it was Thorin he had a golden harp but i cant remember if it was he who played it?
We will assume Thorin played his golden harp on that occasion. Elessar loss’helin gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.

That would be "Of the Silmarils and the Unrest of the Noldor" from Quenta Silmarillion
You got it Lemaly orangeflower and the pretty bauble too.

nenya. or buznagtuluk.
Afraid not. Your first is the name of the "Ring of Adament", also known as the "Ring of Water", while your second name sounds like it is Orcish or possibly Dwarvish, but I think it is too gutteral for Dwarvish. Anyway, try again.
floiwer

No it is loth or lot’
Who or what threatened to squeeze Merry in two
Who or what threatened to squeeze Merry in two
im not sure but it sounds like Treebeard or some orc (Lugb’rz)??????
Nope.
Old Man Willow? I think that was his name...if not, I mean the Willow Tree that Tom Bombadill saved them from.
yesh.
Yuppers Lemaly orangeflower, Old Man Willow was the one who said he'd squeeze Merry to death if Sam didn't put out the fire, which Sam proceded to do post haste. Meanwhile both Merry and Pippin were trapped in the tree and had to wait until Tom came bouncing along to save them. All this was brought to you without benefit of PJ's celluloid ministrations. 
Name three outlying regions whose representatives Pippin saw arriving to bolster Minas Tirith's strength

He was in the company of Bergil son of Beregond of the Guards when he watched them entering the city.
You may use the books to answer these you know; this isn't a closed book test.
OK had a look at the book....will give it a try
Dol Amroth - Lossarnach - Morthond
There wre other places named as well - Ringlo Vale, Anfalas, Lamedon, Erthir Anduin, Pinnath Gelin.
Dol Amroth - Pinnath Gelin - Anfalas being the furthest in the map I have.

Golden_Red has it with Ungoliant who sucked the light out of the Two Trees and wanted the Silmarils three, which Melkor/Morgoth stole from Feanor and family. She wanted to eat them because they gave off such lovely light. Thus, Golden_Red gets another Pseudo-Silmaril which can't hold a candle to those Feanor made.
No new question this time Grondy?
Hmmm, we must have mice, so I'll post it again.

In what battle did Glaurung lead the Orcs to victory over the Noldor, breaking the Siege of Angband
That wouldnt be in the Dagor Bragollach, would it?
Yes it would Etharion, it is also known as the Battle of Flame; so you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What career was Gandalf suggesting that Saruman should have taken up, when he said 'Saruman, you missed your path in life.'

Who sang these words: "When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain-air."
Who sang these words: "When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain-air."
That was in the song of the Ents and Entwives, sung by an Ent in the song, and Fangorn (Treebeard) was the one that sang it in the book.
Correct Lemaly orangeflower, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.

Who built Barad Nimras and where
It was builded by Finrod, and it guarded the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest.

Close enough, the giant Bumble thought he had been stung by a fierce insect; another Pseudo-Silmaril is yours Elrose.
Who said, 'Go on! Go on! I will do the stinging!'
Who said, 'Go on! Go on! I will do the stinging!'
Pippin ?
nope, it was Bilbo.
Yup, Lord_aragorn86 knew Bilbo said it to the Dwarves after he unbound them from their spider cocoons and to them to, "Run away! Run away!" Oops, I think that last dire warning was from the story about the killer rabbit and the Holy Grail. Anyway, Lord_aragorn86 gets the pretty bauble.

A crown made of berries and red leaves
That's the right answer Mellon, a pretty bauble to you.
(No matter what Tolkien wrote, the picture in my mind has always been dark green holly leaves and red berries, which is actually the reverse of the truth.)
How did the Vanyar and Noldor cross from Beleriand into Aman
