Small Price to Pay

Description
[Easy Difficulty]

I added melatonal vapor to your oxygen supply

Small Price to Pay is a simple puzzle involving two cubes, a lift, laser, and fizzler. The solution might not seem obvious at first, but if you are an experienced Portal 2 puzzle solver, this should be easy for you. NO CUBE THROWING NECESSARY! JUST LOGIC!

Spoilers ahead!

This puzzle is used as sort of a "intro" to the "ghost cube" mechanic , as you use it a few times

Slightly Inspired by Fumbly Bumbly's Alcuuln0 (Showing the map could spoil this puzzle)

Casual map for an experienced portal player.
Good map design and lighting. I always like magenta colored puzzles, they're easy on the eyes.

Further away would be the better strategy against cube throwing...
My character can throw about 3 to 3.5 meters...

The best way to prevent cube throwing would probably be to surround the button with glass or move it even farther away. Though I would probably do the latter, and the glass option would look quite ugly

I don't know if I am the best cube thrower in the world...
It is possible on the first part...did it twice...

The second part...I tried and tried...
I tried to throw a cube on to the second cube for a slow roll to sneak past the fizzer...
Maybe the best cube thrower in the world can do it...

I know what the actual solution is... :)
I just wanted to test it further...
The first part is vulnerable to cube throwing for sure...second part...not sure.

Very good map thank you! Fortunately I have seen this mechanic somewhere else so i was able to recognise it.
