Yes.

Thorongil · 02-26-2004, 04:48 AM

Hmmm...

Bilbo is to Frodo

as

Beren is to _______

Thorongil · 03-01-2004, 08:16 AM

*bump*
Come on, folks. No guesses?

Samwise · 03-01-2004, 09:11 AM

I have no clue, but just to give you a guess.....
Thingol?

Thorongil · 03-01-2004, 10:53 AM

Well, CORRECT!
Nice guess!
The connection was the giving of something shiny. (Sting, silmaril)
Your turn.

Samwise · 03-01-2004, 04:21 PM

Whoa...Okay, let me think, here.....

Longo is to Mungo

as Isumbras IV is to_________.

symestreem · 03-01-2004, 08:25 PM

Longo was Mungo's son. Isumbras IV was the son of Gerontius Took, AKA the Old Took.

Samwise · 03-01-2004, 08:28 PM

Mmm...yes, but that's not exactly the connection I was looking for...(goes to check book again).

[EDIT] Yes, they were both sons, but there WAS something else I was looking for.

Thorongil · 03-02-2004, 03:48 AM

Longo were the third child of Mungo
Isumbras IV was the third child of Gerontius.

Samwise · 03-02-2004, 06:24 AM

That's it, Thorongil. Please proceed.

Thorongil · 03-02-2004, 07:22 AM

symestreem got me on the track...

Galadriel is to Gimli
as
Gwaihir is to ______

Samwise · 03-02-2004, 07:45 AM

Gandalf?

Thorongil · 03-02-2004, 10:01 AM

That's the second time you took it on the first time. Your turn again.

Samwise · 03-02-2004, 06:48 PM

Okay....

I hope I've got this right....

Isildur is to the One Ring,

as

Durin is to __________

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-02-2004, 08:07 PM

The Balrog (Isildur's Bane and Durin's Bane).

Samwise · 03-02-2004, 08:31 PM

Of course, you are correct. Please give us the next puzzling puzzle, so to speak.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-04-2004, 07:37 AM

Good-o.

OK, let's see if this works:

Erebor is to Beorn

as

Pelennor Fields is to ...

Rimbaud · 03-04-2004, 09:19 AM

Eowyn? (Knocking off the leader of the opposition (in the field)).

Thorongil · 03-04-2004, 10:34 AM

Ghan-buri-Ghan?

Both him and Beorn live near those places.

**The Saucepan Man** · 03-04-2004, 01:11 PM

Spot on, Rimbaud. Well done.

The floor is yours ...

Rimbaud · 03-05-2004, 04:30 AM

Aragorn is to Bree

as

Boromir is to _________.

Arestevana · 03-05-2004, 07:57 AM

Rivendell?

Aragorn met the hobbits in Bree, and Boromir met them in Rivendell.

Rimbaud · 03-05-2004, 08:03 AM

Nice 'n' easy. Your turn.

Nilpaurion Felagund · 03-20-2004, 02:24 AM

Beleriand is to First Age

as

Númenor is to _______.

NightKnight · 03-20-2004, 04:06 AM

A few days later...

Oh, all right. The thread is yours, Master Gardener.

EDIT: Oh, and the theme was "Foundered lands from this age."

Samwise · 03-21-2004, 11:51 PM

I'll have to take your word for it, 'cause I honestly had no clue.

Frodo is to the One Ring as

Sam is to _______

There are a couple of different answers that could be correct on this one. May be easy....probably will be....

Good night.

NightKnight · 03-23-2004, 01:14 AM

It's ok, but it made me wonder...

Arvedui III · 04-05-2004, 04:57 PM

*Bump*

NightKnight?

Samwise · 04-05-2004, 06:53 PM

...since NightKnight was supposed to take his turn. Someone else can go.

Fingolfin II · 04-08-2004, 01:24 AM

Well if nobody wants it:

Fingon is to Maedhros as

Carcharoth is to _______

Samwise · 04-08-2004, 07:52 AM

Sleepy Ranger · 04-08-2004, 11:37 AM

Both lost a hand due to the other.
