Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. There was a place in Michel Delving, the ______-house, which was somewhat like a museum.

Answer: mathom

In "Fellowship, Extended" Gandalf remarked that Bilbo had once owned a coat of mithril, or true silver, that was probably still gathering dust in the Michel Delving Mathom House. This surprised Gimli very much.
2. Which of the following is NOT one of the three original breeds of Hobbits?

Answer: Tooks

"The Harfoots were altogether smaller and lived in the highlands and hillsides; Stoors were heavier in build and they preferred flatlands and riversides; Fallohides were more like Elves--taller and fairer, loving trees and woodlands."
3. What language did the Hobbits speak?

Answer: Westron

Westron was also known as Common Speech, but is not actually English.
4. What was the title of the leader of Tookland?

Answer: Thain

The Hobbits took the Shire for their own when the war in the North Kingdom ended. A thousand years passed before the Dark Plague and the Long Winter's famine.
5. Hobbits in ancient times had small civil wars occasionally.

Answer: False

The prologue of the "Fellowship of the Ring" states, "At no time had Hobbits of any kind been warlike, and they never fought among themselves."
6. Hobbits had very keen eyes, and shot well with a bow.

Answer: True

They were also very good with stones, so if you ever see a Hobbit with a stone, run.
7. What is a "smial?"

Answer: tunnel

Before Hobbits began to build above ground, they lived in holes, with connecting tunnels to the rooms. A tunnel is a "smial" as Tolkien stated in the "Fellowship of the Ring."
8. Many Hobbits had seen the Sea from a distance, but because of their inability to swim, never ventured near to the water.

Answer: False

Most Hobbits had in fact never even seen the Sea, and it became "a word of fear among them" as they began to mistrust the Elves.
9. What kind of books did Hobbits enjoy most?

Answer: filled with things they already knew

"They loved to have books full of things they already knew, set out fair and square with no contradictions, with everything plain and simple."
10. Which of the following is NOT considered by Hobbits one of the best types of pipe-weed?

Answer: Hornblower's Best

Tobold Hornblower grew pipe-weed first; however, no one called him Tobold, and his pipe-weed was known as Old Toby.
