All right, what do Sam Gamgee and Amroth have in common?

Well just read through UT a bit and I must say the only thing I guess they have in common (except simple things) is that they both jumped into water trying to reach the person they loved and cared about. (Amroth trying to swim back to shore knowing otherwise he would not find Nimrodel [ok, he would in Valinor, but the guy is anyway a bit strange] and Sam that wanted to join Frodo on his quest).

And that's what I had in mind. Nothing complicated, it was about realizing it. Please continue.

They were attacked by the Watcher in the Water? (in one case, with tragic result)

Why the face?
![]() Okay. What do Aragorn and Éomer have in common? (apart from a few battles they fought together)

Nooo...
![]() Besides that, Imrahil did too, at certain time, and Merry as well... and Gríma maybe would if he could.

Well...maybe that they both held Eowyn in the Houses of Healing while she was being cured (Aragorn said something like Eomer should also take her hand since Eowyn's love for her brother is bigger then the love for himself).

That's true, but not what I had in mind. An advice: forget Éowyn now. Forget all complicated. It's a very, let's say, simple thing.

That's true, but that was Thorin III. Stonehelm and Bard II. son of Brand as well...
...and that's true as well, but then I could include Frodo with the lot of them... ...so as you see, the answer is restricted to them. Or, to be precise, technically I am quite sure it was not restricted to them, but a) we are not told about it, and b) the concept of the question itself is put in that way that what I am asking just what do these two have in common. It's them who are important here - the emphasis is on this part of the question; and that determines the type of the question.

No, no, not such a "plain fact" in that sense... think more... more... more concrete things.

Maybe since they were the first to renew the oath of Cirion and Eorl?

No.
The answer is one word. (Or if you wanted, then two, one being a pronoun.)

Okay. A final hint.
Q: What do Aragorn and Éomer have in common? A: Their ............ (insert one word) Or you can say it differently, but this is also a way and also a large hint.

You have the wrong "their" there, TGEW. What you're looking for is "they're."
(Score one for grammar) Oh, and my vote goes to their choice of weapons. Swords are clearly the awesome.

Both wrong. Every Rohir and every Gondorian and most probably every Ranger of the North had a sword. This is not such a thing that everyone would have in common with them (though there could have been, and most likely were such people, yet they are not mentioned in the books).
Keep trying!

Oh, it's ok, TGEW. My boat sunk quite a while ago.
Hmm, I'll need to think about this puzzle, Legate. Give me some time.

Well that was a very difficult question, if you ask me (not in a bad way though - it was surely challenging
![]() Now, let's proceed with an easier one... What do Gwindor and Andróg have in common?
