Drawing them to scale isn't that important; each square has endpoints 
which meet the edges at the same distance.  Some lined paper works 
fine.

Not obvious (or otherwise) to my wife or myself.  Let's call it fair, 
but amazingly tough and rather obscure.  Same for the arrow direction 
puzzle.

The dragon was so wonderful looking, I even spent some time figuring 
out how I could create such a pool in real life (magnets and a lot of 
computer power).  I also enjoyed Ireland; the visuals were wonderful, 
and the music during the horse ride was great.  Come to think of it, 
there were a large number of scenes and areas I liked a lot.  The 
game was truly a visual treat.  Cryo artists certainly know their 
job.
