he said the prompt was the first paragraph of LoTR, but he didn't mention a preamble
this guy seems to have taken that idea and got something similar/better, so likely the prompt isn't too special

In either case, I still don't see how I could reproduce this to test against various models, which is the entire point of Simon's pelican.
This is a bigger difference to the pelican than simple reproducibility steps. The pelican is intentionally esoteric, and thus open ended. The LotR is mundane and has a "correct" answer, aka, copy the movie.
It makes it a really awful test of capabilities. The pelican isn't a slop test. This crap is.
