On what date was Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in Khazad-d’m
On what date was Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in Khazad-d’m
It depends on what stage of their meeting you're calling a confrontation.
But let's say - it all began on January,23 and ended January,25 (3019).
Poor me! Needed to go for the book and look for it feeling so
Oh, have I waited 24 hours??
If not so, please forgive me

I guess I should have said their initial confrontation, the date the Fellowship thought they had forever lost their friend and mentor. (I hadn't realized it took them so long to fall to the bottom and then climb back to the top, but that's what Appendix B says. Probably they lay at the bottom for a few days licking their wounds.)
Oh, 23 January was much too late a date.
Also the 24 hour rule applies only for the very next question, once that has been answered you are again free to answer. I just don't want the same person answering every question.

Then January,15.
Was too sleepy, looked at the wrong place in the book and even didn't mention that Mungo posted smth
but still began arguing!
Although the question seems o'k: confrontation in Khazad-Dum (and Zirakzigil's no connection)

The answer can be found in the Silmarillion in the chapter entitled 'Of the coming of the Elves' closer to the end than the beginning. You can also get it off the charts in the rear of the book.

In Smith of Wootton Major, how often did the Feast of Good Children come around
(This feast was a holiday for children, not the Autumn Feast at Castle Harfang in C.S. Lewis's The Silver Chair, where the Giants considered a pie made with good children a delicacy.)

No, its a number of years between one and twenty-five. Now you get to guess the number, if you haven't read the book.
7
i thought it was 8?????? *shrug shoulders*
Actually it was 24 years, 
so nobody gets the Pseudo-Silmaril today and I'll post a new question for you to answer.
As no one appears to have read Smith of Wootton Major, I recommend that you find a copy and give it a read, it is a good the tale.
What was the emblem of Sauron in Mordor

And why is that Elrose, there have been a couple of intervening questions answered and quite a few days since you answered your last one correctly, can it mean you don't really know the answer?
no, i was merely trying to remind ppl of the rules so i can have a shot at the questions! unless ur saying that we dont need to follow the rules, Grondy!

Dwimordene?
You got it Samwisegamgee, the answer and the pretty bauble. Elrose's answer was close but not close enough.
Now Samwisegamgee and only Samwisegamgee must wait 24 hours after I post this before answering it. Everyone else may answer as soon as they can. The rule is to keep the same person from answering twice in a row without anyone else getting a chance.
What was the first story from The Silmarillion to be put on paper

so thats wot that rule means...and i dont feel like looking up the spelling of Of Beren and Luthien....or actually The Sketch of the Mythology (the earliest Sil.) right? im guessing the Sketch of Mithology but i think if u meant like, titled story then it would be Of Beren and Luthien.
Well, I thought it was 'The Fall of Gondolin', but now I can't find the source for that, so I guess the question is a non-starter because I can not varify the answer. Sorry.
