What do the asterisks represent? Uncertainty in the exact value?

    I believe so. I'm sure someone might have more info, but I just searched and found that people usually give estimates for both Gandalf and Legolas.

    Gandalf is dated from embodiment. Gandalf predates the world.

    Yep. By the same token, if you did the same thing again at the end of the main events of the story, Gandalf's age would have to be listed as less than 1 year old. His mortal body perished after defeating the Balrog, but he was reimbodied.

    didn't the 5 wizards loose most of their power and memories from when they where maiar? i guess it could be the age of the mind then... gandalf didn't loose anything when he went from gray to white.
