Handedness is important, no question, but it’s also important to check the visible pocket landscape to see if there’s an obvious spot it’s sticking out, and, of course, to grasp the psychology of the situation, and assess his demeanor and potential tells about its location.
I’d slit his damn throat and check all the pockets for the ring. Stupid Hobbit.
@cinoclav
yes, Precious!
None of them. He is wearing it on a chain around his neck
@tinamarie1974 Wasn’t that Frodo
@ThomasF yyyeesssss
Rip off the cargo shorts.
Maybe Bilbo slips on the Ring and becomes difficult to find.
Lunge at him and see which pocket he grabs
Nah, the pockets are the distraction, filled with $7 titanium rings
@dwileyjr344 I think you meant 50 for $5 “fidget spinners”.
He wouldn’t use a pants pocket to begin with, but if he did, it would be mad to not use the watch pocket.
I say that the tricksy little hobbits’s put in in their prison pocket. If it’s a riddle that is the most logically illogical choice.

@jitc
Is that your precious in your pocket or are you just glad to see me??
Tricksy Hobbit stole the Precious, we doesn’t have to play his game by his rules.
He gives it all away; the answer is he picks the pocket that has the Precious in it now!
At the beginning of The Hobbit, Bilbo protests that he is not a thief, but when he leaves Smeagol’s cave, he is one.
