Let's have a guess: two?
Six, preciousssss, six....
Gildor inglorion has the correct answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril. 
Why did Niggle fall off his bicycle
Why did Niggle fall off his bicycle
As Leaf by Niggle hasn't been widely read, though I think it is one of J.R.R. Tolkien's better short stories, I'll give the answer tomorrow if no one has guessed it sooner. The story can be found in The Tolkien Reader ISBN 0-345-34506-1.
Never read the story, sorry Grondy. Can't seem to find it anywhere. 
Okay, the answer is: Niggle fell off his bicycle when, as he was riding along, a shadow suddenly came between himself and the sun. He looked up, and there unexpectantly was his tree.

hmm was it the ring of barahir?
That's close enough Fingolfin; though what he found and took away from the orcs was his late father, Barahir's hand which still wore the ring given to him by Finrod Felagund of Nargothrond (Galadriel's brother). Okay, it was later known as both the Ring of the House of Isildur and the Ring of Barahir; and it was handed down to Aragorn as the family heirloom. Fingolfin gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

It is indeed Amon S’l ’ Hold the Alt button down and type 0251 on the numeric keyboard at the right, rather than above the letters, when you let up from the Alt key you should see the letter ’ ’ However, as Lemaly orangeflower didn't wait the required 24 hours per the rules in the first post, she only gets the above ’ thingy.

Miruvor gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for Nob.
Almost correct Gwaihir.

Who sang the following line in one of Tolkien's poems
Who sang the following line in one of Tolkien's poems
Quote:
When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
When light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
It's from the Ent song, and sung by an Ent. 
Can someone be more specific? Was it Fimbrethil, Finglas, Fladrif, Leaflock, Quickbeam, Skinbark, Wandlimb, etc.? (Yes, I know some of these names belong to the same Ents.)
I'll hazard a guess but I don't have my books here so don't shoot me if I'm wrong: Fangorn himself?
It is from an Elvish song about the Ents that the Ents knew by heart, and Treebeard sang it to the Hobbits. Traditionally the song was sung by both Ents and Entwives, but since they lost the Entwives, only Treebeard sang it.
You had the complete history Lemaly orangeflower, however Tommie got there first with Fangorn, which is another name for Treebeard as we all know. So Tommie gets the pretty bauble.

Who built Barad Nimras and where was it located
I'll just hazard a guess, wasn't that the tower overlooking the western sea near the grey havens that the numenorians built?
Oh my! I better get my Sil back from my friend!
No, it was built a bit farther west and a few millennia earlier.
It was built by Finrod Felagund and was on the cape west of Eglarest.
Correct Lemaly orangeflower, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who was Tailbiter, what was his full name
Who was Tailbiter, what was his full name
I admit that I had to look this up, but you got me a bit confused with the "who". I found that it was Caudimordax, an old magic sword used to fight dragons. It comes from "Farmer Giles of Ham".
You got me Tommie and the pretty bauble for the correct answer. I don't know why I got myself thinking I was asking about the dragon's name instead of the sword. 'When all else fails, engage brain before activating mouth.'
Who trusted that Bilbo would be punctual
I don't know why I got myself thinking I was asking about the dragon's name instead of the sword. 'When all else fails, engage brain before activating mouth.' Who trusted that Bilbo would be punctual
