[SP] Holiday Headache
Quote from josepezdj on December 27, 2011, 2:02 pmAwesome puzzzle again Jonatan.
This is what I've got (nothing really):
1. Cube onto the fizzler button. I've placed the blue portal near the fizzlers and the orange below the cube. I'm swinging between portals until I manage to place the orange portal on the other room where of course I can reach the top ledge with the exit. Now I start swinging again between portals opening the blue portal nearer each time to the glass window room with the cube on the button. I can stand on the window frame, but I can't reach the opposite side of that room with momentum enough to get up to the cube anymore. If the hole in the window would have been wider I could have gotten the cube easily thorugh it.
2. Cube launched from the fizzlers room to the funnel room by a momentum while I'm pressing the fizzler button. I put the cube on the funnel button (and the nearest possible to the ledge that of its left); get high enough by the funnel to gain momentum and place one portal on the floor below (near of the funnel's end), and the other on the white panels below the cube the closest to the right part so it is the nearest possible to the cube. I then swing between portals trying to get the cube while I fly without success.
The only remaining thing I'm now trying is to stand myself on the funnel button and try to funnel the cube up to the exit platform somehow! Still trying some of "swinging the cube between portals trying to touch it a little to deviate its path and get it to the final ledge... But anyway, getting up there myself later alone with no funnel seems to be difficult or not possible at all because after placing one portal on the white panels of the wall and the other on the floor gives not enough momentum to get up to the final ledge!
OR... use those floor white panels in the lowest room to gain even more momentum...
... I'm running out of ideas!

Quote from andyb on December 27, 2011, 6:51 pmI found- [spoiler]Eaiest way to get the cube out is to get up to the ledge with cube and portal on the target and one below.Drop the cube and stand on the button to deactivate the fizzler.[/spoiler]
I found-

Quote from jonatan on December 28, 2011, 7:53 amNice find marKiu. We did try to get under the platform in the fizzler room without losing height as you did in your video, but we didn't manage to do it ourselves. It is not supposed to be possible. Will fix it next version. Thanks for testing.

Quote from josepezdj on December 28, 2011, 8:33 amWow MarKiu, I swear I tried like a thousand simlar ninja flings yesterday without success. It was totally impossible for me to go under the plattform without losing momentum, but you found a kinda tricky maneuver by entering the orange portal just a bit angled to get enough aside of the plattform to get the other side...
It's a pity that wasn't the intended solution.
I will try this afternoon a few things.

ye kinda sad cuz i tried it like 100 times to strafe under the plattform...
i found another solution btw but i guess its still not the intended solution.
This jump drove me insanebecause when im recording on fraps i have a huge fps drop... dont try this if you dont have at least 1h of freetime

Quote from jonatan on December 28, 2011, 7:28 pmOk. New version (hopefully) fixes all solutions previously posted in this thread. It is unfortunate we did not manage to find these before releasing, but it is next to impossible to think of everything. Hope you like the new version. Happy testing!

To me, you both are the BOSSES!!!
Even though it seems that it's not the intended way by jonatan... man, I tried a whole afternoon thousands of flings exacept those shown in your videos to get what you just got! That was just awesome to see!
Congratulations!

So, let's try the new version. I assume that the funnel must really need to be used finally (judging jonatan's reply...).
