#that defeats the purpose

HC: The Fellowship played a game on their journey to pass the time called “how old is it.” The game goes like this: someone throws out a number, and then everyone else has to rate that age in terms of maturity, life stage, etc. Gandalf rates every number “child.” Aragorn threw out “430” at one point and Boromir, way out of his depth and with a confused glance towards Legolas, cautiously rated it “Venerable and wise.” The hobbits promptly rated it “Dead.”
