And TIME!!!


Thank you all for playing! I hope you had fun! Even though I realize there were a couple of hiccups and internet speed was an issue. If you have have an ideas to improve the next match, I’m all ears!

Also, we’re the questions too difficult, too easy, etc? I’m at your service!

P.S. I’ll add up the points once I’m on a computer and not on my phone!

P.S.S. The day of the week question required reading in two spots. When the great goblin asks who are these miserable persons, one of the drivers tell him they found them sheltering on the front porch. After they all meet up in the woods, Gandalf mentions losing track of time inside the goblin tunnels and that it was Monday night or Tuesday morning when they were captured.

That was exceptionally fun. Except for the Front Door Q, they were all of sufficient difficulty. I didn't even know days of the week got referenced in the Hobbit.
