Quote from HeadShot on December 25, 2011, 10:10 pmGot through it, but almost certainly an unintentional BS solution.
[spoiler]Get cube up to emancipation field button and deactivate it, placing it near the hole. Jump down into floor portals to preserve momentum, make a tough midair angle shot to big floor surface in exit room. Now oscillating in floor portals in each room, land on BS ledge of the glass pane w the hole in cube room. Grab button thru hole and throw to ground. Jump back in portals. Midair, shoot under cube to redirect it beneath you and replace portal under you (a la Beamchain). Grab it on the way up to exit, step on the cube, exit.[/spoiler]
Please confirm my solution to be nonsense so I can continue spending my holiday break obsessing over this puzzle. The solution must be nuts, this puzzle is so sparse on elements.
