15 Points Per Correct Answer - No time limit  

1. At the beginning of book four of the trilogy (part two of 'The Two Towers', for those keeping score) Frodo and Sam are making their way over a certain mountain range on their way to Mordor. What is the name of this treacherous, bald mountain range? Emyn Muil Hithaeglir Ered Nimrais Iron Hills

2. After Sam and Frodo capture Gollum, who has been stalking them since they descended into Moria, they agree to spare his life. However they place a condition on Gollum, he must lead them on the road to Mordor. Gollum strenuously objects to their plan, but agrees grudgingly since he has no other choice. To which of these does Gollum also desperately object? Being tied up by neck or foot Leading them along without the moon or sun in the sky Finding food and water for the hobbits Acknowledging Frodo as his 'master'

3. Sam and Frodo, led by their new-found 'tour guide' Gollum, trudge slowly through the festering and noisome Dead Marshes with Mordor all the while on the horizon. Nearly having emerged from the fulsome swamp, the hobbits take a rest while Gollum carries on a conversation with himself. While Sam feigns sleep, what word does he hear from Gollum that is most troubling? She Precious Murder Fish

4. Gollum leads the two hobbits to the 'Black Gate' of Mordor, just at the point where the two great mountain ranges, the Ered Lithui from the west and the Ephel Duath from the south, come in conjunction. This great gate is guarded by Orcs and is apparently not accessible to our little friends, nor are the surrounding cliffs surmountable by any means. What is the name of the great gate that brings the hobbits to an impasse? Henneth Annun Durthang Morannon Cirith Ungol

5. Bypassing the gates, the two hobbits decide to follow Gollum, who has suggested an alternate path into Mordor. On the way along this different road, the hobbits become hungry and Sam requests that Gollum catch a couple of rabbits, or coneys as he calls them. Gollum returns soon after with two little rabbits, much to Sam's delight. Sam is also able to find some herbs with which he can cook the rabbit, but which other item does he wish for, to complete a wonderful stew? Tomatoes Potatoes Bread Mushrooms

6. Soon after finishing their meal, Sam and Frodo are discovered by a small troop of men led by Faramir, brother of Boromir. After a quick exchange, where it is revealed to the two parties their link, Faramir is off to battle. Left with the two hobbits for protection are a couple of Faramir's soldiers, Mablung and Damrod. Together, they witness the approach of an army of 'Southrons' (enemy men from the South), some of whom are aboard which animals, to Sam's delight? Oliphaunts Mastodonters Cameleopards Pegasusi

7. Once again the hobbits meet up with Faramir, freshly returned from battle against the Southrons. Faramir is curious about Frodo's quest and what he terms 'Isildur's Bane'. Eventually through surmising, and Sam's big mouth, he at last understands the truth of Frodo's quest. True or false: At this point, Faramir, like his brother Boromir, attempts to acquire the ring from Frodo. True False

8. After departing from the secret hideout of Faramir and his men, Gollum leads the hobbits anew along the path south towards Minas Morgul and the secret entrance to Mordor. Just west of Minas Morgul the travellers reach a crossroads where their road meets the road west to Osgiliath. What interesting site do they encounter as this junction? An Elfstone A white tree A giant stone figure A ruined citadel

9. Deep in the direction of Cirith Ungol takes Gollum his hobbit followers, and unbeknownst to them, into a hideous trap. Gollum's path leads Sam and Frodo into a murky tunnel with an unbearable stench, ever leading downwards into the Earth. Whose lair have the hobbits unwittingly entered? The Witch King Shelob Gorbag Shagrat

10. Sam, believing Frodo to be dead after their nasty confrontation with the evil lurker in the tunnel, decides he must continue the quest to destroy the ring. He takes the ring from Frodo, along with Galadriel's phial and Sting. Sam has become a ringbearer...but does he ever try the ring on? Yes No
