I came up with a really good one and didn't want to wait.

Elves
Men
Ents
Hobbits
Orcs

This is a killer question!

Re: Another Odd Man Out

I'll say it's a killer, since there are probably about 1,000 different answers.

Hobbits, bcause they did not play a role in the Battle of Helm's Deep?

Re: Another Odd Man Out

Orks - because they are bread/invented by another Power than Iluvatar?

Re: Another Odd Man Out

Ents, because they were probably the only ones who didn't smoke (I don't know about orcs?). <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Ents. The only race without children.

Re: Another Odd Man Out

Hobbits the only ones not mentioned in the long list of living creatures?

Re: Another Odd Man Out

oh yeah, O.k then Orcs since they were the only ones not listed after the War of the Ring?

Ents

Some of you guessed the right answer, but none of you for the right reason. Here's a hint.

Four of these races did something that the fifth one didn't. (a hint - the orcs did it frequently, and the hobbits are known only to have done it once).

- Maglor

You guys are going to love the answer.

Wild guess

Maybe ents? Because they are the only who didn't enter in Torech Ungol or fought against Shelob?
Orcs did enter often in those passages and frodo and Sam entered once.

Ents

Okay - I already stupidly gave away the answer - Ents. But why? What did no ent ever do that was done at least once by an elf, a human, a hobbit and an orc?

Re: Ents

Ents never killed a member of their own race.

Bingo

Exactly, Falmar.

Unless it is tucked away somewhere in the HoME books, there is no recorded incident anywhere of an ent slaying another ent.

(If you are wondering about hobbits, remember Gollum killed Deagol).

I'm not sure about dwarves which is why they weren't included in the list.

Go Falmar!

Re: Bingo

That was a good question Maglor, but didn't hobbits also kill other hobbits in the scouring of the Shire?

Re: Bingo

I don't think they did. They just got killed by ruffians. <img src=biggrin.gif ALT=":D">

Battle Of Bywater

It does not specifically say one way or the other, but the implication (Frodo - &quot;There is to be NO killing of hobbits ...) is that they did not. Some hobbits were killed at the battle, however. In any event, it doesn't technically change the answer.

Re: Battle Of Bywater

Yes, I think you're right -- it doesn't say any hobbit killed a hobbit. Like I said, good question, Maglor.

Re: Battle Of Bywater

Denethor of Gondor, Hurin Thalion, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins, Elwe Singollo, King Theoden.

Which doesn't belong? And why?

Re: Battle Of Bywater

Elwe, the only one to live over 200 years? <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

Denethor

Denethor was the only one who gave in to the will of an enemy.

Elwe - refused to give up the Nuaglamir
Theoden - charged the Nazgul
Hurin - defied Morgoth even while imprisoned
Lobelia - attempted to fight off the ruffians

Denethor - Was overwhelmed by his visions, gave up and commited suicide.

Re: Falmar

I think Telchar gave a good answer, although not the one I was thinking of. I was thinking that Elwe was the only one that did not have a son die before him.

Go ahead Telchar.

Celebrimbor was the only one who was not a grandchild of Finwe? (he was a great-grandson)

Realms

They each had their own realms, except one of the sons of Feanor - I can't remember which one.

Celebrimbor - Lindon
Finrod - Nargathrond
Galadriel - Lorien
Turgon - Gondolin
Celegorm / Curifin - ?

I know I'm close, so I'm going to guess Celegorm

Re: Realms

Yeah until your hint and Falmar's near miss I was going to say Galadriel, the only one not to die in M.E.

I have to think of a new Q; if anyone else has a good one ready, go ahead.
