When you solve the Bones puzzle (spell out the word T-E-N in bones), go down, up left, then back down to the right to reach the scorpion pit. You only need to jump over the scorpion.
The scorpion is in the Minotaur's maze, the Labyrinth, but he is easily jumped over.
Jump over it and move right, where you can exit the pit.

In the Labyrinth, continue along the top until the first chains, then go more or less straight down, and back up to the right. After you beat the bones (spell letters TEN), continue down, up left twice, then back down to the right, left, right, and left again and you are in the pit.

The dashes -|-- on the wall indicate the positions of the stones that cross the scorpion pit. To get them all sideways (----) press the ones that are already dashes (1, 3, 4) once each. Now you can cross the pit.
The pathway across the scorpion pit has a sign (-|--) that means that one of the upper path stones is tilted up. To cross over the scorpion, press the three (-) symbols once apiece, leaving the symbols (----).
