Double scrambled quotes. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

wilwarin538 · 09-01-2005, 08:31 AM

I noticed two threads here in Quotable Quotes and I have decided to join them together to make one thread. Thoses two thread were Unscramble the quotes and Sort out the letters!!.

So this is how it works. The question asker picks a quote from the LotR, such as

Quote:

One ring to rule them all.

and scrambles the letters in each individual word plus scrambles the words themselves, to make:

Quote:

temh ot uerl lal nOe igrn

You don't have to keep the capital, I just did that to show you how it works.

You also need to say who said it. So here is the first question:

Quote:

si lal litgrte edos lodg htta otn.

Who said it?

Enjoy!

Quote:

All that is gold does not glitter

That was Gandalf in the letter to Frodo, but Bilbo was the one who made the words up.

wilwarin538 · 09-01-2005, 08:45 AM

I thought I'd start with an easy one. Good job!

You may continue.

Glirdan · 09-01-2005, 09:00 AM

Well here goes:

Quote:

niwd o dawnnigre, ofrm wens het tawh sewt, ot irgnb em ightnto od ouy

I think this one is a little more challenging. Good luck!

Kath · 09-01-2005, 11:42 AM

Quote:

"What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?"

Which is Aragorn in his lament for Boromir methinks.

Glirdan · 09-01-2005, 01:14 PM

...correct my good lady!

Your thread.

*mutters to self* and I thought it was challenging.

Kath · 09-01-2005, 03:48 PM

Honestly Glirdan your edit means I can't do my Eowyn quote!

Ah well another time perhaps, next:

Quote:

"si ddielr aehv ewll aegnrsstt eehr ew eht dfnou ahtt ety"

Glirdan · 09-01-2005, 04:11 PM

Well then take comfort Kath for you have stumped me with "aegrsstt"!

I am stuck! I have found out the other words, but without that one word I can't seem to find anything that makes sense. Good one!

Kath · 09-01-2005, 04:49 PM

I do apologise, the reason you can't get it is because I missed out a letter. That word should be:

Quote:

aegnrsstt

Hope that helps!

Glirdan · 09-02-2005, 01:42 PM

Darn you Kath! It's still got me stumped! I'd try and guess, but I can't for the life of me (or should I say death of me?) figure out what it is! There are numerous possiblitlites. But I shall not give up!!

Mango of Doom · 09-03-2005, 01:02 PM

"Well here is the strangest riddle we have yet found!" Legolas in The White Rider

Kath · 09-04-2005, 07:06 AM

Correct Mango of Doom! Your go.

Mango of Doom · 09-04-2005, 11:05 AM

Hinkt ams uoy thaw of leevs onw do?

Glirdan · 09-04-2005, 11:09 AM

Quote:

" What do you think of Elves now Sam?"

I believe that was Frodo to Sam when they met the Elves on their wasy to Crickhollow.

Mango of Doom · 09-04-2005, 11:56 AM

Correct

Glirdan · 09-04-2005, 12:04 PM

This one might be a little trickyer:

Quote:

eht aelon doost bdegir nopu eh adhosw ddeefi efir bhot adn adn

Good luck!

Kath · 09-04-2005, 12:44 PM

"He stood alone upon the bridge and defied both shadow and fire."

About Gandalf but I don't know who said it unless maybe Aragorn.

Glirdan · 09-04-2005, 12:46 PM

Right quote, wrong person. It was Frodo singing a song about Gandalf in Lothlorien. But I'll give it to you anyway.

Kath · 09-04-2005, 12:56 PM

Thanks!

Quote:

"Your finger would remember their old strength better, if they grasped a sword-hilt"

That was Gandalf to Théoden at Edoras when Gandalf "awoke" Théoden from the darkness of the poison of Grima.

Kath · 09-04-2005, 01:06 PM

But of course! Your thread.

Glirdan · 09-04-2005, 01:16 PM

Thank you my lady.

Quote:

You try to choke poor Smeagol. Dust and ashes, he can't eat that. He must starve.

Said by Gollum to Frodo.

Kath · 09-04-2005, 01:32 PM

"You try to choke poor Smeagol. Dust and ashes, he can't eat that. He must starve."

Poor old Smeagol to Sam and Frodo.

EDIT: Beat me to it Wilwa!

Glirdan · 09-04-2005, 01:49 PM

Well, you both are right. But since Wilwa beat you to it Kath, it's her thread. But at least you get the satisfaction of knowing that you were right!

So take it away Wilwa.

wilwarin538 · 09-04-2005, 01:59 PM

Thankee!

"But it makes the the darkness seem heavier, thinking of all those lamps!" Sam, in a journey in the dark

wilwarin538 · 09-04-2005, 02:23 PM

But of course.

Mango of Doom · 09-04-2005, 02:31 PM

Oeorgfntt i ttouhhg ouy dah all taobu me

Kath · 09-04-2005, 03:13 PM

"I thought you had all forgotten about me."

Which I think is Merry to Pippin but I will admit to not having looked.

Mango of Doom · 09-05-2005, 02:28 AM

Almost the correct quote, almost correct character :P

wilwarin538 · 09-05-2005, 06:30 AM

Maybe: "I though you all had forgotten about me"

Pippin to Merry.

Mango of Doom · 09-05-2005, 08:54 AM

Again, neither are quite right

Kath · 09-05-2005, 09:02 AM

"I thought you had forgotten all about me."

And I'll say Merry to Gandalf then.

Mango of Doom · 09-05-2005, 09:20 AM

So close! Correct quote, wrong person.

Kath · 09-05-2005, 09:21 AM

Ah! Ah it's Frodo! Is it Frodo? To Sam?

Mango of Doom · 09-05-2005, 09:26 AM

Its Pippin to Gandalf, but you can have it

Kath · 09-05-2005, 09:31 AM

Thank you! I thought maybe if I acted slightly crazy you'd give it me to shut me up

You are correct, and it was to people in general I believe. Your thread.
