:   I need some hints please!  The Pythian Oracle told me ".....in 6 paces 
: and 7 paces when 6 arches have stood 60 years ....."  I assume the area 
: with the arches is the croquet lawn(?)  I've also received a clue that 
: upon entering the croquet lawn I should follow the Oracle's 
: directions...6 paces west, 7 paces south (?) and I should be able to dig 
: and find a strongbox.  It doesn't work though.  When I enter the croquet 
: lawn I can go through the hedge to the NW  or back west through the only 
: exit.  Can anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I hope I don't 
: have to start over!!
: Thank you

It's a "guess the verb" problem.  Play with (for instance) "pace east."
