• I have a similar batting average plegmund, though just managed a whopping 66.7% on the 'On the Town' one. Years since I read it, but just downloaded the old BBC radio version, so enjoying these.
• I'm just now beginning to reread it, so I'll post my score when I'm done. Stay tuned, everyone.
• I got 100 percent on Elves and Gods but haven't managed to score above 80 on anything else. Boooooo.
• Best I could do so far was 53.3% on Durin's Folk.
• I'm not game to try. I used to be a fount of knowledge on all things Tolkien but the brain has been leeched by time.
• Never having read the books, I scored 20% on the 'places' quiz, just through sheer guesswork. Consider that your baseline.
• Never having read the books... !
• Kill the heretic!!! /spittle
• Neeeeeeeeeeeeerds!!!
• Got 80% on Creatures, Great and Small.
• You mean...
• Some of these questions are based on JRR Tolkien's 'conjectural' margin notes that Christopher Tolkien assembled later. For instance, I don't think the two blue wizards are ever canonically named, just some hastily scribbled possiblity is given. I got 86.7% on Colors and Creatures, 80% on Battles and much lower on the other ones I took.
• 100% concerning hobbits...I should really budget some time this December for something other than re-re-re-re-reading the LOTR.
• This is so fantastically, baroquely dorky. I *heart* it. ;)
• Um, excuse me -- but I believe Ogre is in fact belching in that scene, which makes the exclamation "NERDS!" an inaccurate juxtaposition. Worst ROTN reference EVER!
• ROTN? ... as in, Rolling On The Nerd?
• Revenge of the Nerds, bees. Revenge. And I don't know how I know that.
• Thanks, Alnedra! Heh! I am now a Master of Middle-earth! 100% (at least) in Colours!
• =at last
• I tried the color one and had to guess for every single question. I got 53%. I can't tell if the test was hellza hard (because I had to guess on every question) or hellza easy (because I scored so high despite guessing for every question).
