Erundil 01-24-2004 09:13 PM

Man! Those last two sections are really hard! I got through the first ones really easy and then they say "At what age did Bilbo adopt Frodo as his heir?" and "In what year was The Hobbit first published?"
Needless to say, I bombed that section.

Finwe 01-24-2004 09:31 PM

Which is why you keep a nice copy of the Books next to you at all times while taking said quiz. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Hmmm.......perhaps I should leave the Shire to take up residence in Gondor and become the court historian [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Finwe 01-25-2004 01:18 PM

Court Historian is a very respectable post. Although I'd much prefer Resident Head Loremaster so I can be in charge of a nice big library and teach all the little kiddies about all the gory battles that took place in the First Age. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Which is why I quit when I couldn't remember who killed Azog. No books on hand when using a public computer. Although it is possible to cheat on that quiz (but I wouldn't do that and then post my result). I did quite well without looking at any books, though.

Naz 01-25-2004 03:39 PM

*gratefully accepts cookies* Mmm.. cookies^ ^

Either have books around, or pull up Encyclopedia of Ardra. The "how many days in a year" question killed Ary. He's gonna be mad now [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Ainaserkewen 01-26-2004 12:30 PM

That's pretty impressive without books Saucepan Man, I cheated however, and had to look a few things up.

I'm gonna try it again without the books to help me. But it goes really slow on my computer so I might not. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Shmuck!! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] I didn't make it through, I got stuck on level three with "Where are the Chamber of Fire and the Hall of Fire?"
Using the books is cheating, at least in my opinion, but then I still suck don't I? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I still had six wrong total up to that point. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Nimrothiel 01-27-2004 06:45 PM

Yay! I skimmed through the Silm a bit and I got all the answers right. I'm so proud of myself. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lathriel 01-27-2004 08:01 PM

Without the books I only got two wrong!
Although I did give myself a second chance twice.
Anyway, I haven't read the hobbit for a long, long time. So I'm proud of myself.

Ok, ok, stop grilling me so hard! I'll talk! I admit that I discovered the amazing wonder that is...dromroll please...THE BACK BUTTON ON YOUR BROWSER!!!!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Without it, I most certainly would have failed...I just couldn't take the rejection...and I called myself a LOTR fan... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ...sniff. I will now join the ranks of Naz,Lhunardawen,Erundil, and Miriel Undomiel. We shall be known as the FELLOWSHIP OF THE OUTKASTZ!!! YAY!!!
Byeness now!

I got 11 wrongs without books. I dont know the names of his wife and mother. Who knows that?

Sleeping Beauty 02-03-2004 05:34 PM

Someone who reads the biographical information. It's always nice to know where your author is coming from. Granted I didn't remember it for the quiz. x_x But I think I did well. I think missed like 14, but I pulled the back button cheat so I could feel like a Tolkien scholar with 111. Good quiz though, got to use the old noggin for something besides schoolwork. Thanks for the quiz link!

Linnahiril Tinnufinwen 02-06-2004 01:46 PM

I got through the first four tests, but not the last two. I'm not ashamed of myself, however, in the least. Just because someone is not an ardent Tolkien scholar doesn't mean they're not intelligent. I speak to all those who feel bad about not passing. I say, good job to all those who (honestly) passed the test. But not to worry, for those who didn't. It's just a little something to do for fun.

And also keeping in mind I've not read the whole Silmarillion yet.. only the first few chapters and Beren and Luthien. A bit of good guesswork there [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I've been mourning for so long...time to accept the cookies...

Yum! Thanks, Amariden. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*sniff*

Good thing I've read "The Magical World of the Lord of the Rings", I got some of my answers there. The ones you wouldn't read in LotR.

And good thing Nilpaurion was with me, so he helped me with Hobbit questions.

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