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.

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

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]

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]

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.

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.

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.
