel.

Okay how about Thranduil being the only king, well, you know what I mean. Because Galdriel was never queen of Lorien, Nerdanel was never queen of any noldor and Gildor was no king.

[Elenhin]

These are all good suggestions - but I'm after something else...

Yet another hint: it's about how they look like.

[Turambar]

Was Galadriel the only blonde?

[Elenhin]

That's getting very close - but no, Galadriel isn't the only blonde on my list. I'm looking for a feature even more exceptional among the Elves.

(Hm. I'm starting to wonder if this was mentioned outside of HoMe series at all...)

[Orald]

Nerdanel had five children and Feanor thought she was still attractive enough to give it another go. smilies/smile.gif

But seriously, I can't think of any physical traits other than hair color and eye color that you could compare with 4 people. Nerdanel probably had black hair and Gildor had either black or blonde hair, depending on his lineage, Thranduil's I don't believe is mentioned.

Maybe you should just tell us after the next couple guesses, because the majority of or answers have been right, like Thranduil being the only King, non-Noldor and Nerdanel not being in ME.

PLEEEZ just tell us.

[Elenhin]

Okay, here it goes:
Galadriel - blonde
Thranduil - blonde
Gildor - blonde (or maybe black, we can't be exactly sure)
Nerdanel - red-haired. HoMe XII talks about Nerdanel's father being one of the best copper-smiths among the Noldor, and that his hair had glints of coppery red. Maedhros and Feanor's youngest sons (the twins) are said to have inherited the red-brown hair of their mother's kin as well.

I thought that Nerdanel's exceptional hair-color was mentioned in the Silmarillion, but when I gave it a look I found it's not so. smilies/frown.gif

The first one to read this may continue the thread.

[Turambar]

Where does it say that Thranduil was blonde, Elenhin?

[Elenhin]

The Hobbit explicitly states that the Elven-king had blonde hair. This was of course the same king of Mirkwood who was called Thranduil in the Lord of the Rings.

[Turambar]

I wasn't doubting you Elenhin, I just didn't remember the reference.

Try this:

Feanor
Fingon
Luthien
Gwaihir

[Telchar]

This is probably not it, but it's actually a good answer I think smilies/smile.gif

Fingon resqued Maedhros from imprisonment
Luthien resqued Beren from imprisonment
Gwaihir resqued Gandalf from imprisonment

Fëanor is odd out because he didnt resque anybody! smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/rolleyes.gif

[ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Turambar]

That's it exactly, Telchar. I guess Gwaihir gave it away, but I couldn't think of a third non-winged rescuer.

[Telchar]

Thanks Turambar, You could have tried Sam for resqueing Frodo , Bombadil for resqueing the Hobbits, Bilbo for resqueing the dwarves or even Frodo for resqueing Lobelia smilies/rolleyes.gif Anyway try this one smilies/smile.gif

Gandalf
Frodo
Théoden
Gimli
Sam

[ October 17, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Telchar]

Damnit - I myself have for the time being forgotten the answer to this one smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif ...

I'll give a new one and a good too, if I might add smilies/smile.gif

Eomer
Legolas
Gandalf
Aragorn

[Elrian]

Eomer, he wasn't a member of the fellowship?

[Telchar]

Nope - this one is a little more profound smilies/rolleyes.gif come again smilies/smile.gif

[Finwe]

How about Gandalf?
Coz.........
All the others were heirs to thrones.

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

hopefully this will actually work this time...Eomer is the odd one out because he is of an "inferior"-bad terminology-race: Aragorn is of the Men of Numenor, Legolas is an Elf and Gandalf is Maia, but the Men of Rohan are stated to be of lesser make than those of Numenor...that's my answer at any rate smilies/smile.gif

[Telchar]

Nope and Nope although both guesses are good!

HINT: Transportation

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

lol oh ye of the cryptic clues!

[Telchar]

HINT2: BAGGAGE smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Eomer? All the others carried baggage during their journeys at some stage. Eomer didn't.

[Telchar]

NOPE

HINT3: " Baggage " smilies/biggrin.gif

[Turambar]

Does it have something to do with the way they rode horses?

[Telchar]

Horses YES - Riding style - NO - three of them carried the same thing around at various time - the 4th didn't

[Tz-Mc]

Gandalf because he rode shadowfax?

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Legolas. the others carried swords.

[Telchar]

Nope and Nope

HINT4: The "baggage" is something specific - it cant be carried on two or three different horses at the same time - sometimes one of them carried "it" along - other times one of the others carried "it" along - one of them never carried "it" along smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

specific...as in one of the hobbits??????????
I don't think Legolas ever carried a hobbit...the other three did tho, didn't they????
*memory loss*

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

Merry...alright I'm going for Merry...lol I could be utterly wrong smilies/smile.gif *shrugs*

[Telchar]

Nope - but the is very good thinking Eowyn smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif smilies/smile.gif - you are close, but you better forget the hobbit stuff smilies/rolleyes.gif

BtW: When did Eomer ever carrie a hobbit???

[ November 08, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ]

[Turambar]

Gandalf because he never carried Gimli? Not that I remember when Aragorn carried Gimli either . . .

[Telchar]

Hmmm

Gimli rode on Shadowfax with Gandalf from Fangorn Forrest to Edoras - Aragorn was odd out because Gimli never was one of his passengers...

[Turambar]

So I had the right concept, but the wrong answer. Why don't you ask another, Telchar?

[Telchar]

Gandalf
Frodo
Eomer
Aragorn

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

Frodo journeyed on foot not on horseback!!!
Frodo was the only Ring Bearer

[Elrian]

Frodo never fought in any of the battles( Helms Deep, Pelannor, Morannon)

[Telchar]

Frodo did travel on horse several times - still none of you are correct ...

HINT: It has something to do with what they own/carrie!

[Turambar]

Did Eomer not carry a sword? That wd be strange if he didn't . . .

[Telchar]

Off course Eomer had a sword Named Gúthwinë But you are very, very,very. very, very close - actually you are so close that if you got any closer I would have given it to you - smilies/biggrin.gif ......... its all about their swords!!!

[Turambar]

Was it that Guthwine was not a sword of Westernesse?

[The Laurenendorian]

That doesn't work, because Glamdring and Sting were forged in Gondolin. Perhaps Guthinwë was the only one not to have existed in the First Age?

[Beregond]

Legolas didn't carry a sword! smilies/smile.gif

[Telchar]

1st of all - Beregond WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

The Laurenendorian is right on the mark . Eomer didn't have a sword forged in the 1st age...

[Beregond]

It must have been late... smilies/tongue.gif

[ November 21, 2001: Message edited by: Beregond ]

[The Laurenendorian]

- Thorin
- Merry
- Oin
- Boromir
- Bombur

[Pippin]

none of them had a son?

[The Laurenendorian]

Would work, except that then we don't have an odd one out.

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

Merry was the only one alive at the end of the LOTR????

[Pippin]

right, I though this was "one thing in common" smilies/rolleyes.gif
forgive me, I'm still in my tweens.
all of them had a brother except Bombur, who was a cousin to bifur and bofur? smilies/confused.gif

[Turin Turambar]

What do you mean by sick? Like something nasty?

[Turin Turambar]

wrong forum! smilies/eek.gif oops!

[Lostgaeriel]

OK, I'm just guessing. Is Boromir the odd man out?

Afterall, Boromir was present when Frodo wore the Ring, but Merry, Thorin, Bombur and Oin weren't. (They were, however, present when Bilbo wore the Ring and Boromir wasn't.)
NO! That doesn't work. Merry was at the Prancing Pony. YES! It does work. Merry wasn't in the common room - he went for a walk while Frodo was singing and dancing.

Alternative: Everyone listed except Boromir has been to Bag End.

[The Laurenendorian]

Not, I'm afraid, the answer for which I sought.

Guthláf could be added to the list.

[Turambar]

Bombur was not wounded or killed in battle?

[The Laurenendorian]

Pray enlighten me - in which battle was Oin wounded or killed?

[Turambar]

No one likes a smart-aleck, Lauren.

I thought maybe he was killed in Moria with Balin.

[Turambar]

By the way there's a "tolkien-movie" website that says that Oín was killed by the Watcher in the Water. I never heard that before.

[The Laurenendorian]

Well, I've just checked, and you're correct: The Watcher in the Water took Óin. We cannot get out. The end comes, and then drums, drums in the deep.~The Bridge of Khazad-Dûm

It's not the answer I had in mind, but it's as good as. You may take the go now, in which case I shall reveal the solution I had thought of, or you may continue to guess at the original odd one out, as you please.

[Turambar]

I admit to being stumped, but let's wait and see if someone else gets it.

None of these guys had children, did they?

[Telchar]

Bombur was the only one that died at home
