	The movies kept leading me astray by trying to guess Bormomir and Faramir and forgetting Tom Bombadil. Nice quick quiz, probably a bit too much time though

	I'm wondering how many bonuses there are? I got Gandalf, but is that it?

	Good guess remembering Celebrimor, but he only taught Sauron how to make rings of power. They collaborated on the 7 and the 9 (why Sauron had so much influence on them), the 3 Celebrimor alone knew of/made and the One Sauron made in Mordor.

	And Boromir and Faramir both touched it in the movie. NEVER in the books. The only reason I remembered Tom was because I JUST re-read "Fellowship"

	I misspelled isildur as isildor :(

	Could also have Jack Black as a bonus answer. Anyone who's seen it knows what I'm talking about.

	I suggest adding those who touched it in the movies as either standard or bonus answers, or change the quiz info to say it doesn't include the movies. Still, got 8 and a bonus.

	Mockenrue:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 17:37 GMT	12 points
	Nezu Chiza, the quiz is filed under "Literature" and NOT under "Movies." You should come in expecting the movies to be excluded, honestly.

	Oh, my mistake, I guess I'm just like most people who do quizzes on the front page without looking at the categories. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me what I should expect, Mockenrue. Thanks for the info, and Happy Thanksgiving!

	I can only assume you support my idea of making them bonus answers, by the way. :)

	Actually in the movie both Faramir and Boromir never touched it. Boromir picked it up in the snow by the chain and it never shows him touching the ring, it only shows him holding its chain. Also, Faramir never touches the ring but in the movie he touches the chain with his sword.

	Fun quiz! I kept thinking, "Oh, you know, the guy who cut the ring from Sauron's finger! What the @#$% is his name?!" Never would've come up with it on my own, but as soon as it was revealed, I slapped my forehead in recognition. Also: Even though I tried Faramir and Boromir, I would've been pretty cheesed if they were answers, since the books don't have them touching the ring. Glad to see they weren't there. :-)

	@#$! Deagol - he made me miss one. I kinda want to drown him now.

	Disclaimer:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 21:39 GMT	8 points
	I'm sure I"m just forgetting this, but why is Galdalf a bonus? I seem to remember him actively avoiding touching it...

	@ disclaimer: Gandalf threw the ring in the fire. Well the envelope it was in: so Gandalf picked up the ring, but didnt touched it, bonus enough to me

	Tommm bombbadil...if you only watched the movies...he got you.

	Gimli hits it with an axe (at least in the movie, can't for the life of me remember from the book). Possible bonus answer? Depends how strict you want to be.
