"The Hobbit" - J.R.R Tolkien Trivia Quiz

Answer: 13

There are thirteen dwarves in the company.
Thorin, Oin, Gloin, Fili, Kili, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Ori and Nori to be exact.

Answer: Fili and Kili

Fili and Kili are Thorin's nephews who set out with the other eleven dwarves to reclaim their treasure stolen by the dragon Smaug. They were brave and strong dwarves but died in the end during the battle of the five armies protecting Thorin.

Answer: The full Moon

The light from the full moon revealed the hidden entrance that helped the dwarves and Bilbo get into the mountain with the help of a key that belonged to Thorin's father. They found that out while with Elrond in Rivendell.

Answer: His buttons

After getting past the large group of goblins, Bilbo lost the buttons on his vest.
The goblins were baffled by the mysterious event that happened right before their eyes as Bilbo was wearing the ring and therefore was invisible.

Answer: Beorn

Beorn was the bear hiding behind the trees making sure that his ponies returned back to their home. Hobbits have a keen sense of sight in comparison to the dwarves of the company. Bilbo spotted Beorn, yet he couldn't make out what it was or who it was at that moment.

Answer: His voice and stones

Bilbo used his voice and stones.
While trying to free the dwarves that were captured by the spiders, Bilbo, while invisible, threw rocks and called for the spiders to get them angry and draw attention away from the twelve of the company wrapped in spiderwebs.

Answer: He still had the ring on

Bilbo still had the ring on. After using the power of invisibility of the ring to free the twelve dwarves from the spiders, Bilbo still had the ring on his finger. The elves did not see him and didn't capture him.

Answer: A gem-free spot on his breast

While proving to Bilbo that he had no weak spot, Smaug revealed a small patch on his breast which was not encrusted with gems like the rest of his body, which led to his death. With that information, Bard, a man from Dale, was able to use his arrows to strike and take down the beast that was terrorizing his village.

Answer: wood elves, men of Dale, goblins, wargs and dwarves

Wood elves, the men of Dale, goblins, wargs and dwarves fought for the treasure of Dale until the men and elves teamed up with the dwarves to defeat the goblins and wargs.
In the end, the three split up the treasure.

Answer: Because of an unlucky number

Dwarves are very superstitious creatures and because Gandalf would occasionally leave the company, they needed a fourteenth person to avoid the unlucky number. Though the company wasn't really sure about Bilbo coming along in the beginning, he turned out to be a helpful addition to the group.
