Here’s the answer for yesterday’s Tolkine trivia question. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about click on the link.)
The question was “Who was the first Hobbit to wear the Ring?” I thought this would be easy, but I was surprised at the debate. The correct answer is Smeagol/Gollum and yes, he was a hobbit with the Stoors being a race of hobbits. As final judge and arbiter, I get final say on this. So there.
Now here’s today’s question: What were Gandalf’s last words before setting sail from the Grey Havens?
Sort of silly, no?
If you have the books, it’s more of a “reference” quiz, than a trivia question.
As I said, you’re not supposed to go to the books. This is a test of memory.
Eric: I believe it was: “FOOL OF A TOOK”.
Dom: You will be happy to know that I am reading LOTR to my 7 and 10 year olds out loud every night. We are currently in the Mines of Moria!
After watching the movies, they were quite please to become acquainted with that Merry Old Fellow. My daughter (7)still speaks of Goldberry!
