  • 17 October 2026: uploaded original puzzle1–5.jpg (jigsaw and letter blanks) and full puzzle-page screenshots from recovered 27 March 1997 HTML plus original chrome. Wayback puzzle HTML already used JPEG, not Shockwave EMBED. Live-week .dcr files and getshockwave.gif were on the server 28 March 1997. No surviving HTML with EMBED SRC=puzzleN.dcr. The preserved HTML5 sliders at /preserved/dagobah-contest/ are a 2026 recreation.

  • 17 October 2026: Shockwave slider stills from original puzzle1–5.dcr PICT tiles (members "1 1" through "4 6", 89×83, VWCF stage 368×520, Lingo MovieScript startMovie/scramble/clickOnPiece/slide/checkDone; hole at column 1 row 1). Page shots wrap those stages in original 1997 chrome plus getshockwave.gif (Wayback 19970328044522). No HTML with EMBED SRC=puzzleN.dcr survived. Hangman puzzleN.jpg pages are the post-week JPEG replacement. Playable HTML5 copies remain at /preserved/dagobah-contest/.

  • 17 October 2026: website-area main image is the Wayback landing-page capture (capture bar plus the Decipher page). Original site GIFs stay in the gallery. Worked model: Art Show 13 October 1999.

  • 17 October 2026: /preserved/dagobah-contest/ is now the two-door recreation: Puzzle column = weekday hangman; Solution column = post-close slider. Skip hangman by opening Solution. Counters persist in the browser.

Missing data

  • The Design a Card winning-entry page s-foilscard.html was not captured (CDX 0). The published card is S-foils.

Possibly faulty data

  • Earlier Talk claimed no surviving HTML with EMBED SRC=puzzleN.dcr, and treated hangman JPEG pages as a post-week replacement. That is wrong. puzzle1.html is dated 03.10.97 (HTML comment dy) and is the contest page: a JPEG of card-art fragments plus daily letter fills. solution1.html at 19970327214330 (live-week on rothko) contains <embed src="puzzle1.dcr" width=368 height=520>. The Shockwave 4-by-6 slider of the full card, including the printed title, is the post-close solution, so the daily letter fills were not redundant. File:Decipher.com Dagobah Contest 1997 Shockwave puzzle N page.jpg shots wrap DCR stills in recovered chrome and are not original 1997 pages.
