I feel like you should have been able to spell Tolkien.

Oops.

23 out of 30, but I feel I've really missed a few quite easy ones. Well, it's nothing to get suicidal over. Or is it?
-
25 out of 30. I don't know if that's a good thing or not.
-
24 of 30. Most of those near the end were guesses.
I've looked one of them up and the references point to volume 2 of "The History of Middle-Earth". I wonder how many people actually read or tried that book...
-
23 out of 30 as well. Some I had to guess, but even if I didn’t know most of the elves’ names, many of the drug names have letters or letter combinations that don’t fit Tolkien’s elf-naming patterns so they’re not that hard to guess right.
-
@Gurth Yeah, that helped a bit.
26 out of 30 here. One of the ones I missed was from the Unfinished Tales which I don't have, so I don't feel too badly about that.

12/30
Damn, I think that causes me to lose some geek cred.

While not completely random...as a human cannot be. But I answered without thinking about it and got 22/30.

I got 23/30.
Mini-trivia question:
What are his names for which "J. R. R." are the initials?Answer:"John Ronald Reuel"
-
25 for me. Also, Tolkien's names are John Ronald Reuel.
-
26/30, and one where I knew when I clicked that I made the wrong choice (a double "ll" (*) in the middle of the name doesn't really fit the usual pattern of elf names).
(*) single "ll"? double "l"? half "llll"? two-thirds of "lll"?
-
I got 15 out of 30 by blindly answering "drug" to every one of them
-
21/30. I think that's pretty good for only having seen one of the films and and having read just a fragment of The Hobbit.
-
@TimeBandit I blindly answered 'elf' to all of them and got 14.
-
25 out of 30

15 + 14 = 30 ???
-
@masonwheeler Only if you assume a static test.
-
@boomzilla Oooo... that's tricky.

That's perfectly valid maffs, that is.

@boomzilla 26 of 30. I have never read Unfinished Tales.
Other than that, use of X, CH, or Z is a dead giveaway. Too unbeautiful for an elf.

Could be worse. I have never ever seen any of the Star Wars.*
*Well. I remember having seen one scene before switching to another channel; it had desert in it. Got bored after 10 seconds.
