After your first guess? There will be, but try at least once more. If you don't have other ideas, I'm happy to give some hints.

Well, there are only so many bridges, so unless a bridge isn't really a bridge, I am bound to get it right eventually.

I think most of the lines still refer to Turin, but the 'bridge' one refers to Androg......

Gandalf called Pippin a fool when he revealed the Fellowship in Moria, and then he revealed the existence and the location of the Moria's bridge to them.

Turin is not either of the characters.

You're thinking along the right lines here.

Even with that, I can solve only half the riddle, and the shot part still mystifies me even after rereading the scene.

There are two people, with two shots, and two revelations. Your earlier post alluded to one of the parts described by the riddle; the rest comes from a different scene.

Edit: to help guide you, your post #2612 was half right and half wrong. Part of it is very much on track but part of it is irrelevant.
