Here's the answer to the riddle I posted where each line works out to be an anagram. The last line of the riddle asks for someone's name but whose?The Mona Lisa was apparently stolen in 1911 by a former Louvre employee. He was eventually found out but when he tried to ransom the painting he used the alias Leonardo Vincenzo. The thief's real name (Fair and truest me) was Vincenzo Peruggia. Probably shouldn't have used an alias that used part of his real nameNom alias = Mona Lisa
Fail a heist = Thief Alias
Fair 'n truest me = True First Name
Anyone know any really good anagrams? Email me here

Here is another word puzzle. A little easier than the last one but still fun.
As you admire the artwork in the Denon Wing in the Louvre, you notice a stranger who sits and sketches the masterpieces. When he leaves, you see that he left his sketchpad behind. Overcome by your curiosity, you cannot help but take a peek. The pages are mysteriously blank, except for one, where he has left this riddle: Seek the site beneath the smile Stay on the shoulder Find the curator's command
What is the command?
To help you solve the puzzle, you may need to use the following:
1) A ticket to the Louvre
2) Your eye for detail
3) Your laptop computer
Good luck

The Riddle below is a tough one. I figured I would throw you a hint.
The text written on the back of your ticket stub is an anagram for
Mona Lisa
Thief Alias
True First Name
see if that helps you out a bit.

I am a sucker for word puzzles. Here is one that I worked on for quite a bit. Let me know if you can figure this out
You arrive at the Louvre, pay 8.5 euros for your ticket, and enter. You spend the day viewing perhaps the greatest collection of art the world has to offer. On the way back to your hotel, you examine your only souvenir of this amazing day, your ticket stub.
Written on the back is the puzzle:
Nom alias
Fail a heist
Fair 'n truest me
