Abstract

In "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers", Legolas claims that the yellow haired riders he described are a little more than five leagues away. We have found that for him to be able to see a yellow wavelength at a distance of five leagues, Legolas would have to be at a height of 44.1 m, and his pupil dilation to be 8.47 mm.
