What makes it so bad was that there were maybe 4 or 5 circles you had to complete in order to get the correct display of coloured balls, and you didnt know until the end if you had made a mistake somewhere along the way.
I looked at a walkthrough first and spent 15 minutes writing down word for word what was supposed to be the correct sequence - only to find out that something had gone wrong and I had to start again. So - I checked another walkthrough and did the same thing, only to get another error.

Eventually I resorted to a save game, but it's annoying that it had to resort to that in the first place.

I remember playing Monkey Island back in the day (on the Amiga I think), and while those puzzles were totally illogical, after a bit of guessing and playing around with the inventory, you could usually get the right result
