See, that’s what I wanted … having fun with this …
alas … there’s only one point left to be given … about riddle 8
make haste, pleaseDecember 20, 2009 at 4:21 pm #8419I believe Master Tree that you are 47 springs young and Master Tubb not becoming 40 until Jan.1 2010 that would make you eight years his senior.
December 20, 2009 at 4:26 pm #8420Rhuoommm … need help those riddelers meseems … there’s only one number to pass on …
I already gave away one point for Master Rita.de for the last riddle. But I didn’t tell why, did I?
Of course I didn’t.
Come on, please the last point has to be given today, as there’s a very close finish at the moment.
Alas in case of a draw I will have to think about more prizes … some that are worth being called prizes … rhuooommm … ahhh, no problem … I found some …December 20, 2009 at 4:34 pm #842147 you youngblood said? … I wish I was …
8 years younger or older than The Man?
nay … wrong answer … sorry
have another tryDecember 20, 2009 at 4:35 pm #842250 Master Theobald
39 The ManDecember 20, 2009 at 4:42 pm #8423this is what had announced as a lottery … though my last plans had to be cancelled …
(By the by Master Erchamion was completely wrong)December 20, 2009 at 4:42 pm #8424Sorry to tell you, Master Theobald, but if I count correctly I have got TWO humble points: For riddle 4 (Frumgar) and for riddle 8 . . . :rolleyes:
The differnce: I am not the last one . . .December 20, 2009 at 4:45 pm #8425It is very difficult. Nobody knows exactly the years that may have an Ent. Yourself can´t be agreed. I think that even old Tom Bombadil couldn´t say anything about it ….:lol::lol::lol:
December 20, 2009 at 4:46 pm #8426This is the easiest of my last Christmas riddles … you just have to fill in a number and there’s the point. That’s all this is about.
December 20, 2009 at 4:47 pm #8427My last try should be this: Both, Master Theobald and the Man got the same age: 39 !
But only in the case, Master Regalrick was right with his assumption of The Man´s age . . . otherwise there wasn´t a point for myself . . .
39! Puhhh, can this be true . . .December 20, 2009 at 4:58 pm #8428Sorry, Master Rita.de … rhuoommm … I keep record about all this.
You received that first point for the chain at the staff of the axe. After that you had the second point for riddle 8. But so far I didn’t tell why you reveived that last point, as the riddle is not solved yet. Of course you can be sure that your second point is marked here. But reveiling your correct answer might have spoiled the rest of the riddle. Sorry, but you see that I did not forget that point for youDecember 20, 2009 at 5:00 pm #8429I will try again Master Theobald as your youthful good looks may have tricked my bloodshot eyes (too much time drinking at the Pony)I guess you are both 57 years young
December 20, 2009 at 5:02 pm #8430Same age is correct still … rhuoommm … that’s why you received your point … right?
December 20, 2009 at 5:08 pm #8431You still have some green shoots and young behind what seem ears….some younger…. both 53?
December 20, 2009 at 6:06 pm #8434Younger than ever … but I just witnessed that Master Tubb is about a year older than me …tree
yes some green shoots I will have next year, Master Erchamion, yes indeed …
53 is a nice number …
Well,as for the question about the difference between me and The Man I always thought that we were born in the same year … so I was close answering that riddle myself.
Let’s leave the point to Master Rita.de. , as he was closest.
But what about my age ? … that’s the last point to give away.
Just seen that very old photo I provide here … do you think he’s older than me?

December 20, 2009 at 6:13 pm #8436The Dark Lord mentioned if you want to know the true age of a tree that there is something about counting its Rings.He’s always mumbling something about rings.
December 20, 2009 at 6:17 pm #8437Don´t trust the Dark Lord ever! To count the rings of a tree must first cut it ….
I prefer to be guided by the green shoots¿55?
December 20, 2009 at 6:50 pm #8438nice guesses … apart from those suggestions about cutting a tree or trusting a Dark Lord … so far none were right … and as for them green shoots, Master Erchamion, I recall “The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation” by Lynne Truss … rhuoomm … the title is
‘Eats Shoots and Leaves’ (which is the Panda bear,of course).December 20, 2009 at 6:57 pm #8439Ah … why was I starting me second last entry with the words “Younger than ever…” There’s a sketch in which it was not Master Winterbottom saying this. But who said this?
(Of course no point for this riddle in case you can answer this question) -
