Hi, got the code.
Tea house was nice too.
code is:
Pruvo de Rehavigo: 83JC/HJP8/E65K/5MAB/2LL2 (however
the last .../XXXX could be .../2112 or .../2ll2)
I dont have any time right now, so I will update you
all later, including photos and how it all went.
cheers
Am off to practice drawing human-size labyrinth, so haven't got time to try the code - catch you all later on!

unagi , did you try combinations of I, L and 1? ie. IL, LI, I1, 1I, L1, 1L ?

First, the artifact codes are always upper case. so the only way an L would be confused for a 1 or an upper case i would be if it were lower case.
I don't think they would mistake an upper case L for a I or a 1.
Second, I've tried 2112, 2II2, 21I2, and 2I12, and none of them worked.
Some other letter may have been read wrong. Sometimes the B and 8 aren't easy to tell apart.
Really, a photo or a scan of the page would be great if possible.

Thanks for your suggestion. Now I have tried nine combinations to find none hits.
ariock, characters in the artifacts tend to disappear partially.

For what it's worth, I've tried all 1152 possible combinations of
[8b][3B][J1]C/H[J1]P[8B]/E[68]5K/5MA[8B]/2[1LI][1LI]2
I'm suprised the site is still responding to me.
Think I'll wait for the scan now..

Wow... joeyhess someone should give you a medal!
(Hey, erm, sorry to be a pain, but did you try it with the PRUVO url or with PRUVODEREHAVIGO in the side commands itself?)

Give a medal to perl.
I only tried the url.

I was of the understanding that the PRUVO url only worked after the PRUVODEREHAVIGO code had been entered into the site. Was I wrong? :S

Yep. In fact, the code never seems to work directly into the site until a couple days after its found... each time we've bypassed it with the url first.
EDIT: I've dropped him another message asking him if he can include a closeup of the code when he uploads the pics...

the direct URL link hs always been active for when the artifact was found - manually entering retrieval code into the omphaputer is what isn't always ready at the same time.
if the code is getting a 404, either this is the first time the PDF wasn't prepared in time, or we've got a character or two wrong. I wouldn't worry about attempting the omphaputer retrieval code yet. Keep working on the URL

Thanks for doing this! Being a chariton, my new mission is to "Find the Seoul Artifact" and I was just about to start nagging - very charmingly of course

Yeah, but did you do the [S5] or [2Z]?
Good job!
