Boots A New Game!

I have a new game!!!! I will ask a series of 10 questions (one at a time), and when someone gets it right, I will give them a point and I will ask another question. After 10 questions whoever has the most points gets to ask the next series of questions. Here is the first one:

1)How many children did Sam and Rose have?

Lomion = Maeglin so his parents were Aredhel and Eol. Aredhel died when Eol threw a poison dart at Maeglin and she jumped in the way. Eol's death was soon after as he was thrown from Caragdur on Turgon's orders.

Merry, Pippin, Frodo.
Using Common Sense, as Sam wasn't really related to any of them, so it must be those 3. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

The three I was talking about were Pippin, Frodo, and Bilbo, but of course Merry is in there too. So you each get a point.

score:
Raefindel-1
Pallando B.C-2
the real findorfin-4
Lindolirian-1
Diamond18-2
LePetitChoux-1
TolkienGurl-1

So the grand prize winner is......
the real findorfin! with a score of four points, it is now his turn to post the questions!
