Description
"Good morning, employees! Cave here. Welcome to yet another Fairly Advanced Robotics Training Seminar, or FARTS for short. Yeah yeah, I know, get your laughs out now. I don’t make the acronyms around here. But I do the FARTS! So, without further ado, it’s time we all let loose. I’m sure you’ve all heard many of the FARTS I’ve done over the years. Some short, some long, some loud, some quiet, some smelly. You know, when the mutant skunk found his way in. We’ve even had a few wet ones! Remember, when the room got flooded? Good times. Anyway, we… aw, who cut the cheese? Deborah, was that you? Ugh. You were meant to cut it into triangles, not squares! Now it’s not gonna fit into the sandwiches! Unbelievable.

Alright, FARTS Lesson One: whoever smelt it dealt it. That’s right, smelting is incredibly important in the robotics industry – we need the metal recovered from smelting to make the robots! So make sure you give credit where credit is due. FARTS Lesson Two: let it rip. If your robotics training manual begins to tear, just allow it to be ripped apart entirely. It’s made of sentient pulp, so if it rips a bit it’s gonna hurt. Best to put it out of its misery by tearing it apart entirely. FARTS Lesson Three: silent but deadly. Our robots are ninjas, silent killers who stalk their prey. Don’t get in the way of their targeting reticule! Alright folks, that’s enough FARTS for today. I’m sure you’ll agree it’s been a gas. Cave Johnson, we’re done here."

"Paradox" is a medium-hard difficulty laser puzzle in which you will have to make use of a certain paradox. I haven't worked with lasers in a very long time, and I really enjoyed it, so expect more laser maps in the future!

Author's Note: I've never received so many comments praising one of my Cave Johnson descriptions - glad you found it funny, and it's good to know my audience :P

Took me a bit to see the final cube position. A bit connection heavy for my taste, but this is a nice one!

Clever solution with the bootstrapped laser.

Went around in circles until I realized the setup for the bootstrap, which undid the pair of ducks. After that, just had to make sure to use the correct panels to do the exit.

A new fave! :p2cube:

Small but devious. Took some time for me. I felt that it had to do with a bootstrapped laser , but halfway through I lost the focus and could only solve the map by trying and trying and trying different setups ^^

I broke the fizzler: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199244363354/screenshot/2473115214791275090/
I also had it solved for like 5 minutes without realizing it.

1.2 Hours, and some looking at comments for hints, and i eventually got it.

Spent way too long thinking i needed 3 portals, and then got it in my head that the only way i could get the cube in the 3rd room with portals in the proper place was to drop it thru the angled panel while it was on the floor, (which upon viewing a Solution video after completing the test, BOY was I wrong)

Always pleasing run. Small chamber and satisfying game.

Another good one! The connections for that one death fizzler were confusing at first, not sure how you would've made it clear though. Maybe some signage.

Neat map, i like the bootstrap but I feel there's too many connections.

Thanks for creating, another great puzzle.
