The Dink Network

okay so i was playing cast: initiation and i can't seem to figure out the puzzle where you have to make the statues point certain directions or the one where there's the barrier and in front of it there's the poles that bend when you hit them, please help

You talk to the paper, it tells you what poles to hit. If you hit spacebar next to a pole, it tells you a letter. There is also a walkthrough on Dink Solutions.

The paper requires that you hit poles numbered one through six. However, I only have five poles. I hit them in that sequence but nothing happens. Now what?

Try talking to the poles and the notes. I forget the exact solution, but it has to do with how things are spelled. Like, hitting a pole in the right position will make it say 'on' instead of 'one', or something like that.
