I don't think this teaser was so good, because not everybody (like me!) know the Testament.
In what Bible? Those aren't the books of the old testament in my Bible, but then my isn't an apocryphal bible or whatever you said. Weird.
Wow! Difficult, but good. Thanks.
The Apocrypha are books of the Old Testament included in Roman Catholic and Orthodox Bibles as deuterocanonical (added to the earlier canon), but excluded from the Hebrew Bible and from most Protestant Bibles. It is not certain why the term apocrypha (hidden things) was originally applied to them, but they were considered less authoritative than the other biblical books because of their relatively late origin (c. 300 BC - AD 100). The Apocrypha are important sources for Jewish history and religious developments in the 1st and 2nd centuries BC. In 1546 at the Council of Trent, the Roman Catholic Church declared this set of scriptures/books to be sacred and canonical. NRSV in the heading stands for the 'New Revised Standard Version' edition of the Bible in which you will locate these additional books. (I sometimes like to place the hint in the heading).
I hope this helps.
