Thumbs up Do I sense the urge to do something violent?

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! Not again! This can't be! Why! Why! Why! *bonks head on a rock*

Adam, a random alter-ego: Does that hurt? Cool! He's hurting himself!

Oh, and yes, that is the answer, Mr. Man...Bildûr...your legion of characters at I - PA. *continues bonking head on the said rock*

Hobbit studied subject at North American university gaining initial recognition where another failed.

The Eye Oops! Forgot this one

No, it's not Elfstan Fairbarn.

And no hints until we've had a few more guesses.

It's quite simply, really ...

White-Hand I need a hint!

Pansy Baggins?

Somehow, I find that quite amusing.

Yeah, me too. But I think that's not the answer.

Andwise Roper?

Nope.

You know folks, it's really not that difficult. But here's a hint anyway - the cryptic clues are as follows:

Hobbit
studied subject
North American
university
initial recognition

Put these together and you should get the answer, for which the straight clue is:

where another failed

Capiche?

Sorry - I kept thinking that Hobbit was the straight clue.

- - - - - - - - - -

I'm pretty sure that's right, so to keep the game going I'll post a new one:

Father of friend, note, made noise and stole.

Eye

You should wait for confirmation, all the same.

Is the answer Paladin, father of Pippin Took (friend=pal, note=a, noise=din)?

Circumventing the hint-giving process by pointing out that the hint is in the question. How about a hint not in the question?

White-Hand A perfectly silly answer...

"alcoholic precious" reminds me of the time Gollum and I got a little drunk...*sighs*...memories...

Anyway, is it the One Ring?

It makes me think of Holdwine, a nickname for Merry, which actually meant good friend, but had other obvious implications as well. As for ruling position, he did receive this nickname from the King of Rohan, and Merry was also the Master of Buckland for sometime. Anyway, Happy Birthday!

Yes, Silmarien got it.

It's Goldwine.
Gold ~ precious
wine ~ alcoholic
and as a king, he is in a ruling position.

Please go on, Silmarien.
