Questions leading to anwsers - Page 3 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Finwe · 02-18-2004, 09:14 PM

I'll give you a hint:

HINT: He was left-handed.

Fingolfin II · 03-05-2004, 04:32 AM

Maedhros?

Fingolfin II · 03-05-2004, 07:47 PM

Oops! I broke the rules, sorry guys, forgot to read them stupid me. *Hits self over head*.

The Perky Ent · 03-25-2004, 07:58 PM

The days have gone donw in the west. I'm reviving this thread. Please read the rules before you post! There will be 5 Questions!

Question 1

I thought i would be the first, but i was hit with a sad blow when i heard the truth. Who am i?

Firefoot · 03-25-2004, 08:09 PM

Fëanor?

The Perky Ent · 03-25-2004, 08:19 PM

But of course!

Firefoot I

Question 2

My brother's were in the power of kings, yet my brother's left them for others. Who (what) am I?

(what) is foreshadowing!

Fingolfin II · 04-02-2004, 05:13 AM

The Easterlings?

Fingolfin II · 04-04-2004, 10:51 PM

Hey Perky, any confirmation? I think I'm probably wrong because of the second clue [(what) is foreshadowing!], but it'd be nice too know

.

Fingolfin II · 06-25-2004, 06:30 PM

I'll be asking 5 questions, of different types (i.e. riddles, straight questions, etc.). Anyone can answer the first four questions, but only those with points can answer the last one. The one who answers the last question correctly gets to set the next set of questions if they can correctly guess the theme.

I've been babbling for long enough; here's the first question-

1. Please tell me who is an Elven lore reteller of nice demeanour.

Gil-Galad · 06-28-2004, 01:12 PM

Elrond?

NightKnight · 06-28-2004, 04:45 PM

Rumil the Loremaster?

Fingolfin II · 06-28-2004, 10:47 PM

Gil-galad- 1

The first letter in each word of that sentence spelt 'Elrond'

.

2. Less loved than the Faithful Jewel; read into the minds of Men yet did not scorn them as fools.

NightKnight · 06-29-2004, 05:26 AM

Faramir?

Fingolfin II · 06-29-2004, 06:54 PM

Gil-galad- 1
NightKnight- 1

3.

He was the most reluctant to leave,
To no home would he cleave.
Through water and fire
He befriended the halflings of the Shire.
Seemingly the weakest,
He united all the meekest,
And was the last to come,
Sent by the mightiest under the One.

Gil-Galad · 06-29-2004, 06:58 PM

good ol' Gandalf?

Fingolfin II · 06-29-2004, 10:30 PM

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 1

4. A cat, a rabbit, an aardvark, an iguana, falcon, beaver, a Thorondor.

The order of these is correct, yet they should be taller. Arrange these properly, and use the letters to find the name of a famous traveller.

Good luck

.

Gil-Galad · 06-30-2004, 07:48 AM

A cat, a rabbit, an aardvark, an iguana, falcon, beaver, a Thorondor.

charagoth? that wolf who ate the silmaril? can't spell sorry

Fingolfin II · 06-30-2004, 11:58 PM

Nope- arrange them in a suitable order, and see what's spelt. The animals have no relation to each other, it's the letters.

Fingolfin II · 07-05-2004, 03:58 AM

No one? I'll give you a major hint, just look below:

Just arrange the hints in an appropriate manner and solve!

Gil-Galad · 07-05-2004, 09:28 AM

Odorf? i mean Frodo...heh

Fingolfin II · 07-05-2004, 05:02 PM

No, no, no; that was just a hint of how to arrange the clues. I put Frodo in there as an example- that find-a-word isn't the one which the answer is hidden in. The clues (i.e. an aardvark, etc.) form the find-a-word, and then you have to find this famous traveller. Please show me how you got the answer also when you get it

Fingolfin II · 07-06-2004, 07:22 PM

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 1
wilwarin538- 1

Last question- only those with points may answer!

5. He gave up the 'prize' willingly, but not without persuasion.

wilwarin538 · 07-07-2004, 09:47 AM

I dont know about you guys but I could use a hint.

Gil-Galad · 07-07-2004, 02:34 PM

Thingol gave Beren the hand of Luthien only if he could have a Silmaril?

NightKnight · 07-08-2004, 10:41 AM

Bilbo gave Frodo the "prize" of the riddle contest, the Ring, but only after Gandalf persuaded him.

Fingolfin II · 07-08-2004, 07:46 PM

Gil-galad- 2
NightKnight- 2
wilwarin538- 1

Now, NightKnight, can you tell me the common thread between these characters?

NightKnight · 07-14-2004, 07:01 AM

Hmm... Elrond, Faramir, Gandalf, Aragorn and Bilbo. They all withstood the temptation of the Ring/let it go?

Fingolfin II · 07-15-2004, 11:42 PM

Well I'm back from camp now, and while I was thinking that they were all loremasters, your answer is certainly correct so you're up.

NightKnight · 07-16-2004, 04:44 AM

Here we go: 5 questions, only those with points can answer the last one.

1. I kept the oath, and slew the wolf.

Fingolfin II · 07-16-2004, 06:06 AM

Finrod Felagund?

NightKnight · 07-16-2004, 11:15 AM

Yep.

Fingolfin - 1

2. The unaided Hornblower

Firefoot · 07-16-2004, 11:18 AM

Tobias Hornblower, the Hobbit who found pipeweed.

NightKnight · 07-16-2004, 11:20 AM

Nope.

Fingolfin II · 07-16-2004, 08:36 PM

Ted Sandyman?

The Perky Ent · 07-16-2004, 09:06 PM

Boromir? He blew the Horn of Gondor, and no one helped him when he defended Merry and Pippin?

NightKnight · 07-17-2004, 04:05 AM

Perfect, Perks.

Fingolfin - 1
Perks - 1

3. Add -ng to get happyness, sorrow or love.

Urwen · 04-07-2010, 07:54 AM

My guess:
happiness,sorrow,love=feeling=feeli+ng
feeli=Fili

And my answer is Fili.
