Trivia for Two Towers - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 01-23-2002, 01:04 PM

I need five really freakin hard questions for trivia on the first half of the two towers, and I need it by Friday, so if you can think of some super stumpers, write em' down.

Voronwe · 01-23-2002, 04:07 PM

Here are two I just made up:

"What is the name of Theoden's sword?"

"What mountain did Treebeard's house lie at the base of?"

Are these hard enough? Or would you like something worse?

Alternatively you might want to try the Quiz forum, which will have many questions (and answers) about the Two Towers.

I've got some:

How many ent-strides did Pippin count before he lost track when they were going to the Derndingle? (three thousand)

What day was it when Gimli Aragorn and Legolas first met Gandalf the White? and whose birthday was it? (March 1, Aragorn's 88th)

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 01-23-2002, 04:15 PM

something worse would be better, and write the answers too, I need these for school.

Fenrir · 01-23-2002, 04:19 PM

Lindolirian · 01-23-2002, 04:31 PM

I ahte to tell you but only two of those questions have definite answers and Keeper of Dul Guldur asked for questions from the FIRST HALF of the TWO TOWERS [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 01-23-2002, 04:32 PM

These are all good, but I need them from the first half of the two towers

Lindolirian · 01-23-2002, 04:38 PM

How many leagues is it from Parth Galen to where Eomer met Aragorn Gimli and Legolas? (forty and five leagues)

What was the name of the Rider who spoke against Gimli ridin their horse? (Eothain)

Where was Shadowfax when Gandalf whistled for him? (Rivendell)

What food did Aragorn Legolas Gimli and the hobbits eat at Isengard? (Wine, beer, pork, bacon, bread with honey and butter)

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 01-23-2002, 04:48 PM

Allright, anymore, and what is the answer to the name of Theoden's sword?

Voronwe · 01-23-2002, 05:32 PM

The name of Theoden's sword was Herugrim.

Here's another rather hard one:

"About what year did Tobold Hornblower first grow pipeweed?" (answer: 1070 Shire Reckoning)

Look it up! I get the feeling that the reason you were given the assignment was so that you would have to read TT in depth and stretch your brain.

Lindolirian I know he was talking about the two towers it was meant in jest the point is that those are much argued topics. One last thing, I am not here to debate this, but which of those have definite answers?

Keeper of Dol Guldur · 01-23-2002, 06:56 PM

Yeah, but I forgot my copy, and I need stuff that only a wizards eye can detect, if you take my meaning.

Lindolirian · 01-23-2002, 07:29 PM

Your questions with definite answers are that Eowyn killed the With-king with ablow to the head and sam was 35 on december 25, 3018 T.A.

Lindolirian · 01-24-2002, 07:59 PM

What was Boromir's last word? (failed)

"Farewell Aragorn! Go to Minas Tirth and save my people. I have failed." then he smiled but thats not really talkin..

Marileangorifurnimaluim · 01-24-2002, 09:03 PM

Ah but whether Merry or Eowyn killed the Witch King is a debated point - ! There are those who feel Eowyn got the credit but the real killing blow was Merry's, due to the spells on his barrow-blade, as only magic could effect the Witch King of Angmar.

Only Sam's age can be answered.
