Aug 13, 2020 at 9:39 comment added einpoklum So, 1. Devise plan to get treasure. 2. Execute plan. ... in programming language, we call this "lazy evaluation".
Aug 11, 2020 at 23:35 comment added SusanW @IanBush Just as well step 1 wasn't "Collect underpants". It would have been quite a different story...
Aug 11, 2020 at 18:46 comment added chepner @IanBush If he's being honest with himself, I very much doubt he would have accepted anything less than 3) Kill Smaug or die trying. I can't imagine him being able to leave again, having returned to his "rightful" home, knowing that Smaug still lived.

Aug 11, 2020 at 12:45 comment added chepner They had step 1 down. By the time they had arrived, steps 2, 3, and 4 had pretty much been delegated to Bilbo.
Aug 11, 2020 at 12:42 comment added chepner @TheLethalCarrot This is a metaplan, a plan for making plans :)
Aug 11, 2020 at 7:38 comment added TheLethalCarrot If step 0 is plan making and step 3 is make a few plans then surely they had a plan? They just didn’t have the full plan yet.
Aug 11, 2020 at 6:48 comment added Levi C. Olson Do you have any evidence that he didn't have a plan?
