All but Farmer Maggot have lived in Hobbiton?

All but Maggot attended the Long Expected Party?

No, neither of those.

How come when I think a question is magnificently evilly difficult, it is answered straight away, and yet when I think it is fairly straightforward, it lingers around for ages? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] Fredegar was the only one who did not participate in the Battle of Bywater, or the "scouring of the shire" as the chapter was called, I believe. Wish me luck. This is my first post! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] It's not this easy, is it? That Frodo was the only one to bear the one ring? Or to have direct contact with a Nazgul?
(Hamfast on the evening of Frodo's departure, Merry at Minas Tirith, Fatty at the house in Crickhollow, and Farmer Maggot at his home before the hobbits arrive--I'm not including the roadside attack on the fouir hobbits before they left the Shire)
Or to enter Valinor? Or to enter the Black Land?

Welcome to the Downs, Arestevana. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You came very close to the answer in your last post ...

Hamfast was the only one who didn't know about the ring? Or perhaps to not know what the Nazgul were?

Well, this isn't at all close to what Arestevana said, but, wnyhow- Merry is the only one without an 'F' in his name? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

~Menelien

No and no. Getting colder.

Fatty was the only one not to speak to a Nazgul?

That's close enough for me. Lalaith. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I was actually thinking that they all interacted with Nazgul except Fatty, who only saw them moving in the shadows outside Crickhollow before running to raise the alarm. The Gaffer and Farmer Maggot both spoke with Ringwraiths, while Frodo and Merry fought with them.

Oh, I feel guilty now, it was Arestevana who gave me the idea about Nazgul.

Anyway, here goes...

Legolas
Boromir
Sam
Aragorn
Merry

I have to go for the obvious....Boromir is the odd one out, as he dies before the end of the story. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Legolas is the only Elf?
Sam was the only one to bear the one ring?
Boromir was the only one that didn't die of natural causes?
Legolas the only one without a title? (king, mayor, Master, heir of the steward) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No. All perfectly valid but not what I'm thinking of.
If it helps:
what all the people - except the odd one out - have in common is something specific. It doesn't apply to anyone else. (If you see what I mean) And it's in FotR.

Umm... how about heir of the king of mirkwood?

To make this legal:
Legolas is the only one with a bow?
Boromir is the only one from the south?

No.
As I said before, the person is odd man out not because of what he is, but what he isn't.

Don't have the book with me, so I can't be sure, but I don't think Legolas actually ever came into physical contact with an orc in FotR... that's rather vague, though.

~Menelien

No. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Legolas, because he is not a hobbit or a man?

No.
It's something all but one on the list can do.

Sam is the only one who can't handle a boat?

I would say something similar to Nerindel, Sam can not swim?

Kimli, I'm sure Sam couldn't swim either, but Nerindel has the answer I was thinking of. Well done, your go!

Sorry this took so long, but I totally forgot I posted here, (Nerindel grovels to her fellow quizzers to forgive her) anyway here go's.

Beren
Maglor
Maedhros
Morgoth
Frodo
Gelmir

good luck [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[ May 27, 2003: Message edited by: Nerindel ]

Morgoth is the odd man out because all the others were for the "side of the light" whereas he was the original Dark Lord.

Maglor was the only one whose eventual fate was unknown.

Gelmir was the only one never to carry the light of a Silmaril.
Beren- that's a bit obvious
Maglor- Stole one, threw it in the sea.
Maedhros- Stole another, died with it
Morgoth- Also obvious
Frodo- The light was in his phial.

These thing are all true but not what I'm looking for [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hint:
think of what they lost, only one did not lost any of what the others lost

[img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] hope that makes sense [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]


Edit: Sophia just noticed your post your close right name but thats not the reason I'm looking for [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ May 29, 2003: Message edited by: Nerindel ]

Oh, thanks for the hint [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Maglor didn't lose any parts of his body.
Gelmir- eyes, hands, feet, head
Frodo- finger
Beren- hand
Maedhros- hand
Morgoth-foot

Awww poor Sophia [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

But you got the right reason Arestevanna, so go ahead it's your turn [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hope this is hard enough. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Cuthalion
Elured
Khim
Brandir
Lorindol

Cuthalion is a weapon?

No idea who Lorindol is, but I'll take a guess on Elured on the basis that the others were all slain by Turin or men under his command.

yeah sauce man I was thinking the same until I found this:

And I'm quite sure Hador was slain during the battle of sudden flame, while defending Eithel Sirion. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

But they are related Hador's son Galdor married Hareth and their sons were Húrin and Huor, and Túrin was Húrin's son (shrugs)

so I agree that Elured is the odd man out, but maybe it's just because the others are all some way connected to Túrin????

No, no, and no. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

My dear friend Arestevana.....

.....you have me totally stumped. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Ah, oh well, I'll just go out on a limb here and say Brandir. If I'm right, PLEASE tell me why, because that was just a guess. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Brandir because he is lame?

You'll have to be closer than that, Elentarimir! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Sorry, Lasgalen, that's not it.

*sighs*.....*sighs*.....

Well then, I'll guess Khim. I still have no idea who it is, so I'll be quite surprised if I'm right...I need you to put a stamper on my wild answer Arestevana.
