Bring it on.

OK, so one wrong move then the next time do it right!!! I assume it will be obvious where this spot is

It's obvious. I would bet that an awful lot of folks would fail the first time without trying. But it honestly isn't difficult to get it right by the second time, so you don't need to worry about a dreaded time sequence. Really!

hmmmmm....wonder what the 'time' allowence was for that Crystal Puzzle in Spire in Myst IV. THAT wasn't anywhere near enough time. Of course some people did not have a problem w/it...but most i know did...as well as another one later. Hence the concern on these timed puzzles. What i don't understand is why don't the developers put in an 'auto-solve' (without penalty and showing it being solved) after numerous tries by the gamer.

gamenut, once you realize where to click on the timed puzzle part, of the fifteen seconds you have to do it, you will probably have 13 left. This game is very much a purist adventure gamer's delight.

Thanks for the info! Now i AM really looking forward to this game!
