1. What Hobbit was called "muddy feet" by Tom Bombadil?
I'm going to guess... Sam

2. Name the Hobbit who invented the game of golf, and explain how he did it.
"Bullroarer" Took used a club to knock off the head of the goblin king Golfimbul and it rolled down a rabbit hole. Battle of the Green Fields, I think.

3. What was it that the Took family usually hushed up?
The Tooklings who went away and had adventures and were never seen again.

4. Give the name of a Shire firm of auctioneers.
Grub, Grub and Burrows

5. Which Hobbit families lived in Tightfield?

6. To whom did Bilbo leave an empty bookcase, and why?
Hugo Bracegirdle, because he borrowed books and never returned them. He ought to have been left something nasty.

7. Who was called Cock-Robin, and what was his duty when Frodo and Sam returned to the Shire?
Robin Goodfellow, a Shirrif.

8. What was Tunnelly?

9. What was the Hobbitish nickname for "stay at home"?


10. Give the village and area of the Eastfarthing where the Bolger family lived.
Crickhollow, perhaps?

I think I flunk this one. Oh well :)
