Your rank: Bilbo Baggins
Well done - You are a very smart one indeed (14 of 23 correct)

Some tricky questions there... I ended up having to take vaguely educated guesses at most.

I expected to do better since I just started Return of the King the other day. Apparently I need to pay better attention to the details.

Gandalf the White - 21 out of 23

Only ones I got wrong were what type of chain Gloin was wearing and which Ents are the tallest. Considering I've read the books multiple times, I wasn't expecting any less :).

Rank: Farmer Maggot (2/23)

Apparently, it helps if you have at least some knowledge of the books and/or movies. :)

Bah.

11/23, Gaffer Gamgee.

Apparently I enjoyed the books, but committed little to memory. Time to read them again anyway.
