Myst III: Exile Hints
What can I do at each of those posts?
1 of 5: Notice that you can turn a wheel near the top of the post and also look through the lenses. You may also try using any of the other posts on the island -- this may give you a slightly better idea of what's going on here.
2 of 5: Each time you turn a post it and look through it again, your view will change.
3 of 5: There's some sort of mirror inside the posts, which bends the light coming into it (and similarly, the view looking out if you're not staring into the light).
4 of 5: One of the three possible positions will stop the light, but the other two bend it 120 degrees left or right.
5 of 5: Also, if you go to some of the other posts, you should notice that some angles give you a view of a different post. (You may or may not notice this at the yellow post, depending on where you're standing and whether the beam of light gets in the way.)
