Tolkien Quiz

I’ve taken part in two RL Tolkien quizzes so far this year. The one in April at the  Moreton in Marsh art exhibition was very formal – we sat down with question papers and had a set time to complete. The one at Sarehole was more a matter of pick up a form and submit it if you want to. As most of the questions were of the ‘what colour is Gandalf’s hat?’ variety, I didn’t bother. The Moreton one was more challenging but still with lots of very easy questions that pandered to all levels of knowledge. So I thought it would be interesting to try and write one that was more of a challenge but without being so hard and obscure that it was no fun to actually take part.

 

So while I’ve been going about my mundane chores [mucking out the sheds mostly – very boring]  I’ve been dredging my knowledge and dreaming up what I hope are interesting questions.

 

If you would like to have a go, questions are under the cut and I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
