SPOILER How To Do The Puzzle In The Maiden Tower Quest?

I am stuck in the quest 'The Maiden Tower', in the catacombs. I dont know how the puzzle works. I tried working out each of the Mr./Mrs.(Colors), and then jumping on each pressure plate that number of times. That did not work however. What I want here is not necessarily the way to solve the puzzle, but the way to do it.
E.G: Look at each of the Mr.colors, and jump on each pressure plate that number of times,
& NOT this: Jump on the green pressure plate 5 times, then jump once on the red pressure plate, and then throw an emerald in the hopper to open the door.

If anyone can answer this, please do so in this post. I hope that I made sense.

 

So whats 3-2.... 1, then blue is first one. And then just do the math and go from 1 to 4 :P

 

bob will always be proud of you if you are able to use simple math

 

Oh thnx. I though I needed to jump on each one that number of times.

EDIT: I just did that, it worked. Thanks a lot!

I can. Only I tried to solve it the wrong way.
