What would have been the most efficient way to get to Mordor? To answer this, Tim Harford turns to information in the Lord of the Rings books and original documents at the Tolkien exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries in Oxford. He crunches the numbers with the help of Professor Graham Taylor of Oxford University, an expert in mathematical biology. First broadcast on More or Less, 26 August 2018.
