Are we all supposed to answer, or is it first-come-first-serve?

Sorry, I should have made this more clear, this is entirely my fault. ;) First one to answer gets the points. If you are wrong you can guess again, as many times as you want, there is research allowed but the only research you can make is by looking through the books or movies. No internet help. First one to get to one hundred points wins.

KF Arathorn is correct, Five points to you.


QUESTION 2 FOR 10 POINTS

Name the 13 Dwarf Protagonists in The Hobbit

Because since I’m not online a lot others will beat me to the answer. I knew the first one, but wasn’t online to post it.

Bookworm, that is correct, 10 points to you.

If you have a solution to this problem I would be happy to hear it :)


Question 3 for 10 points
Name the actors who played Gimli, Aragorn, and Legolas in the Peter Jackson LOTR films.


EDIT: Musical Shutterbug has just PM'D me the correct answers and I am done for the day. What I have decided is I will only do two questions a day, at different times. So I am done for the day, watch for the two questions tomorrow! \:D/

Here are the current standings:

KF- 5 points
Bookworm- 10 Points
Musical Shutterbug- 10 points

If you’re set on only letting one person answer each question, then there probably isn’t one. PMing the answers would have timing issues itself. My suggestion would be to let more than one person score for the questions, but that changes the game so if this is how you want it to be then I’ll just have to hope I’m online at the right times.

OK, since Jehoshaphat had a real reason why he couldn't get on for a long period of time I will award him five bonus points. If anybody else has a reason they will be gone for more than a day I may award them bonus points as well. Here are the current standings:

Knight Fisher: 5 points
Bookworm: 10 points
Jehoshaphat: 15 points
Musical Shutterbug: 30 points

All-right looks like Musical Shutterbug is in the lead, with 30 points, Jehosaphat is hot on her tail with 15 points, Bookworm has 10 points, and Knight Fisher is bringing up the rear with 5 points. And now for the next question.

Question 5: For 10 Points: (Special round, no research what so ever for this question)
Name the nine characters who formed the Fellowship of the Ring

Nice try KF, but I don’t think Taps is being that strict. Besides, he could have just said ‘Sam’ ;)

Very true. I didn't expect to get the points, however. Since I am in the back I decided it was worth a try.

Good one KF ;) Tell you what? technically Jehoshaphat didn't get the answer (But i'm still awarding him the ten points) but I'll give you 5 points as well for correctly getting the answer- if that makes any sense.


Question 6: for 5 points
Name the third chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring (No research on this question as well)
