#13The wonderful McSweeney's Internet Tendency [0] has a lot of this type of humour.

#14If you’ve read The Silmarillion it’s not too difficult, as Elvish names have common construction patterns and sounds.
I’ve read the Silmarillion and I got 12/24. Granted, I read it about 25 years ago, so I probably didn’t pick up all the details of Elvish languages.

I felt bad about getting 12/24 which is basically "randomly guessing," somehow you did worse than random :D

#16Two of my favorites of this genre are "Ikea Furniture or Metal Band" and "Drug or Pokemon". I did terribly at the first one since I don't know enough metal I guess, but I aced the latter, despite realizing that "Remoraid" actually does sound more like some sort of join pain cream or something than a pokemon.

10/24. Wow. You'd think it would be hard to do worse than a coin flip. On the other hand, I guess many coin flip sets are going to end up "worse than a coin flip" :D

#18Why not both? Speedrun the damned ring back to fucking Mordor. Up yours, Sauron!

#19I never knew sildenafil (marketed as viagra) acted as an antidepressant too, lol
Yep that was the first one i slapped my forehead at missing, because I actually knew what it was but figured it must ALSO be a tolkien character since I was sure it wasn't an antidepressant.

About 15 years ago for me and I got 23/24. I guess YMMV.
