The questions are supposed to be in a form that can be answered with yes or no, as stated in the second paragraph of the rules. I have edited your above post and adjusted the numbers to suit. What kind of a place is it?

Oooh!! Sorry, I forgot that. Ok. I'll rephrase it.

#7 Is it a place that was built? As opposed to a natural landmark.
#7 Well no, it is a is natural landmark.; however, there is an small functional structure on it. (Tough question to answer: the name belongs to the landmark.)
I'm out of questions!!!
#8 Is it Carrock, the island in the River Anduin?
#8 No, it is not the Carrock, the island in the River Anduin.
Suggestion: It helps to zero in on the spot. Use a few more questions to isolate it geographically , like is it south of some other place.

Yes Grondy, thanks for the hint. I was thinking up questions for that!!!
Is it west of the Misty Mountains or East?
(Sorry Floyd, Grondy removed the question number from this post for two reasons: It can't be answered with a yes or no, and more importantly,
See Question #5.)

Oi! Sorry about that! Won't happen again :$
#10 No, it isn't Carn Dum?
#11 No, it isn't anymore dangerous than any similar place; though one must still be careful.
( Floyd_n_milan, no problem. Keep on trying, you'll soon get the hang of it.)

Grondy tells me to be more specific. He/she lived in the First Age, according to my quick reference. He/she was born in Middle-earth.
#1 Is it human?
#2 I don't know, but are we allowed to ask if it is male? 
Yes you are allowed to ask that.
#3 Is it an elf?
#3 Is it an elf?
#1 I never really like the use of 'human,' it makes elves and hobbits and all that seem like aliens. No, they are not a Man.
#2 - Yes, he is male.
#3 - an elf, to be sure, he is.
#2 - Yes, he is male.
#3 - an elf, to be sure, he is.
#4 Had he been to sea?
#4 - He sure had, Grondy. Methinks you know who it is, considering what I have recently seen you post on some threads.
#5 Did he have knowledge of a secret door?#6 Is it Voronw’ of Gondolin, the Elf who sought a passage to Aman?
#5 - Yep, Gromdy, I noticed you posted on a thread you were reading that story in UT for the first time. He did.
#6 - The cat' outta the bag!!!! The beans are all over the floor!!!!!! You turn, Heorogar.

That's true, but I have also read about Tuor and Voronw’ in the Silmarillion at least three times.Gromdy, I noticed you posted on a thread you were reading that story in UT for the first time.
Heorogar's turn to start the next eye spy game.
Ok, I admit, with the help of Grond's magnificent questions it wasn't that difficult anymore. Next one is yours Grond!
