 		Lost Ring trivia for the final pruvo codes.
A little birdy told me that they were able to decrypt the flash file from the omphaputer, and gain access to all the pruvo codes.

And, since I don't want people continuing to take the survey over & over and over again, I have decided to have a trivia contest, pruvo code giveaway, drag this out for a week event-of-a-lifetime.

I'll give you 2 codes to start.
002V/9H6Q/V89V/F2KG/B57W
0B99/E4GV/SO42/CJ7W/O57F

Trivia Question # 1:
In what labyrinth was Ariadne found?
A correct answer will unlock 5 more B-T-S codes.

I'll try to skip the ones we already have, and the codex codes, but forgive me if I give out old codes.
If this is not fun, let me know, and I'll publish the whole list.

 		I would have taken Johannesburg, or South Africa, or the name of a labyrinth near Johannesburg.

0W4E/9IFS/2DIO/AWWL/Z78G
10RF/O7XH/18TU/0K1N/33XZ
13NL/TTG9/VCGW/HVZ6/9I7X

1XH1/C8P7/XDZM/T868/I1C0

Trivia Question # 2:
When Eli was 10, he found an old Bronze artifact. In who's workshop did he find it, and what tipped off the 10 year old that the scroll inside it wasn't from the 5th Century BC.

yes. the flash file takes the encrypted string from http://164.109.150.213/downloadservlet?fileRef=Qmta20080221061455

we knew that that file was updated for every omphaputer update. we could even tell if the update was a big update, or a small update.
This week, I've had 2 people tell me that they were able to decrypt the file after decompiling the flash (I tried, but couldn't figure it out).
Since the file has all the omphaputer commands, and all the pruvo codes, and since the pruvo codes lead to Behind-The-Scenes data, I feel it is my duty to share the codes in a fun, albeit slow, way.

Pheidias, and that piece of fiction bugged the crap out of me.

his tip off was the language the scroll was written in. . .

That's what I was looking for. The scroll was in English. The scroll was clearly written long after the Greek Empire had come and gone.
New codes:

2MRS/P3LG/8FBO/NAC8/4J6R
2XAD/QVD1/1ROV/UCV4/VYU3
38HQ/RW4J/W53U/6YPO/9VZN
3BIX/R7IZ/RNW0/IHI8/S9QO

Links for the 10 I've just given (I gave a piece of the codex by accident)
002V 0B99
0W4E 10RF
13NL 1XH1
2MRS 2XAD
38HQ 3BIX

Both correct.
Unfortunately, the in-game sites are down, so there isn't a point in releasing more pruvo codes at the moment.
I'm hoping that we'll get the rest of the pdfs up soon.
Keep watching this thread for more updates.
