You're right, it's not intended design.
However, bugs and very few other workarounds.
Until we find better workarounds that is ...
Just created that tab on:

What reset timers? I've been in the same solo instance for two hours now, and not a single obelisk has come back or changed.

I have a bug that the message from Ram Tah arrives on the next scan, which makes the logging close to impossible :/ the mission reward does get updated at the right scan.
I was using the excel to and always got the concurrent message 1 scan later
Welcome Elite Dangerous - 2 months of beta and the ruins is still has more bugs than Klendathu!
I would say it's worth getting a few of us together in a wing, in a Private Group, and rinsing the 'passive scan' methodology.
3 ships hovering with all 2x 6 items, one commander on the ground running around scanning obelisks with anything they like in their hold.
That'll soon start racking up the numbers.

Supposedly, if you wait long enough the obilisks reset, but you can get around it by relogging and resetting the instance, same way you could mission stack at Sothis or 17 Draconis.
It's not cheating, apparently....

Stuff like this isn't in beta. Only FD's internal QA can test it.
exactly what I was going to do with some colleagues tonight.....

I know, but surely they knew people would relog and switch instances to reset it.
You would have thought they would take that into account and design said puzzle so it doesn't promote relogging.
I'm all for puzzles, especially ones that can be solved in game without spectrographs and such, but they should work in a way that isn't immersion breaking.
I took a 4k pic of the ruins, sharing it here for anyone who might want to make a map out of it.
I raised the obelisks and the got up to 1.20 km height above the center.
The pic is as the place is in the game, only edit I did was bump up the brightness a bit. So, all objects are in their exact correct places. Relic towers "pointing" in different directions happens because of perspective. For making a map to find your way around the ruins, I think it doesn't matter.
Dark circular smudges are the various artifacts. Relics have their towers raised, and Relics still on place.

The only time it's ever been observed is in Open/PG with other players around, because something* going on is causing it to.
*Something being clobbering, cumulative event logging in a single instance from multiple players, which massively reduces the problem space for what is likely a required combo/order of activities for things to happen.
I have that down as C16 and C15 as you're looking at it. Cool to see though.
Nicely spotted. Are you sure it's "Kuwemaki A3"? There might be a similarlyspelled system. my ipad resolution isn't good enough for me to be sure but it would be strange if this is not the kuwemaki system in-game.
So does this mean the puzzle only works correctly in Open?
I can't see that being the case, there's thousands of players that don't play open play because of *reasons*, surely FDev wouldn't block them out of the most interesting parts of the game, or force a play style.
Or maybe the puzzle is designed to be solved in groups, but that would leave the solo players out.
It's hard to speculate on such little information.

Made a coloured high contrast version of the overview image I had.
Yesterday while in the Fleetcomm PG, I was going around the site in my SRV. Cmdr Frawd Digger was in his SRV in the same instance, but not winged with him. I was getting his failed messages - I already had collected 13 myself the previous day.
Has anyone tried viewing the image flipped, are we sure the orientation is correct.
To me, the flipped image looks like two planets in close proximity.
There is a planet extremely close to this one, has it been fully surveyed for additional ruins?

could explain the false positives in the "NEW Ruins Sheet"
I can reset the puzzle by switching between solo and private.
Which can't work for open offcourse :/
