Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. 'Gil-galad was an elven-king, Of him...' Sam sings this song on Weathertop. Can you supply the next line?

This is when there first appears to be more to Sam than the other hobbits have realised.

2. 'Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow...' What's the next line?

Why was Tom Bombadil left out of the film?

3. 'Home is behind, the world ahead...' What line from 'On the Hearth' is next?

All these lines feature in the song written by Bilbo, which Frodo, Sam and Pippin sing while leaving Hobbiton.

Answer: dwells

'There shall be counsels taken, stronger than Morgul spells...'

5. From the Ents' song. 'To Isengard! Though Isengard be ringed and barred with doors of...' The next word?

Answer: stone

They planned to split Isengard into splinters when they got there.

6. The Riders of Rohan sang this. 'We heard of the horns in the hills ringing, The swords shining in the South ...' Next word?

Answer: Kingdom

As they rode off to battle, following King Theoden.

7. Heard in Minas Tirith after the Fall of Sauron. 'Long live the halflings! Praise them with great ...!' Great what?

Answer: praise

All Sam's dreams had come true when the harpers sang about 'Frodo of the 9 fingers and the Ring of Doom.'

8. Gwaihir flew over Minas Anor singing, 'And the tree that was withered shall be ....' What comes next?

Answer: renewed

It was the White Tree of Numenor. Aragorn found a sapling and replanted it in Minas Tirith.

9. The dwarves sang this in Bilbo's hobbit hole. 'Far over the misty mountains cold, To dungeons deep and ...' What two words come next?

Answer: caverns old

'We must away, ere break of day, to seek the pale enchanted gold'

Answer: funny little things

"Roast them alive, or stew them in a pot? Fry them, boil them, or eat them hot?" Of course, the Eagles came and rescued the Dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf before the goblins could eat them.

Answer: frost

'Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be King.' A deeply moving poem written by Bilbo about Aragorn, son of Arathorn.

12. Sam Gamgee again: 'Though here at journey's end I lie, In darkness buried ...' Next word?

Answer: deep

Sam was in Mordor when he sang this beautiful song of despair and hope, while Frodo was imprisoned in the orc tower. Frodo, hearing Sam's voice, believed himself to be dreaming.

13. In the Houses of Healing the Herb Master recites this to Aragorn: 'When the black breath blows, And death's shadow grows, And all lights pass, Come ....' What is the missing word?

Answer: athelas

Also known as 'kingsfoil', Aragorn uses it to cure Faramir, Merry and Eowyn. Ioreth says that "if I were King I should have plants more jolly in my garden."

14. 'Tra-la-la Lally, Down in the valley!' Who sang this?

Answer: the elves of Rivendell

This is from The Hobbit. I can't quite imagine LotR's Elrond singing 'Tra-la-la lally'!

15. 'I sit beside the fire and think, Of how the world will be, When winter comes without a spring, That I shall never see.' Who sang this, and where?

Answer: Bilbo, in Rivendell, in old age.

Bilbo was extremely old by the time of the War of the Ring, with his life being unnaturally extended by posession of the One Ring. On its destruction, he began to feel his age, and eventually crossed the Sundering Seas at the age of one hundred and thirty three (finally beating the Old Took's record as the longest-living hobbit.)

16. 'Farewell we call, to hearth and hall, Though wind may blow, and rain may fall.' Who sings this early on in The Fellowship of the Ring?

Answer: Merry and Pippin

The song went on to say that they had much work to do if they were to leave early in the morning. 'Oh that was just poetry!' said Pippin, 'you don't really mean to start before the break of day?!'

17. In The Two Towers, who sings the East Wind's part of the Lament for Boromir?

Answer: none of these

Legolas sings the lament of the South Wind, Aragorn sings them for the North and West Winds. Nobody sings about the East Wind. 'In Minas Tirith they endure the East Wind, but they do not ask it for tidings.' Of course, Eastwards lies Mordor.

18. 'But stream and pool is wet and cool: so nice for feet!' Who sang this ditty?

Answer: Gollum

Gollum sings this when he is near the Dead Marshes. Please note that it is NOT the same song as in the movie, and is sung at a different place in the story.

19. 'If ever you'd met me, You wouldn't forget me. If you ever do, You won't think I'm true.' Who sings this?

Answer: Sam

He was singing about an Oliphaunt, an animal believed by most hobbits to be mythical. However, Sam is delighted to see a real live Oliphaunt in Ithilien.

Answer: Galadriel

Gandalf delivered the message to Aragorn after they met again in Fangorn. It was a sign that Aragorn could expect the help of the Dunedain in the War of the Ring, and that he must journey along the Paths of the Dead.
