Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'They have lit the fire of Orthanc under our feet!' Who says this?

Answer: Aragorn.

While Aragorn, Eomer and Gimli rest, the Uruk-hai light explosive mines and blow up the culvert. Legolas was not present at the time and Theoden was inside the caves, waiting for the right time when he and the Eorlingas could charge the enemy down.

2. What were the two meanings of Orthanc?

Answer: Elvish: Mount Fang; Language of the Mark: Cunning Mind.

Funny thing isn't it? It turned out that the Rohan meaning was right in the case of Saruman, as he did betray Rohan and poison Theoden's mind with the help of Wormtongue.

3. What day is it when the hobbits and Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas meet up in Isengard according to Shire reckoning?

Answer: 5th of March.

Merry and Pippin spent four days in captivity and the rest with the Ents. Isengard was flooded on the seventh day.

4. Treebeard and the Ents bring down the tower of Orthanc.

Answer: False

Orthanc could not be destroyed by the Ents. The Ents 'could not get a grip on the walls.' Noting this, Teebeard decided to destroy the dam holding the river Isen back. This flooded Isengard and the secret tunnels underneath it so that Saruman couldn't escape and Gandalf could deal with him.

5. What does Eomer call Wormtongue when Wormtongue throws the Palantir at Gandalf?

Answer: A 'Murderous rogue!'

Gandalf and the whole of Theoden's army, along with Gimli, Aragorn, Legolas and the hobbits go to parley with Saruman. When Saruman is banished from the Order and his staff broken, Wormtongue decides to do some damage and throws the Palantir of Orthanc at Gandalf.

This was a prized possesion of Saruman. Unfortunately, Pippin is drawn towards it and looks in the stone. He is caught by the Great Eye and almost reveals prized info about the location and bearer of the Ring.

6. What does Sam say when he has to leave his rope behind at Emyn Muil?

Answer: Ninnyhammers!

Sam feels sad when he has to leave his rope at Emyn Muil. He feels that it will leave a signpost for Gollum. Luckily though, when Sam pulls the rope, it unwinds and falls. Frodo comments that he doesn't trust Sam's ropetying methods anymore.

7. What does Sam say when he notices Gollum climbing down the rock face he just managed to climb down?

Answer: Snakes and Adders!

The book compares Gollum with a nasty crawling spider on a wall.He climbs down the wall quicker than the hobbits, but at one bit he loses his grip and falls all the way down! The Elves say 'His/Their/Your time on Middle Earth has ended.' It's their stlye.

8. What does Sam say that he would do for Gollum if Gollum got herbs for Sam's soup while they camped at Ithilien?

Answer: That he will think better of Gollum.

At first, Smeagol gets two rabbits to his 'master.' Sam takes them, cuts them up, and stews them, much to the disappointment and anger of Gollum. When Sam askes for herbs, Gollum refuses. Sam says that he will think better of Gollum, but Gollum refuses to get the herbs. Makes life difficult, really.

9. How does Faramir find out about the Ring and the Quest?

Answer: Sam tells Faramir

Unlike in the movie, Faramir realises in the beginning that taking the Ring to Denethor would only help Sauron and hasten the destruction of Minas Tirith. He agrees to help Frodo.

10. What is the choice of Master Samwise?

Answer: To continue the Quest.

Sam takes the Ring, the Phial and Sting from Frodo as Sam thinks he is dead. However, Frodo was only paralyzed. Sam gets this news from the Orcs when they find Frodo's body.
