Is it The Shadow of The Past Grondy?
That's what my book say's Thorin, you get the pretty bauble. 
If anyone hasn't been able to answer these trivia questions because Thorin gets to them first, let me know and I'll reinstate my 24 hour rule, but until then it is wide open, because we have so few active members.
What was the Sindarin name for Weathertop

Amon s’l I think?
That's it Amari’, you get the Pseudo-Silmaril.
What color is 'Celeb' in English
What color is 'Celeb' in English
Either gold or silver, but I remember that laurel or something along that is gold, so I'll go for silver?
Silver is correct loss, so you get the pretty bauble.
Why did Pippin want to visit the 'Golden Perch' at Stock
Why did Pippin want to visit the 'Golden Perch' at Stock
To taste its brew which according to him used to be the finest in these parts.
Actually it was 'in the Eastfarthing', but that's close enough to get Thorin the Pseudo-Silmaril.
How did Merry grow three inches taller during the War of the Ring?
How did Merry grow three inches taller during the War of the Ring?
He drank the water of the ents offered by Treebeard and Quickbeam.
Thorin has the correct answer and the pretty bauble.
Who found Merry lying by the roadside in Bree
Who found Merry lying by the roadside in Bree
Nob, a hobbit something at the Prancing Pony. BTW, what is Nob supposed to be? A servant there, butler, bellboy?
I think that Nob might have been a nickname just as Merry was for Meriadoc. Then there was also a Bob if I'm correct (I'm sure I am). BTW Welcome back Fionwe, long time no see.
Nob it was, Fionw’ gets the Pseudo-Silmaril. Nob was the servant at the Prancing Pony, Bob was the stable-boy, er...hobbit there.
Whose sword killed the Orc that speared Frodo

I'll say it was Narsil, and 'that' orc had his helm burst asunder as a bonus if i'm not wrong.
I think Elendil, the wielder of Narsil and Isildur wielder of a shard of Narsil were long gone by the time of Frodo was bruised. Read again the question, ensure brain is engaged before letting fingers provide the answer. 
I'll say it was Anduril, and 'that' orc had his helm burst asunder as a bonus if i'm not wrong. 
*Waits for Thorin to go "D'oh!" *
Read again the question, ensure brain is engaged before letting fingers provide the answer.Hint: There is a marked difference between the meanings of "Whose" and "Which".
Aragorn I guess. 
Oh Wow! 
I think he's got it; I think he's got it. So I guess he also should get the pretty bauble.
In what field was Saruman especially knowledgeable

Saruman was an expert in creating Uruk Hais and uprooting old trees. 
Not what I'm looking for; try again. I know Grondy I was kidding and wasting time in the hope to give someone else a chance to answer. I think the correct answer is that Saruman was knowledgeable in most matters and lore of the Rings of power.
Okay Thorin, a wink would have told me that.
Anyway, Thorin now has the correct answer and the Pseudo-Silmaril.
Who 'chanted a song of wizardry, of piercing, opening, of treachery'

I'll bet one of my axes it was Loss. It has all the ingredients for a record breaking, chart topping Nazgul song.
But then Even if it was a Nazgul song I think Sauron would have taken the credit so I'll say it was Sauron. (Between: Is in the duel between Finrod and Sauron in the Sil?)

That is it exactly Thorin, you get another pretty bauble.

You got it Golden_red, and the Pseudo-Silmaril too.

Was it Beorn? Sounds like him when the Dwarves were interrupting the story Gandalf was telling him.
That's it Thorin, so you get the pretty bauble.
By what name was Mirkwood formerly known

Greenwood the Great
Another correct answer for Thorin who gets the Pseudo-Silmaril.
The Elendili escaped the Downfall of N’menor in how many ships
The Elendili escaped the Downfall of N’menor in how many ships
Nine ships, four for Elendil, three for Isildur, and two for Anarion.
I'm going to ask one if I may.

Turin has the correct answer and the pretty bauble.
And no Turin, only Grondy gets to ask the questions In this thread. However, the membership may ask their own trivia questions under Trivia from Tolkien's Books where the person correctly answering the previous one gets to pose the next one. 
Please look for Turin's question there under my name and today's date; that is where someone should try answering it rather than under this thread.

What did Gandalf implore Thorin's Company not to do in Mirkwood
He told them not to dig the paths in search of mithril as it would make the elves very angry as they had no skill in mining themselves.
Nice try, but I think that is what Gandalf told the Dwarves everywhere he journeyed with them. This was towards keeping them from filling every road, path, and bike-trail with potholes into which Shadowfax might later stumble as they rode hell-bent-for-leather on those dark and stormy nights that adventurers often encounter in the wild. So seeing as how this ain't horseshoes: 'Close, but no cigar!'
Stray from the path.
That's it Turin, you get the Pseudo-Silmarin. (He or Beorn also told them not to drink from the enchanted stream, but I can't remember which.)
Who was Pippin's father

Correct again Turin, another pretty bauble for you.
