I got to try it today. Here's a possible idea for the Hex. I tried it a lot but the game kept crashing showing some memory-related error (don't know if it's an issue with the map) :

[spoiler]There's a marker on the floor with arrows indicated. Make a portal there, and the other directly above it with a relatively skewed orientation (60 deg), using arrows as a guide. Drop a cube through the bottom portal such that it is initially facing a fixed cube. Clearly it will change orientation with every fall. In an ideal case, the orientations will change by 60 deg and towards a different fixed cube through each fall. So the receptors will be activated in rapid succession.

During my tries I got the placement right, but even a minor error in orientation will not give the correct result. I guess there's be an easier way to get the orientation exactly right.[/spoiler]

EDIT : Sorry, that suggestion's redundant as it has already been pointed out. Didn't read properly before..

I tried this solution too, but the cube was unable to reach all receptors...may the map need a fix

Heh, so I managed the above solution to Hex ( Hint:[spoiler]2nd cube can be placed elsewhere to help timing[/spoiler] ), but then I spent about an hour trying to fire portals at the ceiling in the dancefloor till I read that that'd been changed...

This map might need a long rainy night...

i tried xtregers solution but i was unable to make it work... theres to much precision required. when i try a solution with 2 bouncing cubes the map ALWAYS crashes. so i think it is beacause of the map.

[spoiler]my solution is quite simple and i think its not the intended solution. i started with the dancefloor. in v1.2 i was still able to use the rapid portal technique and get 1 portal outside. in the hex room i was able to use 1 bouncing cube to activate 4 cubes. i redirected the end of the laser to the 5th cube. i had a very small gap to shoot a portal outside. now i have two cubes in the main room and the laser redirected to activate the laserrectangle.
ill try to make progress this evening.[/spoiler]

I spent a long time trying to get the cube in the hex room to both yo-yo between 2 portals and also spin at a fast rate. So far it seem that it requires an almost in-human, perfect throw.

However, someone said the spin is how GreyArea solved Devil's Tower so I am assuming he may be re-using that here. Then again he does say "no Ninja skills needed" . . . so I guess it won't be that tough . . .

hey wait a minute - he also said that about Kerplunk, which made me feel . . . like this :

That's what I did in hex, too. Grey said it wasn't intended

mhh i guess i solved every part with an unintended solution^^ guess im the first yay greyarea do u want me to upload a video so u can fix the unintended parts?

Here is my solution to the "Hex" area. The setup is as in the video below and then you spam portal through the fizzler until it land.

Edit: I guess it is the same unintended solution as discussed above.

ye jonatan thats the same solution i used... im rendering a video right now but it will take almost 4h until its uploaded :/

I think I have the intended for Dancefloor now. If so, its pretty cool... And I'm probably wrong again anyway.
