    Im not going to repeat them all as the only one i wasn't sure of was 19, but i think the Tramp is right.

    I think Tramp got 25 wrong though because none of them appeared in the film but they were all in the book.

    Question 15 is wrong though - the right answer would be Oliphants not Elephants.

    Hmm, I didn't know that one either. (Well, knew it wasn't Beren) - Where are the other names mentioned?

    Yeah. You're probably right about number 25. It was late though

    I agree with question 15. But I figured that 'oliphants' was more likely to be meant as 'elephants' than 'tigers', 'camels' or 'mice'.

    19 was a toss-up between b. Olorin and c. Beren. But I think that it's c.

    Re 19. Names of Gandalf - Mithrander of course (elvish name), Beren no (?), and Olorin yes ('Olorin was I in my youth in the West that is forgotten'), (had to look that one up!!) mentioned in Two Towers. So where is Tharkun mentioned?

    If I remember rightly, Tharkun is the name given to him by the Dwarves. No idea which book that comes into though.

    "It was these records that brought the Grey Pilgrim to us. I first saw him when I was a child, and he has been twice or thrice since then."
    "The Grey Pilgrim?" said Frodo. "Had he a name?"
    "Mithrandir we called him in elf-fashion," said Faramir, "and he was content. 'Many are my names in many countries,' he said. 'Mithrandir among the Elves, Tharkûn to the Dwarves; Olórin I was in my youth in the West that is forgotten, in the South Incanus, in the North Gandalf; to the East I go not'."

    The Two Towers: "The Window on the West"

    Tharkûn:
    Tharkûn was the name by which Gandalf was known among the Dwarves. It was said to mean "staff man."
    (Unfinished Tales: "The Istari")

    Thanks. I got the Olórin reference from Silmarillion index but it didn't mention Tharkûn or give exactly where in Two Towers.
