148,297.
We arrive at this answer by the application of Thû's Axiom, which in its simplest form works like this: 1. Pick a number, any number 2. Multiply by the square root of the top speed (in microns per hour) of your favourite Scalextric car. 3. Add the number of hairs on the most famous yak 4. Divide by the number of times your bank manager blinked in the last five minutes 5. Write the result on a piece of paper and pass it to the nearest person with an 'x' in their name. They should repeat steps 1-4 above. 6. Ask The Squatter of Amon Rûdh how many Balrogs it takes to illuminate a lightbulb. 7. Get a better evil henchperson name. You can tell that I'm right because never in Tolkien's fiction do we see a Balrog in a situation where a lightbulb would be useful and a lightbulb has, in fact, been installed. This is clearly because in no version of the legends would there ever have been enough Balrogs, balrogs or balRogs (not to mention bAlrOgs) to power the number of bulbs required to make it a viable technology. How many eagles does it take to install a doorbell?

Zero. For a strange reason doorbells get installed without eagles. Saruman has a theory that the doorbells install themselves at just the thought of eagles doing it. This theory might be total rubbish. A famous orc scientist Stchû has worked on the matter for a long long time. She preaches that the doorbells are actually installed by Saruman and that he wants to frame the eagles for an unknown reason.
How many times did Tolkien rewrite The Lord of the Rings before it was published for the first time? |

None. He found it on the internet, printed it out, and sent it to the publishing company. Luckily for Tolkien, no one ever bothered to look into it. How many times will a BDer incorrectly guess another BDer's gender before he/she gets it right? ((Hopefully this is okay. I'll change it if it isn't))

If you smoke enough you'll see smoke silmarils, even though you're not really doing them
How many Druedain does it take to defeat Beorn?
