Urwen, that was some brilliant passwording. And Hui, that is some creative password-setting!


EDIT: I have a funny feeling 8 is SILVER, for the thirty silver pieces Barliman "donated" to the cause... But can't explain it.
I wonder if the song could be Penny Lane ... except the word PENNY occurs more than 3 times in the song. Or reference to The Thru'penny Opera? I can't remember 3 pennies in the song Frodo sings in The Prancing Pony.

Oh! I've got it. SIL is 3 letters from a SILL, which is below a window, and VER is 3 letters from VERSE.

EDIT:

3. COPPER. Slang for policeman, and a copper can be a tub/receptacle.

1. EARTH? Ear, eat ... thorn made the 'th' sound?

5. FIRE, brought by Gandalf?
