OK, I'll ask a new question, to keep this thread going.

What was on the wall to the left of the front door in the Hall at Bag-End? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Edit: Just to be clear, questions here must relate to the book, The Hobbit.

Hmm..the cloak-rack?

Not according to the reference which I have in mind. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The map with his favourite walking routes marked?

Any good?

No and no.

By "to the left of the front door", I mean from the perspective of standing in the Hall looking at the front door.

Hint: the answer that I am thinking of is not to be found in the text, although it is an "official" source. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Well, I found a picture (not sure if it's an "official" one so to speak, but there's a stool and a trunk to the left of the door.

No, but you are right that I am thinking of a picture. However, this one is about as "official" as you can get. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Aha! I've found it! Drawn by Tolkien himself o'course. There's a clock!

That's the one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Well, it's either a clock or a barometer, but you got the picture (*groan* [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ).

Oh my that was bad...*shakes head*

How many arrows are on the map of the Wilderland in The Hobbit?

3

Correct Helka!

Wow, my very first answer!


What was the answer to Gollum's second riddle?

Abedithon le,

Anuion

Wind, wind of course!

Correct [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Your turn Beren

Abedithon le,

Anuion

Who's tree caught on fire first?

Could it be Gandalfs tree ?

Not only could it, but it is. =P

Your go.

Yeeeeeea!I really got it .
OK . What was written on the map that the Dwarfs carried along with them ?
Sorry for the easy one but it was hard to translate other things in english . And I hope that this one hasn't allready been asked .
G'luck . [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

If you want me to quote everything on the map it is a big post. Or do you mean the Dwarfish runes?

Abedithon le

I like to shorten things so I ment the moon letters . And by your post Helka I see that you have the answer .

Ehr, I don't actualy [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

think harder...

I think we have a winner !!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Congratulations ! And Earwen , you can bring on the next question .

Why did Smaug think Barrel was the name of Bilbo's pony?

because when listing his "titles" Bilbo called himself Barrel-rider.

correct

What could Bilbo not imagine about the Long Lake?

Sorry for the inncorrect translation but I did my best .
Bilbo could never imagine that an open of water , which is not a sea , could look so big .
If that is not enough than the sentence is to be found in chapter 10 , the 6th paragraph , the 4th sentence . Well atleast so it is in my book .

That would be very correct Ophelia, and thanks for the specifics.

Your go.

Why , thank you ! That was the closest translation I could thought of .
So here goes my next question : which Dwarf was set free as the first when Bilbo recued them from the spider webs ?
And again it is too simple but all the trixy questions are difficult to translate in English so forgive me for this simple question .
Good luck on answering ! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Thorin, me thinks?

Maybe it just is so . You can give us the next question . [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well, I was just guessing the answer too, I'm rather suprised to have gotten it correct.

What was Gollum's reward if we would have won the quiz game?

Bilbo's carcass to eat.

Darn, you beat me to it. And If Bilbo won he would be guided outside by Gollum.

Kudos to Gwaihir, the thread is now his. Nice try Helka, you almost had it, but a windlord is quite the difficult creature to outrun.

*kicks the thread to the top*

Oh Windlord?
