I assume you haven't read the books. Gollum's ring is the One Ring, forged by Sauron to enslave all of Middle-earth. It is a thing of great evil power. The Dark Lord made it along with the nine rings given to the Men, three to the Elves, and the seven for the dwarfs. Sauron made his to control them all. An example of this dark power is the conversion of the nine kings of Man into the nine Ringwraiths.

The Ring gives long life to its bearer, like it did to Bilbo, and it makes the person invisible when they put it on. But that turns them little by little into a creature of darkness.

I hope this helped! And if you haven't done so already, read the books! :)

How does Gollum lose The Ring - Bilbo stumbles upon it but if it was so precious why did Gollum not have it with him or if he was hiding it- why was he hiding it?

I believe Gollum was wearing The Ring, using it to catch a stray goblin off its guard for something other than fish to eat and The Ring slipped off his finger without him realizing it. In Gollum's own words, "How did we lose it, my precious? Yes, that's it. When we came this way last, when we twisted that nassty young squeaker. That's it. Curse it! It slipped from us, after all these ages and ages! It's gone, gollum." It is a magical ring, remember, with almost a mind of its own.


How does gollum guess that Bilbo has his ring in hobbit?

Bilbo and Gollum enter into a riddle game. While trying to think of a riddle, Bilbo is fiddling around in his pocket, and he happens to feel the ring he had just picked up. He didn't think much about picking it up, so, while, trying to come up with a riddle, he mumbled, "What do I have in my pocket?" In spite of this not being a proper riddle for the riddle game, Gollum accepted it and asked for and received 3 tries to answer it. He failed, then went back to get the ring from where he thought he'd hidden it (actually, it had fallen off without his noticing). When he saw the ring was gone and remembered Bilbo's odd question, he put 2 and 2 together and deduced Bilbo had the ring in his pocket.I believe it was when Bilbo couldn't come up with a riddle, so he thought out loud the question: "What have I got in my pocket?" After Gollum realized he didn't have his ring, he then supposed that it was, indeed, in Bilbo's pocket.Because Gollum found him and would not tell him the way out until Bilbo gave him the Ring and Bilbo would not give him the ring untless he answered the riddles correctly.Gollum and bilbo have a game of riddles, bilbo asks, "what have I got in my pockets?" He gives Gollum 3 guesses, and gollum guesses all three wrongGollum asks Bilbo what he does have in his pocket, and bilbo refuses to tell him, multiple timesGollum discovers HE, (himself), has lost the ring and goes into a state of panic. Gollum then remembers the riddle, "What do I have in my pocket?" and after guessing wrong he assumes it's the ring, and gollum tries to attack BilboHope this helpedJackI believe it was when Bilbo couldn't come up with a riddle, so he thought out loud the question: "What have I got in my pocket?"

In Chapter 5 of 'The Hobbit' what was Gollum's birthday present and why was it so important?

It was the One Ring. His cousin Deagol found it in the bottom of the river Anduin and Smeagol (Gollum) killed him for it. One of the justifications was that it was his birthday and it was a present for him. The Ring is important because it is the pivotal reason for the entire book: the re-emergence and ultimate destruction of the Ring.The way that Gollum came by the Ring is also important: because the Ring came to him by evil means, it corrupted Gollum that much easier. In the end, Gollum's complete corruption and lust for the Ring was what (ironically) saved Middle-Earth.
