>> Possible Spoiler <<

I am stuck in room Fireball 4.  I can get past the broom,
and repeatedly stun the Floating Eye.  I assume the next
correct step is to pull one or more of the chains to open
the gate between myself and the wizard.  I don't seem to
be able to figure out which chain(s) to pull at what time(s).
Sometimes pulling a random chain causes the barrier to flash,
but it doesn't go away.  I've tried standing under the various
chains and watching the wizard, eye, and everything else that
moves (as in watching the prisoner's heads to select a key 
in Trouble 3).  

I'm not aware of a dealer in my area who has a complete demo.
Can anyone in net-land suggest (or hint) how to proceed?

In order to get to the wizard you have to pull the three chains in sequence.
The sequence is chosen at random, and there is no way other than
experimentation to determine the sequence.  In other words pulling the same
chain twice consecutively will not help.  So just keep on pulling chains until
the wall collapses.  The six possible sequences are naturally:
1,2,3   1,3,2   2,1,3   2,3,1   3,1,2  3,2,1
