Geocache Description:

Cache is in a busy area. It is a magnetic key box. Usual urban cache rules apply

This is the fifth cache (and first multi-cache)in a series of caches I am loosely basing on the JRR Tolkien book "The Hobbit" AKA "There And Back Again"
Each Cache in this series will contain a clue that will be necessary to have in order to find a future cache. (designated by a multi-cache icon) It will be beneficial to write down each clue as you find the cache and keep it for future use. I hope to avoid patterns which will make future caches predictable. As all caches are found (not necessarily in order) the clues in them will ultimately lead to a final cache. Remember the placement of these caches is based on my intrepretation of the book -and having to work within the limitations and my knowledge of the local area. I will give a general clue for each cache based on the story.

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE LOCATION.

See below for how to use clues from previous cashes to find this cache.

Bilbo and the dwarves have been captured by goblins. Bilbo is separated from the rest during an escape and is wandering in Goblin tunnels under the mountain when he meets Gollum. Bilbo and Gollum have a riddle contest and that's where this cache's story clues come from.
Answer these questions about Gollum's answers to Bilbo's riddles about teeth to find the area of this cache.
1. What was Gollum's first response?
2. How many teeth does Gollum have?
