Frodo's uncle, Rorimac, was Merry's grandfather.

Rorimac was the brother of Frodo's mother, Primula Brandybuck. That makes them first cousins, once removed.
And don't you go listening to Ted Sandyman! Nice work Radagast, your turn.

Not EXACTLY... but you're on the right track. Could almost give it to you, but since I just posted it, let's see if you can get right on!

Last Prince of Cardolan is correct! The kings of Cardolan would have been descendants of Earendur... and we're told that they had all died out some years before, by the time Arthedain reclaimed Cardolan and Rhudaur for that reason. Cardolan went along with that, but Rhudaur opposed it.
We don't really know who that 'last prince of Cardolan' was - but it seems clear he wasn't descended from Earendur - or their king! Your turn Radagast! |

OK - this is a toughie, I think. It just gets an offhand reference someplace in the appendices:
Who was captain of the soldiers of the Dark Tower? I'll start to drop some hints if it turns out to be too tough! |

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
