I'm afraid not.
I think that at this point, Marcho, you would be more than valid in posing a new question if you should so desire.

Alright, the reference I had in mind was:
"The first we heard of it was a noise like a hurricane coming from the North, and the pine-trees on the Mountain creaking and cracking in the win."
~Thorin's description of the day Smaug came.
I figured that hurricanes, which were evidently known phenomena, ranked as more extreme than anything else. My fault for an ambiguous question.

oooooh! I see. Good one TL! There was no hurricane, but the Drwarves knew of them. Thus the question, What is the most extreme weather which we know existed[i] in ME?

Well, on that happy note, we can all settle back and wait for the next Marcho Blackwood question!

Okay, since no one jumped in while I was gone:

Fili and Kili -- fiddles
Dori, Nori, and Ori -- flutes
Bombur -- drum
Bifur and Bofur -- clarinets
Dwalin and Balin -- viols
Thorin -- harp
Oin and Gloin -- uhh, no instruments (perhaps they played their tinderboxes) ![[]](icon10.gif)
And let's not forget the two golden harps that Fili and Kili jammed on while chillin' in the lonely mountain.
DISCLAIMER:
(I just went over these instruments and their reflection of the characters with my students the other day, so they were kind of fresh on my mind)

And that covers the specifically named musicians! There is also the music at lake town, the elven harps in the woods that led them astray, and the music played by the dwarves and elves prior to the Battle of the Five Armies.

What were the names of the elf-swords the dwarves found in the trolls' cave, and who took each one?
I know this is dead easy, but I can't think of anything better.

Glamdring was taken by Gandalf.
Orcrist was taken by Thorin.
A small, apparently unnamed one was taken by Bilbo.

This is a question which requires reference to LotR, as well as TH:
Upon what day of the week did they depart from Rivendell?

There were 12 dwarves wandering around, and only ONE synonym for drunkard was used? Isn't "Dwarf" a synonym for drunkard?
o.O
meh.
Of course that's my opinion.
The word with the most recorded synonyms is "Inebriated" (drunk)
2,456 at my last count. mwahah.

Well, it's been more than a day, so I'm going to throw a new question into the mix. Maybe not a very hard one.
After finding the dwarves' letter on his mantel, when was the next time Bilbo took it out of his pocket?
Have a nice weekend, campers. It's Saturday in Hong Kong already.

The only time I can think of is when he's talking to Bard, and he goes on about the profits, and says that Thorin will be quite happy to starve himself to death.

As I have nothing better to offer at the present time, let us return to my previous question, which remains unanswered:
Upon what day of the week (by Bilbo's reckoning) did the dwarves leave Rivendell?
I would remind you that to answer this, you may well need to consult The Lord of the Rings.
