What's the deal? I have trapped whatever-his-name-is 4 times. Nothing happens. The little guy just stands there holding the cog/gear. Indy doesn't speak or try to grab the cog/gear. It's like there isn't anyone in front of him. Once I moved Indy out of the way and the little guy just started running around the circle again.
O.k. so, I'll answer myself now that time healed all problems. The block and the statue can be moved a variety of ways. Apparently, only one block on the first floor should be moved and the statue on the second floor shouldn't be moved out of the confines of its room. Live and learn!
