Can someone with PhD in statistics calculate what are the exact odds of ring falling just the perfect way to land on Frodo's finger?

Op. Magic. Prophecy. Stop thinking so much.

you dont need a phd in statistics, you just have to know how to screenwrite

about 7

Considering the ring has the ability to move itself, pretty high.

He did the math

That ring was magic and wanted to fall on his finger. Using real world science to explain that would be a waste of time.

It's extremely likely.

t. bsc in maths

No. Aerodynamics wise I don't think rings typically fall like that though if you're looking for more shitty thread material though

dude! just switch your brain off lmao

This. The Ring has a will and magic of its own.

While you're at it, ask why the ring never bounces when it falls. It always lands like it weighs a ton.

fiddy fiddy

You clearly don't know how magnets work

100%

He was reaching for it so he had a decent chance.

t. aerospace engineer, but you don't need a degree you just need to watch the fucking movie

>Dude lmao you must be dumb for not thinking into a scene that's specifically been set up just for effect/cinematography.

If the ring has a mind of its own, then why didn’t it just find its own way to mount doom?

Can somebody please explain to me the deal with Bombadil?
He puts on the ring, does a little dance and a big hammy laugh, then hands it back to Frodo before going off to fuck his hot river-wife.

It did

>god
>enigma
>witch king

pick one

but it did

Dumbest poster itt

Seriously. The magic ring is using people to return to its master.

not even memeing but... what?

It's fucking magic. Read the book or even watch the movies. The ring is magic and has a will of its own.

If the ring could alter its size why didn't it grow to be so colossal that Sauron could see it from Barad-ur?

Is LOTR the greatest trilogy of all time?
The opening to FotR still give me fucking chills. youtube.com/watch?v=h99SMFWk9DA

how can you be this much of a retard
you asked
>If the ring has a mind of its own, then why didn’t it just find its own way to mount doom?
what happens in the FUCKING movie?
they go into mount doom
with the FUCKING ring

Gladriel said In the prolouge, the ring wants to be found. It's the will of sauron

why didnt they just bring the ring to the undying lands?

But thats not the rings doing though, and i didn't ask the question

wrong link shit

I unironically have a degree in maths and I can tell you that it's 50:50, it either falls onto the finger or it doesn't QED

I would have argued the original star wars was the best trilogy but having witnessed disney rape it to a husk, I'll agree...

>But thats not the rings doing though
Isn't it?

the ring is literally partly sauron himself

the ring doesn't have any legs, it can't walk all the way over there
the ring knew that to return to its master it needed Frodo to take it to him

>FUCKING
You need to calm down before things get out of hand

It was a graveyard's math!

The same as you leaving the basement and getting your shit together

1 hole
1 finger
100% chance

NEXT

No, it wasnt

but in that case you're attributing powers of cause and effect to the ring since no one could have forseen the outcome of elronds council or the several factors that lead upto (and preceded) that moment

the ring wants to return back to Sauron, not Mt Doom you fucking retards.

For God's sake
This is your brain on video games

It would have ended up with Sauron if not for Aragorn personally showing up as sacrifice diverting Sauron's attention.

I might have worded that poorly, the ring didn't necessarily needed FRODO to take it into mordor, that's what ends up happening in the movie, but what you said were to happen, the ring would just go to someone who would do just that, elrond's council-approved or not.
The ring sensed that sauron woke up, so his time with gollum was over, it passed on to Bilbo, and then went to Frodo, and it could've passed to somebody else if that meant going back to his master

thanks for playing

this

The rings plan was to get discovered, bilbo finding it was never its plan or desired host as it delayed its journey to get back to sauron. Frodo (or anyone) taking the ring to mordor would also be undesirable

Quite literally, God did it.

Even that wasn’t enough. It would’ve ended up with Sauron if not for Iluvatar pushing Gollum to a lava chasm.

depends on how much spin it had before falling

>Frodo (or anyone) taking the ring to mordor would also be undesirable

It's absolutely desirable to Sauron that the ring finds its way back to Mordor. It had a built-in failsafe that it insta-corrupted and ringbearer instantly if they entered Mount Doom, so they would lose the will to destroy it and want it for themselves. It happened to Isildur and Frodo both. What the Ring couldn't influence is another ringbearer who would fight the current one for it. And so the power to corrupt was its own undoing. Thankfully Gollum has such butterfingers.

100%, because the ring wanted to.

that's not how it happened at all though. You forgot the part where Tom uses the ring as a cockring while fucking all of his hot river wife's holes and hands it back to frodo covered in cum and she juice

the truth, it either lands on his finger or it doesn't hence: fiddy fiddy

This. The ring willed Frodo to catch it on his finger.

Why didn't it stop itself falling into the hot water then?

The ring expected a similar action to the previous attempt to destroy it.

Have not read the books, but that seems like fairly straight-forward reasoning.

Along the lines of closer you are, the stronger the effects of the ring.

What

Now that we have some years for hype and everything to wear off, and for any cringey contemporary/pop influences to be made more obvious, YES- LOTR IS NOW THE BEST TRILOGY. it is more consistent, thoughtful, and entertaining than star wars. Lotr is what every great movie should be.

Its 50/50. It was either gona happen in that moment, or it wasn't . End thread.

God those books/movies are so good

what was the ring's opinion on the ale prices in the prancing pony? where they fair?

Why didn't they just hyperspace ram the ring?

>t-they come in pints??

As anons have said, the Ring DID get back to Mt. Doom... by letting people carry it. The rings entire game was waiting + fucking with the bearer. It wanted to get back to Sauron ASAP but could also afford to wait; when the riders weren't able to get it, it just waited until Frodo would carry it back to it's master. A plan that would have *worked* if Gollum hadn't sperged out and bitten off Frodo's finger trying to get it for itself.

the ring doesn't move itself....where the fuck did you get that idea? the only thing it can do is expand or shrink. when the movie said it "abandoned gollum" what that meant was it slipped off his finger

The plan did work except for literal God stepping in

where they fair? WTF

in pleb terms bombadil is a being from another dimension who isnt affected by the dimensional boundaries of middle earth. he puts on the ring and it does nothing to him because his very being is incompatible with the ring.
