It's time for another round of LOTR Trivia!
|
Can't Post
|
|
The rules are simple. I ask six questions from the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game. The questions are divided into six categories: Things, Evil Characters, Good Characters, Places & History, Warfare, and Making Movies. I will post the answers for the questions on Friday for you to score yourselves. Until then, answer them, discuss them, joke about them, and feel free to award plenty of Invisible Extra Credit to those who deserve it.
For the record, the LOTR Trivial Pursuit game has some questions that are just too easy, some questions that are awkwardly phrased, and some questions that seem to be flat wrong. I am combining questions from a couple of different cards to get these sets and to try and weed out some of the odd ones. Also, I wouldn't put too much thought into worrying about whether or not the questions fit their categories.
And we have fancy new images for the categories, thanks to Magpie! Here are this week's questions:
What are the three ways to prepare potatoes that Sam tells Gollum about in Ithilien?
Which of the nine companions does Gandalf say Sauron fears the most?
How full is the moon the night Frodo and Sam catch Gollum?
What two-word greeting at Helm's Deep does Legolas give Aragorn, who was thought dead in a Warg attack?
Which Hobbit's blade beats back the first tentacle of the lake beast that snatches Frodo?
What actor was knocked unconcious on the Rivendell set when a wooden loom fell on him?

I met a Balrog on the stair.
He had some wings that weren't there.

I wish he would just fly away.

and I'm pretty sure I would have felt more confident 5 years ago. Oi... fading memories.
What are the three ways to prepare potatoes that Sam tells Gollum about in Ithilien?
Boil 'em, bake 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
Which of the nine companions does Gandalf say Sauron fears the most?
It has to be Aragorn?
How full is the moon the night Frodo and Sam catch Gollum?
hmm... I would say it was a full moon but then I'd have to answer 'fully full' which sounds weird and makes me think that's not the answer. One can't phrase a crescent moon in terms of 'fullness' but one can say 'half full'. So. "Half full"
I got a fair number of questions right on any test I took in school merely by psyching out how well the answers fit with the way the question was phrased.
What two-word greeting at Helm's Deep does Legolas give Aragorn, who was thought dead in a Warg attack?
doh... another Legolas question I should know. I think it's "You're late."
Which Hobbit's blade beats back the first tentacle of the lake beast that snatches Frodo?
Sam's?
What actor was knocked unconcious on the Rivendell set when a wooden loom fell on him?
I don't know if I knew this happened but Viggo seemed to have a lot of mishaps so: Viggo?

Which of the nine companions does Gandalf say Sauron fears the most?
Um, Sam?
How full is the moon the night Frodo and Sam catch Gollum?
Er, quarter?
What two-word greeting at Helm's Deep does Legolas give Aragorn, who was thought dead in a Warg attack?
"You're late." Can I get some IEC for knowing what he says next? Yes? Well, that would be "You look terrible"
Which Hobbit's blade beats back the first tentacle of the lake beast that snatches Frodo?
Uh, Sam?
What actor was knocked unconcious on the Rivendell set when a wooden loom fell on him?
(wow, really?) Er, Elijah Wood?
Hopefully, the IEC will get me to 50%

I hope I can redeem myself on this round!
*********
What are the three ways to prepare potatoes that Sam tells Gollum about in Ithilien?
"Boil 'em, mash 'em, cook 'em in a stew!"
Which of the nine companions does Gandalf say Sauron fears the most?
Oooo I should know this  . I guess... Aragorn?
How full is the moon the night Frodo and Sam catch Gollum?
Oh we are tricksy, aren't we?! Crescent moon, but I hope we don't have to specify waxing or waning too  .
What two-word greeting at Helm's Deep does Legolas give Aragorn, who was thought dead in a Warg attack?
Do I get partial credit for knowing the Westron translation rather than the Elvish version ? I know he says, "You're late ... you look terrible."
Which Hobbit's blade beats back the first tentacle of the lake beast that snatches Frodo?
I'm guessing this would be Sam, reacting first to protect Frodo.
What actor was knocked unconcious on the Rivendell set when a wooden loom fell on him?
You got me on this one! Looking forward to finding out who the poor fellow was !

1. Boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew.
2. Aragorn.
3. Barely a sliver?
4.You're late! (Arguable three, with a contraction implying two words... but that's just me being contrary!  Bad me!!  *Slaps hand*)
5. Merry.
6.Hugo Weaving (Har har! It seemed an approprate guess!  )
Call me Rem, and remember, not all who ramble are lost...Uh...where was I?

Happy Friday, everyone! Here are the answers to this week's trivia questions. How did you all do?
What are the three ways to prepare potatoes that Sam tells Gollum about in Ithilien? Boil them, mash them or put them in a stew We all remember the song, right? No? Here you go. Which of the nine companions does Gandalf say Sauron fears the most? Aragorn How full is the moon the night Frodo and Sam catch Gollum? One quarter And here's a handy link from the Frame Cap Library to see: Click me. What two-word greeting at Helm's Deep does Legolas give Aragorn, who was thought dead in a Warg attack? "You're late" Of course, Le abdollen (or any spelling thereof) should also be accepted. The game is geared toward the casual watcher and I'm okay with that! Which Hobbit's blade beats back the first tentacle of the lake beast that snatches Frodo? Sam's What actor was knocked unconscious on the Rivendell set when a wooden loom fell on him? Sean Astin This was one of those questions that I had no memory of myself. Google seems to confirm that it was mentioned in the extras somewhere, but I hope you'll all forgive me for such a hard question!

Not bad. Or should it be five and a half, even? I mean, I did guess the actor's first name correctly.

1) Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!
2) Aragorn
3) Crescent?
4) Le abdollen (Something like that, it was subtitled "You look terrible")
5) Sam
6) Viggo Mortensen
Well I got the Elvish part of #3 but not the English! Lol! I'll give myself half a point for that, and I was technically correct when I said crescent, so I'll give myself half there also lol
4/6
