Well, even though Bugyfeanor gave a more complete answer, I will go with Arcormacolind’va's as it was made earlier. Arco gets the Pseudo-Silmarill. 
What kind of a creature was called 'thoron' in Sindarin
What kind of a creature was called 'thoron' in Sindarin
An Eagle (that's how Thorondor is named; Thoron-taur mutated into Thorondor, Lord of the Eagles)
Gee what took you so long to figure that one out Arcor? Six long minutes?? 
Arco gets the pretty bauble.
Which of Faramir's Rangers asked for permission to shoot Gollum
Which of Faramir's Rangers asked for permission to shoot Gollum
Oh Perwing,I've spent the last half and hour trying to figure it out,and I think you're right....
Yes and Perwing gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What deed of Melkor's was held to be the most hateful to Il’vatar
What deed of Melkor's was held to be the most hateful to Il’vatar
*hiding from Grondy's wrath, knowing the answer comes too quickly*
The breeding of the hideous race of the Orcs. Though my own opinion is quite different: the marring of Feanor comes first for me!
Namarie!

Bugyfeanor has the answer and the pseudo-Silmaril, but doesn't get any of my wrath as he didn't answer the last one.
I was going to remind our Americas contingent to leave one unanswered once in a while to allow the those East of the Atlantic a shot at a question due to the time zone problem; however, I just noticed the reminder isn't neccesary. Lately we have been getting answers from that side of the pond too. Good Show!
Can you name two rivers that flowed through Fangorn

I noticed the new post after 6 minutes
Anyway, since I can only think of one of the rivers off the top of my head, I'll let someone else take it.
Those would be the Limlight and the Entwash.

Bugyfeanor gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

What were Illuin and Ormal
The two great lamps of the Valar, situated in the Northern and Southern extremities of the Hither Lands.
Peredhil gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
Which hobbit-clan had a reputation for adventurousness even before Bilbo's adventures
Which hobbit-clan had a reputation for adventurousness even before Bilbo's adventures
Perwing has got that one right and another Pseudo-Silmaril.
What did Bilbo actually mean to say when he squealed 'Time! Time!'
What did Bilbo actually mean to say when he squealed 'Time! Time!'
Bilbo meant to say "I need more time to solve this riddle!" or something like that, but got so stressed that the only thing that came out was "Time! Time!". That happend to be the answer to Gollums riddle and Gollum thought he was answering.. Sssneaky little hobbit.

Okay, Amari’ gets the shiny bauble because she begged for it so nicely, but even more so because she had the correct answer.
How many dogs did Frodo and his companions encounter at Farmer Maggot's farm, and what were their names
How many dogs did Frodo and his companions encounter at Farmer Maggot's farm, and what were their names
I think their names where Fang,Grip and Wolf and there where only three. 
Yes there were three: 
Fang, Grip, and 
Wolf. LadyFeawen gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What happened in The Shire when the river Brandywine froze over in the Fell Winter
Fang, Grip, and Wolf. LadyFeawen gets the Pseudo-Silmaril. What happened in The Shire when the river Brandywine froze over in the Fell Winter
Um, wargs (or wolves) crossed the river and Gandalf came to the Shirefolks' aid?
White Wolves crossed over into the Shire to be exact.
Well LadyFeawen at the full answer, but Arcormacolind’va was first with the wolves crossing over, even though I think Gandalf and the Rangers were busy elsewhere and thus couldn't come to the Shire folks' rescue. Anyway, Arcormacolind’va gets the Pseudo-Silmaril unless he wants to share it with LadyFea.
To whom did Bilbo ask, 'Well, are you alive or are you dead'
To whom did Bilbo ask, 'Well, are you alive or are you dead'
I'll say Annatar (Sauron).
Perwing gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
Who told Ar-Pharaz’n that Melkor was 'Lord of All' and 'Giver of Freedom'
Who told Ar-Pharaz’n that Melkor was 'Lord of All' and 'Giver of Freedom'
Right as reign Peredhil, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Which Dwarf carried Bilbo on his back as they escaped from the goblins in the Misty Mountains
Which Dwarf carried Bilbo on his back as they escaped from the goblins in the Misty Mountains
My guess is with Dori, but I'm not sure here. Mere guess really.
Kili? (Also just a mere guess)
Yes Tommie, it was Dori, so you get the pretty bauble.
What were the three Dwarf-realms mentioned in Elven history, and under what mountain ranges had they been delved
What were the three Dwarf-realms mentioned in Elven history, and under what mountain ranges had they been delved
Hadhodrond: Hithaeglir
Belegost and Nogrod: Ered Luin
Erebor: under the Lonely Mountain
Belegost and Nogrod: Ered Luin
Erebor: under the Lonely Mountain
Correct Arcormacolind’va. Your first is Khazad-d’m (Moria) under the Misty Mountains. Belegost and Nogrod under Ered Luin are the other two.
I'm not sure whether Erebor counts as being in the Elven history, as it isn't mentioned in the Silmarillion; however, were the Elves, rather than Hobbits and Men writing the history at the end of the third age, Erebor would have been included for an honorable mention as well as Dain's holdings in the Iron Hills. Still, neither of these was as magnificent as were the former three at the height of their glory. You get the Pseudo-Silmarill.
Name the large expanse of water in Southern Mordor

The Sea of Nurnen? Something like that.
Yup, the Sea of N’rnen, Peredhil gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who slew the great boar of Everholt but died in the process
Who slew the great boar of Everholt but died in the process
Folca, a Rohirric hunter.
Yep, more importantly he was the 13th King of the Rohirrim. Peredhil gets another pretty bauble.
What was the last Kingdom of the Noldor to fall to Morgoth's legions
What was the last Kingdom of the Noldor to fall to Morgoth's legions
The Elven kingdom of Gondolin (as seen in Of Tuor And His Coming To Gondolin), a.k.a Ondolind’, The Hidden City, The Hidden Rock, The Hidden Kingdom, The Hidden Realm, Gondolind, Gondolinn, The Rock of the Music of Water, etc.
I think they were some Underhills from Staddle.
Arcormacolind’va again has the answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who took Frodo to be a long-lost cousin at 'The Prancing Pony'
Who took Frodo to be a long-lost cousin at 'The Prancing Pony'
Correct Naira, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What was most distinctive about the town of Esgaroth
What was most distinctive about the town of Esgaroth
The town of Esgaroth was-- Well, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I feel like letting someone else take it. If no one answers within like three or four days... then I'll answer it.
Well, I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I feel like letting someone else take it. If no one answers within like three or four days... then I'll answer it. Arco, does your Esgaroth answer have something in common with egrets, cranes, flamingos, and even the hut of a famous Russian witch?
No, from the top of my head I think it was on stilts or something like that. Right? or not?
Yeah, it was built on stilts over Long Lake; stilts are what I was after, so Arcormacolind’va gets the pretty bauble.
Those long legged birds stand on stilt-like legs and Baba Yaga's hut stood upon and moved around on chicken-like legs.
Can you name three of the great Eagles of Arda
Those long legged birds stand on stilt-like legs and Baba Yaga's hut stood upon and moved around on chicken-like legs.
Can you name three of the great Eagles of Arda
Actually, Grondy, I can't ... But I can name four of them; hope this will do:
Thorondor, Gwaihir, Landroval and Meneldor!
Namarie!
Thorondor, Gwaihir, Landroval and Meneldor!
Namarie!
Actually, Bugy, you could and did, and you just get extra credit for the fourth, for the answer was: "Any three from: Gwaihir, Landroval, Thorondor, and Meneldor." So you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What gemstone did Bilbo pocket inside the Lonely Mountain
What gemstone did Bilbo pocket inside the Lonely Mountain
The Arkenstone....the one gem that Thorin was most eager to get since it was his heritage!
Aul’ has the right answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.
