Who was the Master of Buckland at the time when Gandalf came to the Shire and Bilbo's Party???
Who was the Master of Buckland at the time when Gandalf came to the Shire and Bilbo's Party???
Per Appendix B: Bilbos Tea Party was in TA 2949, which was 1349 SR.
Per Appendix D: Gorbadoc 'Broadbelt' lived from 1260-1363 SR and his father had died in 1310 SR
Thus Gorbadoc 'Broadbelt' was Master of Buckland at that time.
Of course if the "party" was meant to be his eleventy-first birthday party in (TA 3001 - 1600) = 1401 SR, then it would have been Rorimac 'Goldfather' (Old Rory) (1302-1408) as his father died in 1363 SR
Who were Arwen Evenstar's brothers

easy easy easy,
Eladan and Elrohir
(incidently, both these names hint at there mixed lineage, the start of both names is El short form of sindarin elf, the word adan means "man" and the word rohir comes from sindarin rochir "horselord", which you shouold recognise from rohirrim, so both names kinda mean elf-man)

oh and morambar, was your question RE the elf and the white tree ever answered
if not i would hazard a guess at Celeborn seeing as his name means "silver-tree" so a quenya cognate could be tyelep (quenya) + orne (tree)
therefore =
tyelep+orne ~ teleporno ~ telperion ???

No, Gorbadoc "Broadbelt" Brandybuck left his title to his son at the time of Bilbo's party and his name was Rorimac "Goldfather" Brandybuck and he was at Bilbo's Party and saw him dissapear, but no-one really did because of Gandalf's wizardry...... sorry to poop your parade Grondy

Which party Loss, the big tea party with Thorin's Company in 1341 SR, the little tea party with Gandalf and Balin in 1349 SR, or the big birthday party in 1418 SR? I did have the the right answer for the birthday party.
I have always assumed Roridoc (Rory) inherited the title in 1363 SR at the death of his father, Gorbadoc. I didn't know Gorbadoc abdicated in favor of his son; when did this occur and where is it documented?

Oh, I am sorry, I should have been more detailed with "Party", I meant his big bash of a Birthday when he dissapeared. When I thought of the question I read from my source wrong (as it was 1:30 in the morning) so you are indeed correct in both respects, as I have re-read over where I got it from 
Once again I've gone wrong!!!
Once again I've gone wrong!!!Don't sweat it Loss, we learn from our mistakes, especially me. 
Would that be Frodo in his frigid dream while sheltering in a 'house with only one wall and no roof'? (They were in the pass, huddling beside the wall of a cliff during a blizzard.)

Grondy didn't ask a question, and this cool thread seems to have died as a result. I'll take up the next question and see if we can't bring it back to life.

About how many known kills was Bilbo credited with, during his battles with the spiders in Mirkwood
About how many known kills was Bilbo credited with, during his battles with the spiders in Mirkwood
It's hard to say exactly... but I counted the first 2 that he nailed with stones, the 1 big fat one guarding the dwarves, and "about half a dozen" when he rescued Bombur. Then there's the main battle ("Then the battle began. Some of the dwarves had knives...") The book mentions that many spiders were killed, but doesn't specifically credit Bilbo with any further kills from this point on. Later (during the escape) it mentions that he wounds quite a few of them, but they wouldn't come close because of Sting.
So I guess the answer is "at least 9" that we can specifically count. Sounds good?

I'll say 10, to be awkward 
I counted a confirmed ten when I was making the question: the nine Meneldur noted, plus Bilbo's earlier first kill when the spider was trying to wrap him up as he awoke. That first one he killed with his sword, which he then named "Sting". After this he found he had courage and wasn't afraid when it came to saving the Dwarves from the spiders.
Loss gets the honor of posing the next question.

Haha! Twas purely a guess. Sorry Meneldur, it seems being awkward can work sometimes...
Who was Aragorn's Mother's Mother?
Who was Aragorn's Mother's Mother?
I had to hunt, but found it at the beginning of Section V to Appendix A of RotK, where it says Ivorwen was the wife of Dirhael, father of Gilraen the Fair. Dirhael thought his daughter was too young, but Ivorwen was in favor of the marriage between Gilraen and Aragorn's father Arathorn, as he would probably be short lived and ought to have an heir.

How many ropes were needed for the Fellowships' crossing of the swift and deep running Celebrant
Three. One to walk on, and two (one high, one low) to steady themselves with their hands as they crossed.
u didn't pose a question
Maybe Meneldur was like me and forgot, or else maybe he wasn't positive that his answer was the correct one. Anyway he was correct and may post the next question. If he doesn't in another day or two, anyone may do it.
Oops, sorry guys.
What did Merry think the "standing stones" at Dunharrow looked like?
What did Merry think the "standing stones" at Dunharrow looked like?
He thought in retrospect, that they the Pukel Men, looked like the modern Wild Men as embodied in Ghân buri-Ghân. Or was it "teeth" you were after?
Yes I was looking for the teeth, but you got "extra-credit", I forgot that the Pukel-men were referred to as "standing stones" as well.

Up it horses could walk, and wains could be slowly hauled; but no enemy

each turn of the road there were great standing stones that had been carved in
the likeness of men, huge and clumsy-limbed, squatting cross-legged with their
stumpy arms folded on fat bellies.

Dividing the upland into two there marched a double line of unshaped standing

to follow that road came soon to the black Dimholt under Dwimorberg, and the
menace of the pillar of stone, and the yawning shadow of the forbidden door.

Merry stared at the lines of marching stones: they were worn and black;
some were leaning, some were fallen, some cracked or broken; they looked like
rows of old and hungry teeth.
