Geocache Description:

The 5th in a series of caches based on the Fellowship theme, from JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings.

This one tests your knowledge of the story, as told in its written form by Tolkein. This is in the spirit of the Doors of Durin, which also required the solving of a puzzle to get them to open.

For each question, identify the correct answer. Note the corresponding numbers. The first two numbers are the correct last two digits of the Latitude. The last two numbers are the correct last two digits of the Longitude.

This cache also has a special first finder item -- ANOTHER Hikemeister stone with a Fellowship theme.

If the same person finds all three of these stones, I will make him / her a 4th special "trilogy" first finder stone.
