@Mojo

I think there is one correct answer for each, but then there is like half points if you pick the funny answers, or something. Mojo will know!

I'm just going to say that last one, in Three, was quite an educational experience.

Ahh yes, there are a few questions (and responses) that require a knowledge of Early 2000s internet culture

Posted: **Tue Jun 30, 2020 4:14 pm**

I will say that there is a lot of early 2000s internet culture that I do not get because I wasn’t old enough for the internet in the early years of the 2000s.

tragically no it's super old i just decided to save it for the first dwarf related thing i had to announce

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:15 pm**

Woohoo, time to dust off the brain.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this happen, but I have a reservation with the first question here.

(Khazad-dûm lay beneath three mountains: Caradhras, Celebdil, and Fanuidhol. They are first mentioned in the chapter "The Ring Goes South"; Gimli expressly states that "under them [plural] lies Khazad-dûm". The first two both appear as potential answers here. I initially picked Caradhras since that's the most famous of the three, but after overthinking things, switched to Celebdil since the Fellowship's path, and thus most of what we see of Moria, primarily lay beneath that peak (cf. Fonstad's map; Celebdil is also mentioned in question eight as its peak is the upper end of the "Endless" Stair). Apparently, I should have stuck with my first instinct.

But really, either answer should be correct.)

Seriously loving these!! thank you to all involved in making them happen!

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:49 pm**

Nice!

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:53 pm**

Okay, so after some consultation it appears that one of the questions had multiple answers which were in fact correct. That question has been edited so that there is only one correct answer.

There were 3 people who had guessed the second correct answer in the original question. Those 3 (@Almarëa Mordollwen @Aduchil & @Eldy Dunami ) were given an extra point by @Winddancer to correct the mistake that was made in the Quiz. All should be good now, my apologies for the confusion!

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 8:59 pm**

Thank you for all your work, @Mojo and @Winddancer!

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:02 pm**

No worries! Thanks for the heads up!

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:04 pm**

No worries, @Mojo! Thanks for all of your hard work on these - we really appreciate it. :smiley8:

(And thank you to @Winddancer as well!)

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:49 pm**

Welcome! I am just glad we got to it quick so we didnt have to redo all tribs

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 10:25 pm**

Gosh, that was super quick tribbing. Thanks team

Posted: **Thu Jul 02, 2020 10:26 pm**

We got mad skills bro! :P

Posted: **Sun Jul 05, 2020 10:46 am**

Only just noticed this now! Another fun one, thank you. :D

IMPORTANT LOTHLORIEN ANNOUNCEMENT

quiz 5 out now on lotrfanaticsplaza.com

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:14 pm**

Thank you!!! Much enjoyed it, as always.

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:31 pm**

Ooh, didn't do so well with this one.

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 9:34 pm**

yeah man this one is a beast I gotta say

Posted: **Sun Jul 12, 2020 11:55 pm**

Phew...that one made me sweat.

Now I know how Boromir felt about entering Lothlorien.

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:12 am**

Yowza only 8/10 on that one!

But still lots of fun. Thank you!

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 8:45 am**

Oooh 9/10 for me! Had a perfect run in these halls until now.

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 11:29 am**

Tsk.. back to school for you all!

I’d say back to the books for me! The ones I’ve missed in all the knowledge halls have been “I can’t quite remember the answer, but I remember what is shown in the movie...so I’m going with that one.”

It’s not difficult with The Hobbit movies because there’s like nothing that resembles the book to me...LOTR movies always felt pretty similar and surprised how many of the smaller details they changed!

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 12:23 pm**

The Hobbit movies should be burned..

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 2:20 pm**

Got 9, but also got lucky on two answers I wasn't really sure on. I probably should prioritise re-reading them if things are going to carry on in this general direction.

Posted: **Mon Jul 13, 2020 4:11 pm**

9, fuming 'cos I misread the rivers question as "runs through!". ;)

Actually screw that, I need to not get 10, so I can be an even stevens again.

Posted: **Thu Jul 16, 2020 4:13 am**

I fell behind, but just did IV. I might need to wait a bit to do V until I finish my re-read of LotR. *g*

Posted: **Sat Jul 18, 2020 4:46 am**

8/10 on the Lothlorien quiz, so not too bad. Also

to the genius (or insane) person for that last one. Had me stumped for awhile, but got it right.

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 7:40 am**

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 9:17 am**

Thank you for safely guiding me to the halls, Link-horse!

I breezed through this one a bit easier than the last.

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:08 am**

I (horse) sweated at the prospect of a test on Rohan. Thankfully I had not forgotten the faces of my forefathers

.

Looking forward to the next round of questions!

@Narv,

You weren't resident at Uffington 3400 years ago by any chance?

Whoo, more Knowledge Hall!

...And I even got all the Rohan questions correct, go me.

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 3:47 pm**

@Aodh Hammerhelm

Definitely looks like the rough draft for the finished product.

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 4:37 pm**

I aced this one! Which unfortunately means I'm still stuck with an odd number of points, but it's worth for the bragging rights!

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 7:42 pm**

Ah, seeingly I know more about horses than elves.

Thanks, questioneers.

Posted: **Mon Jul 20, 2020 8:58 pm**

Aced it! Still stuck at uneven points, but I guess all the research about Rohan I've done over the last few days to try and create a convincing Rohir character has paid off.

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2020 5:31 am**

i present our most recent assessment: my recurrent acknowledgements to the discernment of its inventor, and my imminent compliments to our intelligent and proficient participents! i mean pants. participants.

i hope you all get tENT out of tENT

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2020 8:23 am**

I do believe I have passed this ASSessment. I mean, assessmENT.

EDIT: also, I couldn't have imagined being awarded my points any quicker than that! Thank you.

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2020 3:44 pm**

*wipes sweat from my bark* Wood have to leaf Fangorn if I didn't get 100percENT on that one!

Thank you for another awesome knowledge hall!

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2020 4:45 pm**

A recent re-read of The Towers certainly helped with this. Thanks for the Hall!

Posted: **Wed Jul 29, 2020 5:50 pm**

Thank you for another knowledge hall. I spit out my coffee with one possible answer being a convENTion.
