Well you can place the turtle in only one position. Then you rotate
the designs so his head is aimed at the red design. That way
you can approach the table from any direction and still set
the directions properly. I discovered this when I kept getting
stuck on this puzzle. I went back to a saved game and tried
placing the turtle with the window to my left as well as with
the window ahead of me. He always ended up facing the
same direction.

Well you need to start in the right position. If you tell him you're
ready and you're standing in the wrong position, you have to
go through the whole sequence before he tells you "it appears
the turtle has lost his way." Maybe the plate would have told
me where to stand if I'd looked at it. I didn't think to look at it
and had to consult a walkthrough to see what I was doing
wrong.

For the most part, I enjoyed it anyway. One puzzle I didn't even
attempt was the rainbow bridge puzzle. I couldn't see what
I was doing or where those little roads were leading and had
no patience for it. Walkthrough time again.
