We got to get accidentally fizzle that before you accidentally fizzle that before you could complete the test. I'm [music] sorry. I'm usually much more of a sphere guy, I'm usually much more of a sphere guy, but that cube has corners for days.
    3:45
    Please. Ah. Well, now you've done it. That was the Well, now you've done it. That was the last. All right. All right. We can still get out of this and not We can still get out of this and not lose our balls soon. That's okay. Well, that didn't pan out for anyone. Well, that didn't pan out for anyone. Spinner threshold 2. Super spinner. Spinner threshold 2. Super spinner. Do you remember the end of portal one? Do you remember the end of portal one? The first one. What happens there?
    4:17
    Yeah, I think this is my favorite uh MarkX still performance in a pinball machine. It's really good.
    4:31
    I [music] say we just go forward. No need to be fancy or clever. It's really not my thing anyway. Sorry. This course was originally designed to build confidence in [music] humans. Oh, hey, a portal. hey, a portal. Hey, two for one.
    4:55
    Spinner threshold three. Super spinner engaged. Oh, hey, an orange portal. Oh, look. There's another portal there.
    5:10
    You can also, I didn't point this out, but see there's a six. If I hit the two stand up targets on the right. Oh, so I did it. Now, if I hit the underneath the uh ramp on the right, then that'll portal me six.
    5:26
    Oh, no. [laughter] It was fire. [music] Yeah. I don't want to shake it out of there. It's probably going to send this ball flying when the ball searches. Yeah. There it goes. Okay, good. No, we're good.
    5:47
    I want that six now. There we go. There we go. We're flying figuratively.
    5:59
    We'll get there yet. Get to the blue portal. Get to the blue portal. Got that one totally on purpose. I know. Got that one totally on purpose. I know. All teamwork is needed to complete these All teamwork is needed to complete these tests. That's cool. I like that it kind of That's cool. I like that it kind of skips you past the robing challenge, too, if you do that, cuz that's the hardest one.
    6:20
    We are an amazing science [music] team. They'll be analyzing those results. Yeah, if you're watching on your phone, Yeah, if you're watching on your phone, it would be tough to pick up on. It's really It's really obvious in person or on a bigger screen. Stay motivated.
