Cave: Gem Puzzle

Never mind. I figured out the puzzle. Now I still need to figure out this forum some more.

This one was fun. When it first started, I thought it was going to play the tune from Close Encounters of the Third Kind LOL.

how did you figure out the placement of the gems after placing the ones in the diagram....trial & error? After remembering to click the hint button, I was fine...."Simon" was fun

Oh, I hated this puzzle! Not surprising, considering I've always hated "Simon". But at least I got through it. LOL

I need help. I am stuck in the Gem puzzle too. I put the gems in the holes andnow I am stuck, stuck, stuck. can't figure out what to do next???? anyone help plese.

I figured out all the puzzles thus far, but I am still trying to figure this one out.

Thanks!"

Yep, trial and error. It seems the correct placements will have a "poof" sound and incorrect will have a "smack" sound. The size & shape of the gems also match the holes in the wall.

Once you place the rocks in the right place a rope will fall down from the left side of the screen.
Pull on the chord and you'll notice that the gems will light up in a certain pattern. You must duplicate the correct pattern 4 times in order to beat this puzzle.

I really hate it when I have to remember a sequence. My mind is too old for that now.

Can you tell me what tune we're going for here. I just don't get it at all. ... and Simon? Simon who/what? Oddly I haven't had any problems with any of the puzzles so far - now this. Thanks.

...Peony, no tune. Goal is to place the gems into the indentations in the rock. Use the partial picture to place the initial gems. Find the others and place them ... roughly in the shape of a star. If a "poof" sound when you place a gem, it is correct.
...Once they are all in place, pull the rope to the left. The gems will light up in a certain pattern. A little tune will play ... but it really has no bearing on the puzzle. You must duplicate the correct pattern 4-5 times in order to complete the puzzle. Good Luck.

When the rope/vine dropped I assumed I had all the gems in the correct place. I have pulled the vine about 50 times and nothing happens. Also used Hints many times and still nothing. Cessna, what do you mean by the "correct pattern"? Is this the order in which I should click certain gems before pulling the vine/rope? Help! I'm still waiting for that "light bulb" moment - lol.

Peony, I'm guessing the gems are not in the right places. Click on each to pick up. Then release. If it "poofs" it's ok. If it clunks / grinds, it's wrong. There should be no empty holes. Did you find the two "hidden" gems?
...When you pull on the rope, some of the gems will light up and a little tune will play. You need to duplicate the sequence of the gems. Then rpeat until the star is complete.
...Hope that helps.

Okay, see I didn't notice the different "poof" sounds (shows how observant I am). For me it was just trial and error,and hitting hint and watching the incorrect ones fall out. This puzzle was aggravating, but I got through it. I hated that Simon part, mostly because my kid was standing next to me making the sound effects while I was trying to memorize the sequence.
