Oh no, certainly I wouldn't argue against a race of germs being considered a singular entity in the context of your riddle. |

Two species friendship proved to last
Remembered from a distant past. Yet good advice went by unheeded causing strife that was not needed. Then a stolen treasure traded for supplies to those blockaded. (their leader certainly felt jaded) Nonetheless no food was sent and a fight was called when none was meant. Quote:

Here's a little quick one:
I'm at the end of my range, the last horn blowing. |

Boromir's last winding of his horn? (on the borders of Gondor)

Nope. But that is a fine guess! I can't say for certain that this horn ever blew. I mostly needed the "blowing" part for rhyming purposes. Not to say that there wasn't blowing. There very well probably was. I just can't prove it.
Thanks for trying, please give it another blow, er I mean go. Next! |

I'm not so sure on this one. It sounds like Ulmo with Tuor. The end of his (Ulmo's) range being the sea shore. Ulmo did blow the horn though, didn't he? He certainly “sounded” it. |

Correct on the Algebra Riddle. The Shire firm of Grubb, Grubb & Burrowes was contracted to sell off all of Bilbo's stuff. Great guess on the Last Horn Riddle. You make a nice point. But you are not even close. I'll give y'all some clues to help narrow it down. This is a LOTR based riddle. You don't need any other books. The key words to focus on are last horn. End of my range is helpful as well. Knowing a bit of Elvish would be useful, but not necessary. Next! |

This 'horn' one is tough. Sometimes the short ones are, since they give so little to go on. And sometimes can even get ambiguous. I thought the algebra might have been that group/firm - but didn't recall the names.

Another thought...could it be Aragorn? "range" made me think of a "Ranger," which he was, and when he took his place as King of Gondor he was "at the end of his range." The "last horn blowing" could then refer to the last battle horn, because when he was crowned king the battle against Sauron was over...

The rangers are not part of this riddle. Also, it is not necessarily a battle horn. Keep guessing! |

*musters up another guess
Okay, is it Theoden? The "last horns blowing" could refer to Theoden hearing his last horns, or something like that...as for "at the end of his range," Theoden was killed at the Fords of Isen, which at the border of Rohan, therefore, at the end of his territory or range of power. *crosses fingers*

That is creative thinking, but it's not even near. Except that the solution To Theoden would be clear. |
