How did I never notice this before? 1973
|
Can't Post
|
|
I remember vividly the day Tolkien died, so how did I never notice this? My daughter saw this on tumblr and sent it to me:
Tolkien died in 1973. Reverse it and you get 3791.
Three rings for the elven kings under the sky, seven for the dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine for mortal men doomed to die, and one for the dark lord on his dark throne.

"For DORA BAGGINS in memory of a LONG correspondence, with love from Bilbo; on a large wastebasket. Dora was Drogo's sister, and the eldest surviving female relative of Bilbo and Frodo; she was ninety-nine, and had written reams of good advice for more than half a century."

What are the mathematical chances of his death occurring in that year?

I think it would take an actuary to answer that question.

The odds were greater than 50% but I don't know how much greater
