Woo. I got an email from Lewis Hamilton..and so did everyone else I'm assuming. Here it is:

[Bam]

I believe, I think, that the stolen painting is probably:

Joseph Mallord William Turner
The Red Rigi 1842
Watercolour on paper, unique
support: 305 x 458 mm
National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia: Felton Bequest, 1947

I got this information off the Tate Gallery website, not sure if that's at all relevant though

Edit: Turner did 4 paintings of this mountain, 3 finished, one was not. This is one is owned by an Australian gallery which I assume comes under the art council. Of the other 2 finished Rigi paintings the blue is owned by the Tate and the other (the Dark Rigi) by an english private collector. Which I guess means the owner of the Dark Rigi painting is the collector who set this up.. not sure how to find that though.

Loving the fact I did the game in 57 moves yet it told me on the final screen I'd done it in 12 - it's not even possible in 12 moves

I think they're teasing us with this much info so far, doesn't look like we'll get anything more from the YouTube audio. I wonder if they're testing us to see how easily we solve their puzzle and find their link... I'd like to think they are

I haven't been able t solve the security thing yet. Probably my low attention span but I keep getting kicked back to the beginning. Any suggestions?

I take it it would be poor sport to post a solution, then? ;) A walkthrough sounds like a great idea!

I like your idea about the painting being the Red Rigi, Bam. Seems like the people in the video could be referring to the Rigi's with them "looking the same"... I've seen references around to them being Turner's finest works, too, so makes sense. I can't find anything obvious out about the owner - private collector and all that... not going to dig deeper just in case the info we find isn't related to the game!!!

(Just watching F1 free practice at the moment, looks like it's going to be a fun year with the new no refuelling rule!)

Edit: New update from Anna.
Oh Anna, you made my day with that. :D I'll try not to get overconfident, I promise! ::Wiggles, but not before stretching first::.

Nice too see some of us got a mention.

I'm going to have a good google on those paintings tonight.

it also says they are logging every single little thing that we are doing. So we need to be carefull with everything we do

thought i'd better add a post in here to let the PMs know that i'm playing seeing as it looks like our usernames here are going to be used IG.

also just a quick question, by using our usernames and linking from the site to here as a discussion forum, is everyone ok with this as technically UF should be considered OOG. i have no problem with it at the moment but it may cause issues later depending on where this thing goes, what say you all?

ive just come across this secretlewis.com, and i would love to take part. a little confused though - i keep coming across stuff saying about logging in etc. how do i do this - i have been looking around the whole website, or am i too late to start? thanks for your help in advance!

Thank you! I always worry about things like that. Aaaahhhhh you may have read it in the terms and conditions, I think I remember seeing it there? Ooohh maybe there will be something log-in able at some point...

I think that's how its going to go - Anna investigates, gets stuck and asks us for help and we try and get the info she's after, ultimately helping Lewis out. In her last blog post she asked us to hang tight over the weekend so there might be an update tomorrow. It may or may not not be tied to race weekends - I hope not I want stuff to do when there's /not/ a race to watch ;D.

Gratz to Lewis on 3rd today! =]
