That solution worked - thanks everone.
I do suggest that the writers of the guide put a note in the Staue room section about the door sequence ( E1, E2, E3 and E4 ) - Yes it is in the guide - but only at the bottom of the page and the bottom of the sectin about the room - if you follow the directions line by line, then it just say to follow the ghost - there is nothing there saying the ghost dosn't always point at the right door or that you can use the gate sequence at the bottom of the section.
