Ok, time for the next Quiz. As with last week, 10 questions. You answer a question right, you get a point. Person with the most points wins. The answers will be below a page break, so I'd advise viewing this post through the blog front page so as you don't get spoiler when you view the later questions.

Moderator Note: Do I really have to put in the main post NOT TO PUT ANSWERS IN THE COMMENTS. Just put your score. Oh and Skoul, fyi you only got 4 points (5 and 6 were right and obviously you got 2 of the wizards)
Hmm, I think I just posted without logging in so it was me, not a pretender.
Sorry! *looks at floor* I got 4
I got 7, (2 and 3, 2 of 9, and 3 of 10)
8, but it took my Tolkien nerdery to save me.
@Lime- Did you get all 5 then? If so I’m very very impressed.
8 as well. I had to rely on the Watchmen question to bolster my score though. (Questions 5, 5 out of 6 in 9, 3 out of 5 for 10).
Zowie. I’m not a very good geek. I don’t know most of these. Some of it is my memory problems–
I messed up two of the three wizard names I remembered. Couldn’t remember NG’s narrator’s name tho I read that just last year. I remembered some of the phoenix’s namesakes story, and had the wrong name! I got a ‘one.’
My score is 3 (would have been 2 if I had not seen The Hobbit two weeks ago on TV).
…but Pokemon? C’mon, really?
@Legatus- Problem? My quiz, my questions, my rules.
5, but I admit I had to look up Picard’s birthday
Ten, but dong all the Charleton/Watchmen as separate points is kinda a gimme. Which books name the 4th and 5th Istari? I’ve never run across that before.
@Bael- The Unfinished Tales (the first two names) and The Peoples Of Middle Earth (the second two).
Thanks JR.
Hey JR, your quiz, your rules. No problem!
