Yup, poor old fat and lazy Nokes. So I suggest we never sneer at anyone from Faery. Amari’ gets the Pseudo-Silmaril. 
What was the name of ’omer's weapon of choice
What was the name of ’omer's weapon of choice
G’thwine.
I should've known it was NOkes. Being all fat, and getting all skinny and all. 'Twas Alf's doing, 'twas.
Then you should look really carefully on those lists of Tolkien's works in all the books. It's there. It's a lovely little story, a sort of kiddy adult story. I loved it.

Gandalf was sent to Dol Guldur. Sauron went to the east so Gandalf failed to discover that Sauron was back again.

I actually was looking for the "Classics" and I don't think "English Language and Literature" fits that; if I'm wrong let me know.

What was an ’ored
What was an ’ored
A rohirric army. Theodens men.
Edit:
Encyclopedia of Arda says "An ’ored was the main military division of the Rohirrim". I just remembered it from the movie. I wondered if it was like a hird and I guess it was.

Amari’ has the answer and the pretty bauble.
What would probably have prevented Glaurung from destroying Nargothrond
(Sorry I wasn't here yesterday, my modem has been acting up.)
What would probably have prevented Glaurung from destroying Nargothrond
(Sorry I wasn't here yesterday, my modem has been acting up.)
If T’rin passed by Nargothrond, it may have stayed hidden and avoided the sack... Alas Turambar brought his terrible doom with him to Nargothrond, and convinced Orodreth and his council to build a mighty bridge and to change their war tactics.
But this occurred and was ignored even after the bridge was built.
The bridge made it easier for the army of Glaurung to come to Nargothrond. If it had been destroyed, the enemy might have been delayed. I think someone had proposed to destroy the bridge some time before the war, but Turin had not approved of it.
Floyd_n_milan had the answer that I was looking for, and now has the pretty bauble.
Can you find the Odd Man Out: Goldilocks Gamgee, Galadriel, Dior, Isildur, Faramir
Can you find the Odd Man Out: Goldilocks Gamgee, Galadriel, Dior, Isildur, Faramir
Goldilocks Gamgee : her name consists of two words.
(heh)
Seriously : Dior, Isildur, Faramir and Galadriel are all in a way, related to each other.
Galadriel is related to Dior, because Dior's wife is Nimloth, who was Celeborn's niece, with Celeborn being Galadriel's husband.
Dior is the grandfather of Elros, who is the first King of Numenor, hence related to Isildur who is of the line of Kings via the lords of Anduni’. Faramir is related to Isildur, but indirectly via Mardil, son of Voronw’.
Goldilocks Gamgee doesn't take part in any of these relations, so she is the odd (wo)man out.

Virumor can have a Pseudo-Silmaril for his answer, but that's not the one I was looking for.
Umm, Galadriel is the only "Ring-bearer" and she's the only one who's seen Valinor. Also, she's the only one of them all, who doesn't have to face death.
Goldilocks is the only character without some elven in her blood.
