As above but using the Buddhist wheel to act as a second interlocking cog with the first cog withstand the Protestant cross through the wheel as a lever to turn when the rope is pulled.

Entirely correct, well done :)

Reiterating my original notes were:
- Step 1 unlock cog w/catholic key 1
- Step 2 slot Buddhist Wheel on
- Step 3 fit cross into wheel
- Step 4 using ropes and giant crescent add weight to wheel, allowing cog to turn
- Step 5 use key 2 to open the door!

...right, now I have to come up with another puzzle :P

OP update done :)


THE POET'S ROOM (2 points)

After a couple of tries, you fit the key in and finally leave the Devotion Room.

The new room is mostly oak-panelled, and has what appears to be a case full of books along one wall, with doors on the two walls adjoining it (including the door you came through. The other wall, however, is made of a shiny grey metal.

You see four racks on the wall. Each has a linear scanner behind it. On the racks lie a set of tiles, each with a word on. They form the following cryptic-message:

Quote
see this poem And If you shall be free, from The room
shall I be for ever more written thus
must be as would to unlock the door.

There are currently no tiles on the bottom rack.

What do you wish to do?

I'm assuming you're going to have to reshuffle the tiles to make the poem about leaving the room?

Do I actually have to try and write out the poem or just say 'I rearrange the tiles in to another poem'.

I think if you just say "I rearrange the tiles" I have to assume I randomise the word order, so the probability of you getting anywhere that way is to say the least somewhat small.  :P
