Good one! I have to admit I keeled over in laughter because I was thinking of a quote in the movie "Spaceballs."

New question:
crap I haven't got my novels here, so one easy of the top of my mind.

Which dwarf entered last, then first?

ofcourse it's from the hobbit.

Boaz · 15th February 2006, 05:58 PM

Last into Bilbo's hole was either Thorin or Bombur... Bombur fell on Thorin, so if Bombur backed up then he was probably the last to enter.

The first dwarf to enter Beorn's house was Thorin.

The first dwarf to enter the nasty stream in Mirkwood was Bombur.

The first dwarf to enter Erebor was Thorin.

scalem X · 16th February 2006, 03:41 PM

okay boaz I was asking for thorin.
"tag" you're it.

Boaz · 16th February 2006, 07:47 PM

Okay... here's another convoluted genealogical question:

Who was Eldarion's maternal grandmother's maternal grandfather's half-brother?

Hint: You must have a knowledge of The Silmarillion and the appencices of ROTK in order to answer this. Eldarion and his maternal grandmother are in the appendices. His mother, her mother's mother, her mother's maternal grandfather, and the final male in the question are all found in The Silmarillion.

Or if you wanna cheat, you can check online with The Encyclopdia of Arda or check JEA Tyler's Tolkien Companion.

scalem X · 16th February 2006, 07:51 PM

barry the silent dwarf lolz.

(I don't think it could be himself this time, 6 generations are a bit much)

Marky Lazer · 17th February 2006, 12:29 PM

If maternal means what I think it means, then I guess it's Fingolfin?

Boaz · 17th February 2006, 04:57 PM

Half-brother, not full brother.

Marky Lazer · 18th February 2006, 02:35 PM

Feanor, then?

I'm getting confused. Kelpie outlaw these questions

HieroGlyph · 18th February 2006, 04:12 PM

Half-brother of a First Born?
I might have stepped back too far, but I'll guess at Elwe.

Well gosh, if I did that, I'd have to start with this one, and a certain person who recently answered it correctly would lose his turn.

(I admit they are rather mind-bending. They're giving my senile old brain a workout.)

Boaz · 18th February 2006, 10:46 PM

HG, the person I'm looking for is one generation younger than Elwe and he is of the Noldor, not Teleri.

I'll take you half the way there... Eldarion is Aragorn's and Arwen's son... so his maternal grandmother was Celebrian, the daughter of Celeborn and Galadriel... Now all you need to know is Galadriel's father and his half-brother!

According to my sources the first would be Finarfin and the second Fëanor -- as Marky guessed.

Did you have someone else in mind, Boaz?

Boaz · 19th February 2006, 01:39 AM

Kelpie, No nothing else in mind. Feanor is the answer I was looking for. Thanks for pointing out my blunder. I don't know if it's Alzheimers or arrogance... sheesh.

I apologize, I could have sworn Marky posted Fingolfin... but since there is no edit on his post, I am in the wrong. Sorry Marky! You are up...

(When I make mistakes like that... It's a wonder I can even walk and chew gum at the same time!)
