Well, you know how it is with Tolkien - the first draft always needs revision. So there must be several...

Hey! They wouldn't go as far as cannibalism!

How many fish did Gollum eat under the Misty Mountains?

That's easy, one for every Tolkienbashing review ever written.

Let's have another go at this one:

How many monsters does it take to eat all the critics?

So here you go!

Depends on the levels. A 20 level monster can eat 56,8 level 5 critics, but the ratio critically changes if the critics have a +3 reputation bonus.

How many critics does it take to avoid being eaten by the monsters?

Two. The first critic feeds the brain of the second critic to a monster; the monster is sickened by the repugnance of the thoughts in the critic's brain, and loses its lunch. Word gets out to all the other monsters and the critics are safe..... (blast it) ..... to continue their Tolkienbashing.

How many posthumous volumes of original Tolkien material does it take to satisfy the voracious appetites of Tolkien fanatics?

One age be they living in Valinor or Beleriand, two and half be they living in Edhellond, about three be they living in Rivendell, Lórien or Grey Havens, maximally four if they live in Mirkwood. However, if any of them lived at the Barrow-Downs, they wouldn't get bored ever!

How many Hobbits does it take to drink up the whole Green Dragon?
