This is for REAL Tolkien buffs! The ones who can come up with questions without cracking the spine of a book. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)"> Mind you they have to be solvable too.

Here goes :

Name six of Frodo's closest hobbit friends as mentioned in LOTR without picking it up.

"Good Morning!" said the dragon. "You seem surprised."
"Good Morning! said Farmer Giles. "I am that!"

Re: No Peek Chestnuts

Re: No Peek Chestnuts

Yes, ME stands for Middle-Earth. Also, UT stands for Unfinished Tales, LotR stands for Lord of the Rings, FotR stands for Fellowship of the Ring, tTT stands for the Two Towers, RotK stands for Return of the King, HoME stands for History of Middle-Earth, and so on. They are just abreviations of we use on our site to save the typing <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">
