Sorry I can't publically share information about the puzzle pieces.
This message comes with the game:
"Christopher Monckton holds the copyright in all the ETERNITY and
ETERNITY II puzzles. The details of the pieces of the clue puzzles as
well as
of the prize puzzle are protected by copyright, and any circulation
of
them, in any form or medium, will result in action for breach of
copyright.
To protect other solvers, the judges will disqualify any entry whose
existence becomes publicly known before the date of the annual
scrutiny
following its submission, and any entrant who has publicly disclosed
any
details of any of the Eternity II pieces in any form or medium."
But there seem to be many places where it's available. Hope you find
a copy from somewhere.

I too am creating software to try to solve the puzzle. I have a class
diagram - software enginnered using my MCRT ontology of course ;) and
am now implementing the design. There is a group on Yahoo you may be
interested in where many people are talking about using AI / Genetic
Algorithms etc to try to crack the puzzle. Link to the group below.
Good luck:
