Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of Tom Bombadil's horse?

Answer: None of the Above

 'Where does that other old animal, that Fatty Lumpkin, come from?' asked Frodo. 'He's mine,' said Tom...' - from 'The Fellowship of the Ring' ('FOTR'), p. 199. Fatty Lumpkin is the name of Tom Bombadil's horse, not Fatty Pumpkin.
2. What is the name of Legolas' father, the king of Wood Elves in Mirkwood?

Answer: Thranduil

'...Legolas, a messenger from his father, Thranduil, the King of the Elves of Nothern Mirkwood', 'FOTR', p. 315.
3. What was the Shire year when Gandalf wrote the letter that was given to Barliman Butterbur, who in turn was supposed to give the note to Frodo when he arrived in Bree?

Answer: 1418

 'The Prancing Pony, Bree, Midyear's Day, Shire Year, 1418.' - 'FOTR', p. 230. So reads the heading on Gandalf's letter, written as stated in 1418.
4. What does the name of the watch tower on top of Weathertop translate to?

Answer: Hill of Wind

 For translations, check in the appendicies of 'The Silmarillion.' The watch tower on top of Weathertop is called Amon Sul, 'FOTR', p.250. 'Amon' translates to 'Hill' and 'Sul' translates to 'Wind' giving 'Hill Wind' or 'Hill of Wind.'
5. What is 'the cordial of Imladris'?

Answer: Miruvor

 Given to Gandalf from Elrond, miruvor is a liquor that gives energy and vigor. 'It is miruvor, the cordial of Imladris.' - Gandalf, 'FOTR', p. 379.
6. When did white wolves invade the Shire over the Brandywine River?

Answer: 1311

 Everyone remembers 'The Fell Winter of 1311, when white wolves invaded the Shire over the frozen Brandywine.' 'FOTR', p. 377.
7. Who is being described in the passage: 'He disappears for a month, or a year, and then he pops up again.'?

Answer: Aragorn

 The one and only Aragorn, or Strider, as he is known in Bree, is being described to the hobbits by Barliman Butterbur, when Frodo asks about him. 'FOTR', p. 214.
8. When the Company was traveling through Hollin, a flock of what appeared to be black crows flew over the Company. Later on it was determined that thse black crows were Crebain, and not native of the area. Who was on watch when the crebain flew over the Company?

Answer: Sam and Aragorn

 Sam was on watch and soon after was joined by Aragorn when Sam pointed out something that looked like a dark cloud. 'FOTR', p. 372.
9. Who said the following: 'Well...I have not brought the Sun, she is walking in the blue fields of the South, and a little wreath of snow on this Redhorn hillock troubles her none at all.'?

Answer: Legolas

 Legolas said the quote after coming back from walking on the tall snowfall near the Redhorn Gate. 'FOTR', p. 382.
10. What is the word that Hobbits use to describe something that had no use but that they did not want to throw away?

Answer: Mathom

Mathom is the word they used to call things they did not want to toss out but still had no use for them. Hence the name of the museum in Michel Delving which is called 'The Mathom-House.' - 'FOTR', Prologue p. 25.
11. Fill in the blank: 'The dark fire will not avail you, flame of ________. Go back to the shadow! You cannot pass!'?

Answer: Udun

 Udun is the answer. Gandalf shouted this at the Balrog, Durin's bane, when the Company was crossing the bridge at Khazad-Dum. The Balrog was created by Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, and put beneath Moria. Udun is the plane in Mordor beyond the Black Gate. 'FOTR', p. 429.
12. Who is being described in the passage: 'An Elvin-maid there was of old, A shining star by day: Her mantle white was hemmed with gold, Her shoes of silver-grey.'?

Answer: Nimrodel

 Legolas sings of Nimrodel, who bears the same name as the stream outside of Lothlorien when the Company was on the outskirts of the forest. 'FOTR', p. 440.
13. What is the Elvish name for the tree-house platform that Frodo sleeps on outside the borders of Lothlorien?

Answer: Talan

'...they found that there had been built a wooden platform...the Elves called it a talan.' 'FOTR', p. 444. They are called in the Common Tongue "flets".
14. Which of the four Hobbits dreamed of falling water while sleeping at Tom Bombadil's house?

Answer: Merry

 'It was the sound of water that Merry heard falling into his quiet sleep...' 'FOTR', p. 178. Pippin thought that he heard certain squeaky sounds, Frodo had a dream of what might be Gandalf escaping from Orthanc or Weathertop (I am not sure) and Sam slept like a log, 'if logs are contented.'
15. The Argonath, or Pillars of Kings, made in the likeness of Isildur and Anarion are said to have their left hand 'raised palm outwards in gesture of warning...' What are the two statues each holding in their right hand?

Answer: Both have axes

 '...in each hand there was an axe...' 'FOTR', p. 508. If you haven't noticed however, in the newly released film when the Company passes by the statues, both Isildur and Anarion seem to have swords, not axes.
