the angel thing is just mariner flag movements. Move the wings to the appropriate position and click on the corresponding letter down below.

There's a way to communicate letters and numbers using gestures with flags, called semaphore. You use the wings on the angel to do semaphore gestures, and after you do each gesture, you click on the letter you just did the gesture for.

Here is a diagram of the gestures: http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/co … aphore.gif

Spell out ABSTRACT ERA in semaphore, doing one letter at a time, clicking the letter at the base after each one. Then you will get a pdf download. Overlay the pdf you just downloaded with the map of the park, from earlier in the mission (look around for the link... I forgot it). When you do this, you will have something like the images out of the back of MAD Magazine, where you fold them and it has a hidden message.

Print out the 2 pdfs (overlayed) and fold them like in MAD Magazine, and it shows you the gesture.

proper flag angles to make letters

Make letter "A" with the wings, then click on the letter A below the statue. Keep doing this until you spell out ABSTRACT ERA

Thank you, this shows me what I missed with that dang angel statue.  I just did not understand the whole statue thing and this makes a lot more sense now.

It's really not that hard.  Use the directional keys in the lower left to move the robot thing which pushes the white blocks.  Then just push then around to cover the red squares.  It takes some running around but it is really simple.

I don't get the last thing you have to do.  It looks like you have to put the right wing up and the left wing down left, but nothing happens.  What are you supposed to do?

Hmm, got to the gesture part and it keeps giving me invalid gesture for almost every possible order of connecting the dots (all starting with the lower left corner). I thought I went through all possible combinations, but I must be missing one or the gesture doesn't start in the lower left corner.
