Is it St. Zvlkx?

doubleshuffle · 06-04-2014, 10:08 AM

Indeed it is St Zvlkx from Jasper Fforde's fourth Thursday Next novel Something Rotten (my next hint would have been Denmark...). Here is his cathedral (site of)...

Over to you.

So glad someone figured it out. The poor guy would have been hung if I kept guessing.

CharredScribe · 06-04-2014, 10:35 AM

Yeah! I know about the book and I could vaguely remember the character's name but, I confess, I had to look up the spelling to be sure I was correct.

Now, let's see if I can figure out this code box...

Code:

Health
 
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
 
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
 
  
    ————————

    |/     O
    |     /|\
    |      |
    |     / \
   /|\
  / | \
—————————

EDIT: I may be on a different timezone to quite a few people but I will check late this evening, early tomorrow morning, and then during the day tomorrow.

pdurrant · 06-04-2014, 11:05 AM

S please

red_phoenix · 06-04-2014, 11:17 AM

I please

CharredScribe · 06-04-2014, 11:43 AM

Both S and I are in there.

Code:

A B C D E F G H _ J K L M N O P Q R _ T U V W X Y Z
 
S _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I _
