About the contest, and the number of kills for Gimli and Legolas, how they seem a bit unrealistic (as well as Hurin), even within the context of Middle-earth....It might just be a thing of rational vs. irrational. These occurences happen every day in reality, things that society can't explain, but they happen...miracles.
I mean how does a guy get a nail shot in his head and doesn't realize it until 6 days later that his head is throbbing. Goes in to get an x-ray and there's a nail in his head. It went through his brain, I believe his eye nerve, yet after the nail's removal he had no mental damage or loss of vision. How does something like this happen? Don't know, but it does. Just a matter of an irrational occurence that can't be logically explained, yet we still try to explain it.
