Hmmm, I feel like we've now fallen into the Enchanted River. I guess, since Lugbúrz has satisfied Estel, it is his prerogative to continue with Musnud's train of thought or to do something new.

We wait with bated breath. []

Bungo how about you teaching me how to word my thoughts in a way such that when you see my name on a post you will know that it's going to be most entertaining, like I do when I read yours, I almost fell right through this door when you opened it with your new one []

I am sure Musnud will be back soon, but I have a nice tough question coming up after he has matched our answers with his list

Lugburz, you got everything on my list: Eagles, Thrush, Ravens, Crows, Spiders, Wolves, Bears, and Horses (Beorn's)...

As usual, Marcho pointed out some that I missed, [] , but since Lugburz also got Estel's answer more "precisely" than I did, I believe it's his go.

A very good morning to all you eager beavers out there. I hope to stump you for a while with this one:

Who, in the regions surrounding Esgaroth, could claim to know the least about the men of Lake-town?

I'm trying to imagine someone making such a claim.

Hmmm, maybe... just maybe...

Nope. I'll get back to you. []

The dwarves of the Iron Hills? This sounds pretty feeble, even to me! Not sure I understand the question.

Nobody "makes" this claim. The answer can be inferred from a comparison of sorts.

Let me rephrase the question:
A comparison in the Hobbit indicates that the character in question can be assumed to know very little about Lake-Men, but even that knowledge is sufficient for some understanding.

I like making wild shots in the dark for some odd reason. Perhaps the Master of the Laketown?

Tenchi! Nice to see you back! Don't you leave this time.

This is a cheeky hint based on Estel's guess:
A shot in the dark will be no different from one in the light. And Bilbo is also involved... []

I guess we could say that it will be useless to guess. The answer is a creature pretty obscure, the only way you'll get it is if you get the comparison I'm talking off. Bilbo makes this comparison.

Snails ha haha hahaha []

I shouldn't have given those clues, the answer would have been given anyways. We are in for a Blackwood style question folks. Get done with your work and pick up the book!

Well, this should be fairly straightforward:

Name all the beverages in the Hobbit. I have five with an alcohol content and four without.
