Nintendo Gaming / RE: HELP! Prince of Persia: Hall of Learning

I figured it out. Earlier in the walkthroughs they reveal that when you're positioning the mirrors on the 1st floor, you must make certain that the mirrors are on top of "burn marks" on the floor. I had solved the puzzle without moving one particular mirror to its burn mark, so the light reached its destination, but the crack behind the mirror was not revealed, and Farah couldn't go through the hidden crack to pull the lever she needed to pull at the appropriate time. Ta-daaa! Incidentally, it's the mirror the light hits first, on the far side of the room. The mirror is against the wall, and it needs to be pulled out.

Nothing huh? Do you need more info? Has anyone here played Prince of Persia and been to this part in the game? Can you remember those three platforms that came out of the wall in the big library and how you got them to come out?

Nintendo Gaming / HELP! Prince of Persia: I'm stuck!

I have three walkthroughs (two for XBox and one for PS2) and none of them can tell me what to do at this point. It's driving me crazy. If you haven't gotten to the Hall of Learning (the big library) it might be good to not read this so there aren't any spoilers.

I'm in the Hall of Learning (not the Hall of Learning Courtyards, but the indoor library) and I'm reflecting light all over the place with mirrors. Here's the thing though. There is a "pivoting mirror" on the 2nd floor that has a crystal above it on the top floor. That crystal brings the light down from the top floor to the mirror I'm talking about. The walkthroughs say that all I need to do, once the light is coming down onto this middle-floor mirror, is turn the mirror a certain direction and three "platforms" will come out of the walls. I can see the platforms retracted in the wall, but they haven't protruded. They haven't come out! And I've turned the mirror (with the light coming onto it) in every direction, and they don't come out. And since they don't come out, I can't get across to the other side of the room.

In an earlier point in this room, the walkthroughs also say something like, "After you land on the balcony," (that contains the mirror I've spoken about) "Farah will pull a lever from somewhere to reveal an insignia on the wall hidden behind the bookshelves." That also does not happen. I'm wondering if the fact that the insignia hasn't appeared is tied to the fact that the platforms won't come out. Is this a bug or something?

Can anyone tell me how to get these platforms to come out?
