Thank you all for entering. I hope you enjoyed it but the competition is now closed. No more entries will be accepted.
We had around 40 entries, so overall I think it was very successful. There were several people who got all ten correct, but there can be only one winner I'm afraid.
Quiz Answers
- The drawing is a representation of Amon Sul (or Weathertop) before it was destroyed. And thanks to all those that said "cool drawing!"
- Merry had 0 Might Points
- There are 13 individual poses, but 14 would be accepted as well since the Invisible Frodo model is a duplicate of the Osgiliath one, yet was released separately:
- Fellowship boxed set
- Fog on the Barrow Downs boxed set
- Attack at Weathertop boxed set
- Arwen and Frodo mounted blister
- Mines of Moria game set (plastic)
- Breaking of the Fellowship boxed set
- Emyn Muil blister
- Captured by Gondor boxed set
- Fell Beast boxed set (Osgiliath)
- Shelob's Lair boxed set
- In Orc armour blister
- At Mt Doom blister
- Scouring of the Shire boxed set
- Invisible Frodo
(I've decided to start an army of Frodos)
- Any three of "The Bridge Inn", "The Ivy Bush", "The Green Dragon", "The Golden Perch", and "The Floating Log"
Note: "The Prancing Pony" was actually in Bree, which lies outside of the Shire.
- Glorfindel of Imladris made the prophesy.
- Rick Priestley designed the original ruleset (and it was playtested by the Perry Twins too). Alessio joined the team later.
- Silverscott (Gordon Bain) was the founding member and original Admin of the site (bless him!), way back in 2002-2003 (before TLA even).
- Gandalf was deemed to be the greatest of the Istari by Cirdan, and to help him in his travels, he gave him Narya the ring of fire (and wasn't Saruman annoyed!)
- Fatty Bolger and his band of merry hobbits hid in the Brokenbores (which means "badger tunnels") - a series of caves in the hills above Scary. We also accepted the alternate spelling Brockenborings.
- Shelob's Lair is known as Torech Ungol - which translates to Spider's Hole or Spider's Lair. But the wording of the question was a little confusing (since I mentioned a "pass") and so Cirith Ungol (The Pass of the Spider) was also accepted.
My favourite answer to question 9 (where did Fatty hide) was "Dunno, in the Cadbury Factory?" - bonus points for that one Glenn!
