How about some trivia questions that involve SUPERLATIVES (largest, longest, oldest, etc.)?

I will pose one:

BRAVEST --

According to the narrator, what was the BRAVEST thing that Bilbo ever did?

Herm

Erm...I'm not real up to date with the Hobbit (meaning I've had to read all these dodgy books for English in between Tolkien and haven't read the Hobbit for half a year or so <img src=rolleyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"> ) but I suppose it would be...when he was in Mirkwood, fighting spiders. I know that's not right, but it's a sound guess to my mind. I think it was something on Erebor. Ai! <img src=ohwell.gif ALT=":/"> Btw, good idea Oddyseus.

Re: Herm

The bravest thing Bilbo ever did was to continue down the tunnel to Smang's lair.

Re: Superlatives

Voronwë is correct -- continuing down the tunnel after hearing Smaug SNORING ! The narrator thought this was braver than battling 40 or 50 giant spiders for some reason.

Your turn, Voronwë.

Re: Superlatives

I'll keep to the superlative theme.

Who was the oldest (known) elf in Middle Earth at the time of the War of the Ring?

I put the q mark because I could not really believe I snatched away a question just before HIstarion's eyes!

Which are the highest mountains of Arda?

Re: Wisest

Wisest what?

One of Saruman's many titles was Saruman the Wise.

But my answer is Gandalf.

Yup

I was, infact, looking for Gandalf. Saruman would also have fitted the bill, but I don't feel that he was wise enough. He allowed himself to be led by the Ring, and evil desires. Any number of the Eldar would have also fitted - Cirdan, Elrond and Galadriel for example. Continue, o Impaler!

Saruman would also have fitted the bill, but I don't feel that he was wise enough. He allowed himself to be led by the Ring, and evil desires. Any number of the Eldar would have also fitted - Cirdan, Elrond and Galadriel for example. Continue, o Impaler! - enep</p> __________________ - enep
