The Great Laser Puzzle

Description
If you like laser puzzles, this is for you. Too many test subjects may be too square to solve this test. It will take you either a minute or an hour to solve depending on how well you think with lasers.

NB this map was originally planned to be a part of a map pack. I was also very new to Hammer at the time so expect a few (very few since I edited it) minor visual glitches (the hexagonal geometry is mostly responsible for any visual weirdness).

I'm normally not a giverupper on these laser puzzles, but this one was too nuts, "SORRY!" ~Nigel

Read the description again. Chances are, if you're one of those who solved it in a minute, you were good with lasers. Odds are also that because it was a short and easy test, the test didn't feel like much to you.

What wildgoosespeeder said. Though this one only took me about 90 seconds. They're no fun.

I now have another interesting idea for a laser puzzle (kinda open-ended)...

I think every Portal 2 player has to take a stab at a laser relay puzzle like this. I created one myself called Line-up.

OK, so maybe the puzzle wasn't the best, but at the time it was practically the only thing I could think of...oh, and I also wanted to showcase the hexagonal design too. The theme is a hybrid between lower Aperture and Underground (with more resemblance of the latter).

@GWD9000, congratulations on finding a second solution.

I am not a fan of "activate all laser relays in some rediculous fashion while I laugh at you BUAHAHAHA" tests. They tend to be tedious to solve and unsatisfying after wasting so much time. Deathwish808 has this problem with them too.

Great map! I love laser puzzles and still it took me a while to figure it out.

Got lucky on my second day looking at it and fell onto the solution. Almost couldnt believe I solved it so fast.

It took me a while to decide that each cube needed to laser redirect through 2 hubs, and each portal had to laser rdirect through one hub each. This means the multiple times thru a each portal trick, leading to my solution. . Thanks for the brain pain! Cheers.
