I remember recieving an email from someone not long after I first posted the quiz asking me for the answers. He explained he was setting up a quiz to determine who was the geekiest out of two of his friends and had decided my quiz was an ideal way of deciding. As I did not recognise his name at the time, I made him wait for the answers, but it seems we have come full circle now.One excellent fellow through out the quizz which he had found here.

Yay! A new quiz! Thanks Val! Printing it now. I only have my copy of the Sil here now, and I won't get my other copies back until 6th of January, so I'll have to be a bit more patient with this one.
Val, question here, is it possible that you made a mistake in #27? 
Tommie,
Val did not make a mistake on # 27. Check your private postBodys. I told you where to find it.

You were right, Mellie, thanks for the tip! Sorry Val, got a bit confused, but Mellie sorted it out for me. 
Only have to find #7 now. Know where to find it, just need my copy and I don't have it here, so I'll have to wait another week to send my answers in.

Val, you do realize that you put one of the answers to your quiz in another thread, don't you? As matther of fact it was place 10 days after the quiz was put out. The funny thing is, I just saw it. lol

Mellie
Thanks for confirmig my answer was correct.
Mellie
Hey Mellie, don't let him know that, he might hold back some of his neatly researched knowledge, and then we'd never learn such things as the story about someone's family heirloom that was pieced together from snippetts found in the multiple volumes of Tolkien's work. 
Grondy, you are the one that gave him the clue which question was answered. I was afraid that I we said that he might delete the tread or something. I mean it is going to be hard for people to go through over evevty eleven posts and find it. lol
I was aware of it actually Mellie. I wrote the question a good while before writing the actual thread, but the question reminded me that the subject was something I had wanted to bring up for a while.
Just shows what a wealth of information we are compiling here. I received your answers by the way, Mellie, but I haven't had time to go through them yet.

oh, btw I had to delete Question #2 because a duplicate of one of Val's. So, mine only has 74 instead of 75.

Can someone please tell me how this quizing thing works?
If you go back to the very first post in this Thread, Namo, it will give you instructions (but rather than sending your answers to me this time, send them to Mellie instead).
Basically don't answer the questions here, like in Grondy's general knowledge questions, but write them in a document and either email or private postBody them to Mellie. I usually give a month for a set of questions to be answered, but as Mellie has forgotten to tell us when she wants them in by, we'll have to wait to find out.

Nice quiz so far Mellie. I finished all but four of the questions last night, but will probably take a while locating the answers to those four as I'm away a bit in the coming week. Number 21's got me stumped, though. I cannot find a reference to it anywhere.

Good, nice to know the shoe is on the other foot now. Number 21's got me stumped, though. I cannot find a reference to it anywhere.
I found that answer in thirty seconds and Rednell might even locate it in less. Actually, thanks to that new book that I purchased yesterday, Grondmaster, I found the answer in less than 10 seconds.
I wish I had this book when I attempted Val's quiz.

All's I've got to do is find out what book Rednell bought yesterday and I'll be okay then. I can find a lot of references for Snowbourn but nothing for Snowthorn. I was hoping it was perhaps a typo but if Nell and Grondy have already found it, I'd better keep looking. Actually, thanks to that new book that I purchased yesterday, Grondmaster, I found the answer in less than 10 seconds
Well, my latest purchase is The Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad. Ohhhhh, and I love it sooo. 
But I also found the same answer in UT, which I also love. Especially since it is a gift from a very special friend.

Oops, I haven't done the quiz yet and have messed up royaly: When I went to see what question #21 was, my eyes glombed on to #22 instead, so at the present time I am also worried about Snowthorn being a typo.
Sorry Val, you don't have to look so hard now. :elfembar:
Mellie, we need a confirmation that #21 is spelled correctly. Please.

Nell, found it in the same book I did. Sorry, Val, Snowthorn is not a typo.

Originally, I made the same mistake as Grondy in mistaking #22 for #21. 
However, I did find snowthorn in UT.

So much that I missed!!! Yay! I actually outscored Nell on the last quiz! 
Congrats to everyone, and esp. to Remi! (hi there btw)
Gonna try my hand at Mellie's now. I have some time on my hands, so...
Wow another quiz! I am printing it right now...
Ok, there is a typo in my Quiz. You need to thank remi for pointing it out to me. Thanks, remi I do appreciate it.
The typo is in #34 it is suppose to be Îbal not Îbel. Sorry folks. I wish I could say that I did not make mistakes, but I am not perfect. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
