	should accept 'orthanc' for isengard

	Nice! Two thoughts: you should probably accept "Orthanc" as an alternate answer for "Isengard", and you might want to consider allowing "Laurelindorenan" for "Lothlorien" (though it's admittedly unlikely that anyone will ever be able to come up with the one but not the other).

	Some might dispute the right to accept Orthanc. Strictly speaking, the tower alone is Orthanc, while the whole of the "stronghold" is known as Isengard. That being said...the first thing I typed as an answer was Orthanc.

	I never, ever, say this, but--the time could be cut back a little.

	I believe Chocolatl is right in that one probably does not need 10 minutes to complete this. Furthermore, you should probably accept Greenwood as an alternate answer for Mirkwood. Very well done though!

	Kudos for accepting Hornburg, as Helm's Deep is actually only a small part of the fortress. I'd rather Helm's Deep was an alternate for Hornburg, but there are some things one can't expect in this life. ;) I suggest accepting Minas Ithil for Minas Morgul, seeing as you brought up the former Gondorian rule it was the first thing that came to mind. I also second the request for Greenwood, that'd make my day. One other small suggestion, play with the column ratio a bit in the style tag, it'd be much more readable if the extra info (third) column wasn't so thin, forcing one word per line and a great deal of vertical stretching.
