If This is the Answer, What is the Question? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This game is quite simple to play, rather harder to explain. I had concidered doing this in the Quiz room, but I thought it would be much better and funnier if it were posted here.

Basically, it involves the posing of an answer to which a question must be found. Like Crazy Captions, one will be posted, preferably in bold and italics and underlined so it stands out, and then anyone can throw in suggestions for what the question could be. Make them Middle Earth related, amusing and most of all, fitting to the answer. Here are some examples...

Some one poses the answer

"45 Million"

One suggests:

"How many orcs would it take to actually kill one of the main characters?"

Another says:

"Exactly how many strands of hair did Galadriel give to Gimli when he next came to Lorien?"

And so on until we exhaust the possibilities of that answer and then someone else can pose another one for us to have fun with. Make sense? Didn't think so.

Here is the first answer...

"Four hundred Horses."

What is the question?
