I forgot to say that the sport was golf <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

ok, next one - this two persons were related, and were generally known as the tallest (= largest) and the oldest of their race, but only until the certain time, for indeed they were surpassed in due time by their own blood, - former by two followers, and latter by one. So, name them all.

Bullroarer Took, and Gerontius Took.
Merry and Pippin were (under heavy Ent-draught doping <img src=wink.gif ALT=""> ) taller than Bandobras, and Bilbo (again, under heavy doping, this time the Ring) surpassed even the Old Took's age.

Well, if you mean the greatest of each, then the Silmarils for the Elves, and the Nauglamir for the Dwarves. If you want the greatest works they produced together, I would say the Nauglamir, as it encompassed a Silmaril within it and the caves of Menegroth, as both Elves and Dwarves labored long to make that the &quot;fairest dwelling of any king that has ever been east of the sea.&quot;

I wouldn't consider Carn Dum in the Mountains of Angmar, I didn't even really consider a real mountain range. They aren't listed anywhere as separate from the Misty Mountains. At least I haven't seen them listed as separate.

Ok, I'm wrong there. Sorry about that. My map seemed to indicate that the Mountains of Angmar were separate from the Misty Mountains. I looked it up, however, and found that is not so. They're just another part of the Misty Mountains. My mistake!
