Yay! A new quiz! Thanks Val! Printing it now. I only have my copy of the Sil here now, and I won't get my other copies back until 6th of January, so I'll have to be a bit more patient with this one.
Val, question here, is it possible that you made a mistake in #27? 
Tommie,
Val did not make a mistake on # 27. Check your private postBodys. I told you where to find it.

You were right, Mellie, thanks for the tip! Sorry Val, got a bit confused, but Mellie sorted it out for me. 
Only have to find #7 now. Know where to find it, just need my copy and I don't have it here, so I'll have to wait another week to send my answers in.

Val, you do realize that you put one of the answers to your quiz in another thread, don't you? As matther of fact it was place 10 days after the quiz was put out. The funny thing is, I just saw it. lol
Thanks for confirmig my answer was correct.
Mellie
Thanks for confirmig my answer was correct.
Mellie
Hey Mellie, don't let him know that, he might hold back some of his neatly researched knowledge, and then we'd never learn such things as the story about someone's family heirloom that was pieced together from snippetts found in the multiple volumes of Tolkien's work. 
Grondy, you are the one that gave him the clue which question was answered. I was afraid that I we said that he might delete the tread or something. I mean it is going to be hard for people to go through over evevty eleven posts and find it. lol
I was aware of it actually Mellie. I wrote the question a good while before writing the actual thread, but the question reminded me that the subject was something I had wanted to bring up for a while.
Just shows what a wealth of information we are compiling here. I received your answers by the way, Mellie, but I haven't had time to go through them yet.

wow!!!
oh, btw I had to delete Question #2 because a duplicate of one of Val's. So, mine only has 74 instead of 75.

Congrats everyone on doing so well on the 3rd one.

Can someone please tell me how this quizing thing works?
If you go back to the very first post in this Thread, Namo, it will give you instructions (but rather than sending your answers to me this time, send them to Mellie instead).
Basically don't answer the questions here, like in Grondy's general knowledge questions, but write them in a document and either email or private postBody them to Mellie. I usually give a month for a set of questions to be answered, but as Mellie has forgotten to tell us when she wants them in by, we'll have to wait to find out.

Nice quiz so far Mellie. I finished all but four of the questions last night, but will probably take a while locating the answers to those four as I'm away a bit in the coming week. Number 21's got me stumped, though. I cannot find a reference to it anywhere.

Good, nice to know the shoe is on the other foot now. Number 21's got me stumped, though. I cannot find a reference to it anywhere.
I found that answer in thirty seconds and Rednell might even locate it in less. Actually, thanks to that new book that I purchased yesterday, Grondmaster, I found the answer in less than 10 seconds.
I wish I had this book when I attempted Val's quiz.

OH!!!! Btw, I edited the quiz and it now has a questsion #2. So, there are 75 questions, after all!!!!
Sounds like my quiz is way tooooo easy. I will have to try harder next time.

All's I've got to do is find out what book Rednell bought yesterday and I'll be okay then. I can find a lot of references for Snowbourn but nothing for Snowthorn. I was hoping it was perhaps a typo but if Nell and Grondy have already found it, I'd better keep looking. Actually, thanks to that new book that I purchased yesterday, Grondmaster, I found the answer in less than 10 seconds
Well, my latest purchase is The Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad. Ohhhhh, and I love it sooo. 
But I also found the same answer in UT, which I also love. Especially since it is a gift from a very special friend.

Oops, I haven't done the quiz yet and have messed up royaly: When I went to see what question #21 was, my eyes glombed on to #22 instead, so at the present time I am also worried about Snowthorn being a typo.
Sorry Val, you don't have to look so hard now. :elfembar:
Mellie, we need a confirmation that #21 is spelled correctly. Please.

Nell, found it in the same book I did. Sorry, Val, Snowthorn is not a typo.

I'll have to look harder. That's one of the books I looked in, but I didn't find it in there. Nor did I find it in UT, but there are a lot of hiding places in there.Well, my latest purchase is The Atlas of Middle Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad.
Originally, I made the same mistake as Grondy in mistaking #22 for #21. 
However, I did find snowthorn in UT.

So much that I missed!!! Yay! I actually outscored Nell on the last quiz! 
Congrats to everyone, and esp. to Remi! (hi there btw)
Gonna try my hand at Mellie's now. I have some time on my hands, so...
Wow another quiz! I am printing it right now...
Ok, there is a typo in my Quiz. You need to thank remi for pointing it out to me. Thanks, remi I do appreciate it.
The typo is in #34 it is suppose to be ’bal not ’bel. Sorry folks. I wish I could say that I did not make mistakes, but I am not perfect. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Ok, I got your answers remi. I am checking them now. lol
Just got two to go. I've spent longer looking for Snowthorn than all the other questions put together, and cannot find the birthplace of Durin either (except that it's not where I always thought it was).
No doubt I've managed to make a few silly mistakes as well which I will really kick myself for later.

Found it at last (with just a slight pointer from Nell). Now I've just got to find where Durin was born. 
Remi, you did very well. Don't worry. But I am not telling how many you got right yet. hehehehehe. Val did this to me as well.
It is so nice to see Val struggling on 1 or 2. I remember having that problem on his quizzes, and he would not help me. HEHEHEHEHHE. Sorry, that I am picking on you Val. I just can't help myself.

Oh shucks. Didn't want to make it too easy. 
Sorry uruk_slayer. But you found it now. Maybe you can send in your answers on time now. May I ask what the other 3 questions you're struggling on are? Just curious to know what kinds of questions are the hardest to find.

Mind you, I'm quite enjoying having a taste of my own medicine. I'll let you have the answers once I've found Durin's birthplace.

So, who is making the next quiz? You or me Val? I can do another one, if you want to continue having a break, or we can arternate. which ever is fine by me. Just let me know.
I have one which I've started Mellie. By the middle of the month it will hopefully be ready, but if you want to start another one yourself, it can go either before or after mine.
I haven't even copied your quiz yet Mellie, but I intend on giving it a go. :elfembar: (Oops, and I wrote that after I chastised Tommie and Sheryl for making similar posts too. Oh well. Do what I say, don't do what I do.
Well, Val, I have to admit that I like remi's suggeestion of alernating. I have not even started another quiz yet.
Well, Grondy, you only have 17 days left, if you are going to give it a go, you need to get started. Good luck.
Looking forward to getting everyone's answers.
