Hmmm

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.

Re: Hmmm

Hmmm You're mixing up the bad guys!

The Mouth of Sauron:

The Lord og the Nazgul:
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Old foll! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it?<hr></blockquote>

<marquee>It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes!!! ... Anar kaluva tielyanna!</marquee></p>

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

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] 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) [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Yep, I gave you an easy one -- only Celegorm was not a suicide.

ERU, I'M GOOD [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - OK this shouldn't be that hard

BEORN
THRAIN
BOLG
BILBO
THORIN

[ September 25, 2001: Message edited by: Telchar ]

Thrain, because he did not participate in the Battle of Five Armies?

Ohh Yes - not too hard was it? [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Well that's two easy ones in a row -- I have to come up with something harder -- give me a little time.

http://www.hbgk.dk/mus.gif My god - He is going to come up with something really hard!!!! Aaargghhhhhh!!!! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I thought it was "stonehearted", not "wise-*** ".

OK here's another easy one:

Galadriel
Gandalf
Faramir
Frodo

hmmm... lots of possibilities...

One would be that Faramir wasn't on the ship sailing West with the others. or that he never wore a Ring of Power [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

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??? [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

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

P.S. no [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

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

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

Thranduil
Galadriel
Nerdanel
Gildor

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

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN !

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

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)

was she the only silvan elf?

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?)

Gildor -- the only unmarried one?

Nerdanel -- never met a Baggins?

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.

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

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

Was Galadriel the only blonde?

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...)

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

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.

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. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

The first one to read this may continue the thread.

Where does it say that Thranduil was blonde, 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.

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

Try this:

Feanor
Fingon
Luthien
Gwaihir

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

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

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

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

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

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 [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Anyway try this one [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gandalf
Frodo
Théoden
Gimli
Sam

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

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

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

Eomer
Legolas
Gandalf
Aragorn

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

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

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