Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 42

Gimli still wins the contest, but the numbers are one higher on both cases. "Forty-two, Master Legolas! Alas my ax is notched, for the forty-second had an iron coller round his neck."

2. Merry and Pippin go unharmed from their incident with the Uruk-Hai, right?

Answer: No

Actually, Merry had gotten a cut from the orcs from when they knocked him out, I suppose. The book says that "he bore a brown scar for the end of his days."

Answer: Third

Eomer said this after Gimli had ... 'asked' him for his name. "Give me your name, horsemaster, and I will give you mine, and more besides."

4. In the movie, Eowyn first appears to Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn while Gandalf was still fixing Theoden up. In the book, where does she first appear to them?

Answer: Behind Theoden's chair

As the four wanderers come in, Eowyn is standing behind the King's chair, Theoden is in his chair (what a surprise) and Grima Wormtongue is sitting at the King's feet.

5. Hama dies on the way to Helm's Deep.

Answer: False

In the movie, he is killed by one of the wolves of Isengard. In the book, he is killed by Saruman's army at Helm's Deep.

6. OK, Faramir is one of my favorite characters, so I'll give you an easy one in honor of him. Faramir is what relation to Boromir?

Answer: Brother

Boromir and Faramir are both sons of Denethor, Steward of Gondor. I guess that makes them brothers.

7. According to Shagrat, how many poisons does Shelob have?

Answer: More than one

"'Garn!' said Shagrat, "She's got more than one poison.'"

8. In the book, when Frodo, Sam, and Gollum go into the Dead Marshes, Frodo falls behind. It says that water and ________ were dripping from his hands when Sam went back to him. What's missing?

Answer: slime

I don't know how the slime and water got onto his hands, but later Frodo says that he had already seen the dead people in the water. We're left to wonder if he had tripped as Sam had into the water, or, if he hadn't tripped, what did happen?

9. Which name did Sam call himself after forgetting about the rope in his pack?

Answer: Ninnyhammer

Sam pulled all his names for himself out of a vast amount of knowledge he had gotten from his Gaffer.

Answer: raven

It was after this that Wormtongue threw down the Palantir.
