Two corrections to the questions for "F" and "T":
F: Finwë's first-born son was Fëanor, not Fingolfin. Fingolfin was the first-born son of Indis (Finwë's second wife) but Finwë's second son.
T: Túrin Turambar was a lord serving in the armies of a couple of Elf-kings but he himself was a Man, not an Elf-lord.
Great quiz, though.
Thanks, again.
