Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. An easy one. What is 144 referred to as by hobbits?

Answer: One gross.

Bilbo stated this in his birthday speech. A remarkable total, it was the combined age of Bilbo and Frodo and the number of guests Bilbo invited to his special dinner. Of course it is not polite to apply this term to people.
2. Why should you "go not to the elves for counsel"?

Answer: For they will answer both no and yes.

Frodo said this during his conversation with Gildor, after Gildor had said 'do not meddle in the affairs of wizards'. This is at the end of the chapter 'Three is Company'.
3. Elfstone is what kind of gem?

Answer: beryl

Strider found one on the last bridge (Bridge of Mitheithel), "a single pale-green jewel" and took it as a sign that it was safe to cross. It had been left a week earlier by Glorfindel.
4. In the Old Forest, Merry and Pippin were caught by Old Man Willow. What foul thing happened to Frodo?

Answer: He was thrown into the water and held under by a root.

Sleep was overcoming all the hobbits and Frodo had gone to bathe his feet in the river. Sam, wonderful hobbit that he is, had gone to look for the ponies and came back on time to rescue his master.
5. Who does Goldberry tell Frodo that Tom is?

Answer: Master of wood, water, and hill.

But none of the land belonged to him. Goldberry finished explaining with "Tom Bombadil is Master".
6. After being caught by the Barrow-wights, what did Tom tell the four hobbits to do?

Answer: run naked on the grass.

The Barrow-wights had clothed the hobbits in thin white rags, crowns and trinkets. Tom had to go and get the horses and bring them new clothes. I sure do wish they had put that scene in the movie.
7. How many post scripts were on the letter from Gandalf that Barliman gave to Frodo?

Answer: 3

"PPPS I hope Butterbur sends this promptly." It was dated "Midyear's Day, Shire Year, 1418". Frodo got the letter on the 29th of September...
8. What was Frodo's reply when Barliman asked "What may you be wanting?" on their arrival at The Prancing Pony?

Answer: Beds for four and stabling for five ponies.

They missed out on ponies in the movie and while Gandalf was supposed to meet them at the inn in the movie, in the book he was supposed to leave with them from Hobbiton.
9. What name did Sam give to the 'crickets' in the Midgewater Marshes?

Answer: neekerbreekers.

Sam called them this because of the neek-breek sound they made. This was during the first couple of days in the marshes.
10. Frodo said of Sam, "First he was a conspirator, now he's a jester. He'll end up by becoming a ...."

Answer: wizard or a warrior.

Frodo said this after they reached Bilbo's trolls and Sam recited a witty poem. Sam then answered "I hope not. I don't want to be neither!".
