Two 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.

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.
About 15 years ago for me and I got 23/24. I guess YMMV.
My consoling idea is that the medical big brother establishment lizards are huge Tolkien fans
