Used by any of the Fellowship?

Meneltarmacil · 12-31-2005, 09:02 PM

Can I hit you with it?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2006, 06:55 AM

Used by any of the Fellowship? Yep

(And the giveaway clue . . .

)

Can I hit you with it? Yes, but I've dodge worse things. Like combat knives and energy balls.

Firefoot · 01-03-2006, 08:18 AM

Used by a hobbit?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-03-2006, 08:19 AM

Used by a man?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2006, 09:27 AM

Used by a hobbit? Yes
Used by a man? No

Firefoot · 01-03-2006, 10:37 AM

Used before they reached Rivendell (the first time, that is...)?

Valier · 01-03-2006, 11:31 AM

Can it be carried in your hand?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-03-2006, 11:37 AM

Used by Sam?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-03-2006, 10:38 PM

Used before they reached Rivendell (the first time, that is...)? Yes
Can it be carried in your hand? Yes
Used by Sam? Yes

Someone should get it now.

Valier · 01-04-2006, 11:25 AM

Could be Sting?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-04-2006, 11:56 AM

The apple Sam threw at Bill Ferny when
leaving Bree?

Nilpaurion Felagund · 01-05-2006, 05:59 AM

The apple Sam threw at Bill Ferny when
leaving Bree? Yes

Your turn.

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-05-2006, 07:20 AM

Yea! Wise questions may now commence.

Gil-Galad · 01-05-2006, 01:42 PM

Is it Alive?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-05-2006, 01:46 PM

Is it Alive?

No.

Gil-Galad · 01-05-2006, 01:47 PM

Is it One of a kind?

Firefoot · 01-05-2006, 03:57 PM

An object?

Telchar · 01-05-2006, 04:03 PM

Is it a man?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-06-2006, 09:45 AM

Is it Alive? #1
No.

Is it One of a kind? #2
Well...yes, I imagine you'd say so.

An object?#3
No. It's not a physical object.

Is it a man? #4
No.

I believe the questioning can go beyond twenty,
but I thought I'd number them to see how close
to 20 questions this takes.

Gil-Galad · 01-06-2006, 12:33 PM

A word(or words) spoken?

NightKnight · 01-06-2006, 01:13 PM

Is it an event?

Firefoot · 01-07-2006, 07:46 AM

A place?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-07-2006, 09:23 AM

A word(or words) spoken? #5
Yes. (Good guess).

Is it an event? #6
Yes. It's an integral part of an event.

A place? #7
No.

Firefoot · 01-07-2006, 09:44 AM

Third Age?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-07-2006, 12:10 PM

Third Age? #8
Yes.

Firefoot · 01-07-2006, 12:29 PM

Said by one of the Fellowship?

Gil-Galad · 01-07-2006, 01:50 PM

The Words to open the Gate of Moria? (speak friend and enter)

NightKnight · 01-08-2006, 03:37 PM

Or simply the password, Mellon?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-09-2006, 09:55 AM

Said by one of the Fellowship? #9
Yes.

The Words to open the Gate of Moria? (speak friend and enter) #10
No.

Or simply the password, Mellon? #11
No.

Lindolirian · 01-09-2006, 10:33 AM

Said by a hobbit?

Dimturiel · 01-09-2006, 12:23 PM

Is it what Aragorn says at the corronation ("Et earello Endorenna utulien...")?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-09-2006, 03:02 PM

Said by a hobbit?
Yep.

Is it what Aragorn says at the corronation ("Et earello Endorenna utulien...")?
Nope.

Btw, since three questions above were essentially
repeats, I figure the actual number of
questions asked (it's only of academic interest)
is 10.

Lindolirian · 01-09-2006, 03:13 PM

Said by a Ringbearer (Frodo or Sam)?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-09-2006, 03:21 PM

Said by a Ringbearer (Frodo or Sam)?
Hmm. A tricksy question. Rather like
demanding three guesses as to what The Baggins
has in its pocketses. However, the
answer is: Yes. #11.

Lindolirian · 01-09-2006, 03:43 PM

Well that's the point isn't it? To get as much information out of the least number of questions? It was still "yes or no". But I was rather hoping you would have said "No" so that I didn't have to ask which one. But perhaps we'll wait on that.

Was it in the Two Towers?

Firefoot · 01-09-2006, 05:13 PM

Was it in RotK?

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-10-2006, 07:08 AM

Was it in the Two Towers? Nein. #12

Was it in RotK? Si. #13

**The Saucepan Man** · 01-10-2006, 07:35 AM

Frodo's words on claiming the Ring?

Tuor of Gondolin · 01-10-2006, 08:00 AM

Frodo's words on claiming the Ring? #14

Nyet.
