Tolkien refernce in an I.Q test - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was taking an online I.Q exam and what did I see?

A spaceship recieved three messages in a strange language from a distant planet. The astronauts studied the messages and found this. "Elros Aldarion Elendil" means "Danger Rocket Explosion". "Edain Minytaur Elros", means "Danger Spaceship Fire". And "Aldarion Gilmizor Gondor", means "Bad gas explosion". What does "Elendil" mean.

Danger, Explosion, Nothing, Rocket, Gas

This was found at universityoflife.com under "Serious I.Q tests". #36 on the test.

A similar question was found @ allthetests.com, under I.Q tests, then go to "test your I.Q free", #10

I thought that was pretty neat to see words from middle earth on an I.Q test of all things. Sorry, I would have put a link to go directly to the website but I have no idea how to do that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
