Tolkien Jeopardy!

What is metal armour?

Nope. Not metal armour. But, I'm curious why you think that may be connected to the East farthing.

Here's a hint: There are two possible answers here. One helps you get into something and the other helps you get out of something.

[kittykatt]

'Twas just a wild guess, basically..thinking about the Stoor boots,& our Middle Ages, so...

[kittykatt]

Now you REALLY have me curious!!!

[Laubgaenger]

A Shoehorn?

[Boraxxe]

A Shoehorn?

Yes Laubgaenger.
But you did not put your answer into the form of a question.
Like this: What is a shoehorn?
I'll let that slide for today.

The preferred answer is Shoehorn, though I would also have accepted Bootjack.

A shoehorn helps you get into your footwear.
A bootjack helps you get out of your footwear.

Only in the Eastfarthing are hobbits known to wear boots or shoes (muddy conditions).

Both were first utilized in our middle-ages.

Grats!
You have the Jeopardy! Jacket.

Tolkien Jeopardy! Update: Rules…

From the original post:

This works like all of the other Tolkien Trivia threads except that there are no limits on the number of words (unlike One-word, Two-word and Three-word Trivia) AND you have to submit the answer in the form of a question.

So the only category in this form of Jeopardy! is Tolkien published stuff.

There will be no limits on what is allowed except that the answers have to be something written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, and there should only be ONE possible answer.
Movie stuff, audio stuff or any other adaptation stuff cannot be used. Only stuff (prose and poetry) actually written by JRRT. Christopher's published stuff works, because he is basically an editor of JRRT and he published no original material (that I am aware of).

And…

Simple spelling errors should not matter.
Other rules may be needed, but I hope we can get by with this minimal amount.

I have found a reason to add another rule (actually, this is more of a rule change).
It has become apparent that some folks are not Jeopardy! fanatics and sometimes forget to phrase their answer in the "form of a question".

Here is an example.
Answer: A Shoehorn?
That is not what would be considered "exactly" correct.
The "exactly correct" answer should have been: "What is a Shoehorn?"

But I think it will be considered "close enough" for our game.
So, here is a new rule:

If the answer has a question mark at the end, it will be considered to be in the "form of a question".

So, there ya go.
If anyone has a suggestion for other rule changes just let me know and we will hash it out.

Who is Frodo? I believe Frodo spills less blood in the tale than anyone, I think the only two strikes recorded by Frodo are against a Barrow-Wight in the Barrow-Downs, and sticking Sting into a troll's foot in the chamber of Mazarbul.
