The Orange Box: Portal Hints
Once I have the cube, how can I get it to the button?
1 of 5: By using the portals again.
2 of 5: If you're fast enough, you can grab the cube and go back through the blue portal before it moves on.
3 of 5: If not, just wait until it gets back to your room, then go through it.
4 of 5: Stand and watch the portal (with the cube held out of the way of your view) until it changes to the room with the big button.
5 of 5: When it does, go through and drop the cube on the button.
