on the second level I have all the color chains in place and yet I'm not able to get through the door, (and as usual Deekin's advice was useless..).

Whats the Puzzel here? I've tried pulling the chains when their colors pop-up over the pool but it isn't working..

Yes, I had trouble with this as well. Here's what worked for me... After getting all the chains hooked up, look in the pool. You should get the message that some colors appear or something like that. Then watch and note the colors that appear over the pool. You may need to play with the zoom to actually see them properly. When the colors stop appearing (6 I think?), then pull the chains in the order you noted. I had to reload once I saw where the colors were appearing because I had already missed the first few.

Ah! So I wasn't waiting until the colors stopped b4 selecting the color combination...doh! Thanks MUCH!
