(Reuters) - A new theory that Leonardo's "Last Supper" might hide within it a depiction of Christ blessing the bread and wine has triggered so much interest that Web sites connected to the picture have crashed.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2007/07/27/us-italy-lastsupper-theory-idUSL2779072020070727

It can be Jesus Christ.

I am using double meanings for "hide within". It is a very possible answer.

Also, there is no other pic of a table in that thread.

the twelfth apostle on the last supper painting is supposed to be Simon
the only apostle with a 12 letter name is Judas Iskariot
'thinking back is hard' hmm ... supposed to have happened in the year 33. Painted by Leonardo Da vincy between 1494 and 1498 according to wikipedia

i'm clueless and my head hurts Cheesy

Jesus?

I was thinking more along the lines of the Cheshire Cat .

Didn't he "hide within" the Alice in Wonderland story?

Another possibility would be "imagination".  Wasn't the Alice in Wonderland story largely about accepting the imaginary ideas we posses within ourselves with out needing to apply logic or forcing ourselves to be realistic?

Maybe... but for some reason he put the image of the painting (as Cluehehe). Everything is so confusing Huh Grin

Ah, You're right!

I hadn't even noticed that the user ID for that post was "clue".

Okay so the painting appears to be the clue that is "hidden within" the thread that we need to "find".

Now that we've found the clue hidden within the thread we need to figure out what the painting of The Last Supper has to do with the number 12 and the new clue: "Thinking back is hard".

There were 12 apostles correct?

I can't remember who the 12th apostle was. I'm not sure that that matters though.

Perhaps we only need to "think back" to the first puzzle. There are typically 12 numbers on a clock right? Also in the first puzzle the number 12 would have represented the letter 'F'

Was there an apostle whose name started with the F?

Nope.  No apostles that start with 'F' (at least not in the english translations):

  • Simon Peter
  • James the Greater
  • John
  • Andrew
  • Philip
  • Thomas
  • Bartholomew
  • Matthew
  • James the Lesser
  • Simon the Zealot
  • Thaddaeus-Judas
  • Judas Iscariot
  • Matthias (Replacement for Judas Iscariot, chosen by the remaining 11)

Ok. let it be some topic number between 759206 and 880175.
It could be the average topic 819791 or some topic started by the same author, for example this one.
Both are quite miningless:)
It also could be the average topic started by author, but it´s hard to find it. May be in those topic he sold the table or something like that.

I understand that my answer is wrong, but it can help somebody to find the right one:)

I think level3 answer is 'wood' of which the table is made.It's like gold that is within in an ornament.
Or I may be wrong.

Off topic

Seeing the amount of interpretations I could think for text "NBFHe0C" and the previous, I propose the following:

From a sufficiently random thing, you can get infinite answer, so many that will blow your mind.


Returning to the puzzle. Go ahead DannyHamilton, I think you're right. I look at you from here Grin

Oxygen?

It has to be oxygen.
"NBFHe0C"
N = Nitrogen
B = Boron
F = Fluorine
He = Helium
C = Carbon
0 = Missing = Oxygen (is among them in the periodic table)

If the 0 is just a 0, and the rest are elements on the periodic "table", then we get 759206.
If the 0 is Oxygen, then we get 759286.

Are either of those numbers meaningful?

If the 0 is Oxygen, then we get 759286.

Are either of those numbers meaningful?

Note that the original clue (which was announced to accidentally be "wrong" did not have any lower case 'e'.  In that case, it would seem that 'H' would be hydrogen, except that there aren't any elements that are simply represented by a capital 'E'.  If we assume that the "wrong" clue meant for HE to be helium, and we assume that 0 is just a 0, then the original "wrong" clue would have ended up with: 880262

Interestingly, all of these are 6 digit numbers (759206, 759286, and 880262).  Of this list of numbers, 759206 seems most likely to be correct, but I'm not sure what meaning that number carries.

I'm also noticing that only the single digit elements were used (for example Re could have been used instead of NB).  This would explain why a 0 needs to be used, since there is no element with an atomic number of 0.  This would seem to imply that each number stands on its own.  Perhaps it is 6 single digit numbers rather than a single 6 digit number? 7,5,9,2,0, & 6
