How do you get the nose ring on Mythology Island?

You have to pass the three challenges in the Maze (Labyrinth).

1. The riddle with 15 bones. You take six bones away, to spell the letters TEN with the bones.
2. Jump past the Scorpion.
3. Grabbing the red-eyed snake. There does not seem to be a quick way, and one approach is to pick a single location to use. Click on the "regular" snake there, then wait to click the red one when he eventually pops out (he uses all the holes, apparently at random)
