(Glorfinel: I think hot, warmer, cooler, or cold can be used to keep us from going off on a dead-ended tangent. It shouldn't be necessary once everyone has learned the strategy of winning.)
Question/guess number 13
Is it even the name of a geographical place?
(See Gang, we have to use our questions to narrow down the range of answers, because we only have twenty questions and if the answer is found in The Silmarillion, there are five pages of "A" words in its index. Once we get the range narrowed down to a specific group of suspects then we can start guessing, else we will run out of guesses before we can figure out which section of the haystack the needle resides, unless someone has a very lucky guess. By narrowing the range of possible answers one can almost always find the answer in twenty questions.)
(This is the game where that famous question, "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" originated. And then there are also the animal? vegetable? or mineral? questions to narrow the field yet further.) Glorfinel: That question about the breadbox was rhetorical, as are these last three they are not a yet a questions in this particular game.)

Oy Glorfinel I have given an answer and you've not said if it is right or wrong and by your warm and cold I'm thinking its right!
#16 Is it Angrist as this was a knife named by the dwarves and started in the middle and went to the north of middle earth?
Whoa!!!! And out of no where comes the answer!!! Check out Ross with the Big Guessing Brain!!!
Yes!!! It is indeed Angrist, the Knife made by the dwarf Telchar of Nogrod. It was given to Curufin but taken by Beren and he used it to cut a Silmaril out of the Crown of Morgoth. While made by a dwarf, it's name is Sindarin and means 'Iron cutting'.
Way to go Ross!!! Good job everyone!
Well, Ross, you guessed it, so now it's you turn to be the Eye that spied! Lay it on us!
