Familial Ties (with no shoelaces!)
 

You link a character to another, using these handy-dandy symbols:

-m> = means that the previous one is the mother of the next one.
-f> = means father.
-d> = means daughter.
-s> = means son.

OK, here's an example:

Q: Fëanor -> Galadriel
A: Fëanor -s> Finwë -f> Finarfin -f> Galadriel

That was easy, wasn't it. now try Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. Have fun! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

->Elenrod

Frodo -s> Drogo -s> Fosco -s> Largo -s> Balbo -F> Mungo -f> Bungo -f> Bilbo

There you go

Bilbo -s> Bungo -s> Mungo -s> Balbo -f> Ponto -b> Lily -s> Largo -f> Fosco -f> Dora -s> Dudo -b> Drogo -f> Frodo

By the way, that's how my post would've worked if -b> meant brother and -s> meant sister! Sorry about that!

Sleepy Ranger, you're correct! Absolutely correct!

And vy ze vay, welcome to the 'Downs, The Perky Ent! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Try my thing where -S> means son, -D> means daughter, -f> means father, -m> means mother, -b> means brother and -s> means sister. Try it for FRODO and MERRY! Have fun.

Its sleepy rangers turn, maybe you should take at look at the quiz room rules...

Next question.
Nain I -> Fili

Nain -f> Thrain I -f> Thorin I -f> Gloin -f> Oin -f>Nain II -f> Dain -f>Thror -f> Thrain II -f> Dis -F> Fili.

Top that!

Perky Ent, maybe you mean -m>. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Well sorry if I can't tell that "Dis" is a man or woman. Oops

and Dis -m> are kinda the same...

Dís is female... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Yes, indeed, Dis was most definitely female. But, of course, you probably couldn't tell her apart from Fili's father. Therein lies the main problem, methinks.

Well if it makes you happy:

Nain I -f> Thrain I -f> Thorin I -f> Gloin -f> Oin -f>Nain II -f> Dain -f>Thror -f> Thrain II -f> Dis -m> Fili.


HAPPY!

Malva Brandybuck (born Headstrong) -m> Madoc -f> Marmadoc -f> Gorbador -f> Rorimac -f> Saradoc -f> Meriadoc (Merry)
