I am thinking of a specific individual.
Another hint.

This event occurs before the hobbits enter the OLD FOREST.

The answer that I was looking for is the fox.
It is from when the hobbits first started their journey from Bag End.

Quote:
"Hobbits!" he thought. "Well, what next? I have heard of strange doings in this land, but I have seldom heard of a hobbit sleeping out of doors under a tree. Three of them! There's something mighty queer behind this." He was quite right, but he never found out any more about it.
I took the text's use of exclamation points to impy surprise on the part of the fox.


Anyone else may ask the next question.

I probably should have ask anybody do ask the next question.

Meanwhile, in San Francisco the following story was over heard . . .
================================================== ====
This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done

No question. Just a humorous story I'm sharing with all till the next question:

Since Nobody asked the last question:

What was Frodo warned against touching?

Galadrial's mirror.

Correct. Your turn.

I am glad you enjoyed the story.
(I wish I could claim credit for it, but I heard it years ago and I recently found it posted on the Internet.)

===============================================
Bonus Math for anyone interested.

For Right Traingles

SOH-CAH-TOA

SOH = Sine is the Opposite over the Hypotenuse. (Sin = Opp/Hyp)

CAH = Cosine is the Adjacent over the Hypotenuse. (Cos = Adj/Hyp)

TOA = Tangent is the Opposite over the Adjacent. (Tan = Opp/Adj)


For angle A:

Sin = a/c
Cos = b/c
Tan = a/b

Tan = Sin/Cos = (a/c)/(b\c) = a\b

PS: is there a way to get an image posted without using the link location of the image? (You may pm me if you do not want to post this in the tread.)

Yeah, I've heard the story before too. It's a good one.

If the hobbits went in the order of eldest or quickest in their baths, who would be last?

How did Aragorn know Underhill wasn't Frodo's name?
