Was that in FotR? But anyway...
Gil-Galad was an Elven king...his lance was keen.

Right. Now I ask a question? Umm...*skims through FotR*
Who was the first to attempt to come to Gandalf's aid, right before he smote the Bridge?

Without looking I would say Boromir since he usually brought up the rear.

Aragorn!
"He cannot stand alone!"..."Elendil!"...."I am with you, Gandalf!" Boromir was next..."Gondor!"

Great!
How about this......What did Bilbo forget to do, until there was no time left to do it? (luckily, he was able to come up with a good solution to the problem)

I believe that answer is...Bilbo kept putting off finishing his book.
Or perhaps not...but I think that is right,

He forgot to let the elven smiths repair Frodo's sword. So he gave Sting to Frodo as replacement.

Oh man! You are GOOD Earniel! That's it!
Gwaimir, I love looking in the book! You pick up so much, and see the wonderful dialog! I like to post a bit of extra info gleaned from the book with my answers, this way, a trivia game can help people learn, with the book having so much more cool stuff than the movie, and some members here might not have read the book yet. Go ahead, crack that book!

Oh I'm not that good. I just read that particular chapter 3 days ago.
I assume it is my turn now, if not feel free to throw a virtual book at my head. Queston: Who argued with Gandalf to take another road than that through Moria?

And I love the books too; but I thought it would be cheating to look for the answers? Or is this an open-book exam?
