When was the first attack on Lorien? (in the war of the ring in the third age, that is)

Hmmm. The Pellennor occurred march 15. The army of Morgul set out on about the 11th, IIRC. I'm gonna guess March 13 for the first battle of Lorien.

Well, of course I'm close
The problem is moving from 'close' to 'right'

Well, I'd better keep guessing now & then - or just look it up:

How's about March 14th?

OK - I finally peaked... March 11. That would have been my next logical guess anyway, since we had guessed March 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 - and you told me I was getting 'colder' with 17!

If an elf is exactly 45 1/2 yen in age, how old is he/she in our years (elf 'loa')?

Extra Credit: How many 'dog years' is that equal to?

After cecking the appendixes...

45864 dog years. (first time I use the coputer calculator)
