7th Guest Altar puzzle - HELP Please

Hi:

I have spent a couple of hours on one puzzle in 7th Guest and was
wondering if some kind soul could PLEASE help me avoid the penalty of
having the puzzled solved for me:

***SPOILERS FOLLOW*** PROCEED WITH CARE ...



	The puzzle is the one before the altar.  It consists of a pattern
of tiles on the floor (using purple, blue, and brown tiles) with a hole in
the middle.  The objective is, apparently, to get from the bottom left
corner (green arrow) to the top right arrow (red arrow).
	The first clue says that we have to get across the puzzle and be
careful in the "holey place"  The second clue says that the markings on
the tiles indicate numeric values and we should jump to adjacent tiles
based on their numeric value.
	Can someone tell me how to determine the numeric value of the
tiles?  Help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yeah, this was a really hard puzzle, it took five of us about an hour to get
past this one.  If you listen to the clues that your ego gives you, you'll
hear him say "It's as easy as one, two, three."  Notice that there are
three sets of colors, I think they were blue, green and yellow.  In order to
solve this puzzle you need to be thinking in ones, twos, and threes. 
We never went to the library to get clues, and I really don't see how 
the clues you got help any.  Hope this helps.
