you was also invited Yes, Mellon gets the Pseudo-Silmaril for the correct answer.
Yes Aldaradan, I probably recycled it even more times than that; but we do get new people here so I don't feel like coming up with new ones very often as after doing this for six or seven years it seems to get stale.

You have the correct answer Turgon, but not the Pseudo-Silmaril, for you answered 13 hours too soon.

you got it right but answered to early see rule on front page.

No, the rule only applies to the person who got the last correct answer so that they have to wait a day before they can answer again allowing someone else a crack at the question,
There is one exception: If during the 24 hour waiting period a second person correctly answers the new question and I post an even newer question, then the first person can go ahead and answer the newer question and the new waiting period now applies to the second person.
This rule was instigated because if a person was always here just after I posted the question and they always answered it correctly; no one else would ever get a chance to answer it. This still may not solve the problem for everyone, but it usually works well for most.
So, Aldaradan gets the pretty bauble
but must now wait 24 hours while Turgon is free to answer the following question:Alqualond’ means 'Haven of.....' what
Swans.
Etharion you are correct.
Yup, Etharion gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
