(Now here's our first 'thread-game'... these can get quite amusing

Here's everyone's chance to STUMP everyone else! The way it works is(I'll start) someone asks a question, whomever gets the answer right asks the next one, and so on and so forth! Helps to keep us at the pinnacle of our knowledge and gives us the chance to maybe someday stump the Valar

(alright, just kidding with that last one... but you get the point

How old was Aragorn when Bilbo's BIG party occurred at the beginning of FotR?(2 years leniency since birthday info is sketchy if you haven't researched it... so if you're two years up or down, I'll let it slip

I've got to add one more thing to this, Everyone at least TRY to do this without books!(Consider this as though they were questions on your entry test, not that we'd ever EVER EVER give you ones this hard, and do them without books

If you're completely stumped and it's been a while and nobody's answered......... go ahead and look it up or ask for a hint...
