Hmmmm...

I've decompiled the flash file, and found something interesting. Apparently, the answers to the quiz are submitted to valve. Wonder what they're doing with them...


Also, here's my theory:

This "relaxation chamber" is where you start in the game, and you must escape from it. I believe this because in the game Narbacular Drop, which is the inspiration for Portals, you begin the game in a cage.

The cake, I believe, is a metaphor for something more malicious (sic).

So... what kind of fork do you eat your cake with... what kind of weapon do you use to slaughter a final boss?! uh huh.

I declare conspiracy! Valve is using the answers to determine plot twists in the not-already-made episode three! (Two is 'done', just being playtested and tweaked, right?) ...I would cry if that were true.
Anyways, find anything else, Arctor?

The relaxation chamber is where you start, as stated in the November issue of PCZone Magazine.

Yup. I wonder what they thought when Valve offered them a job.

I got confused when it showed my pin number thing with like 70 letters. I figured it would be asked in a question very soon to see if I payed attention or actually memorized it so I began writting it down. I saw a number one and it changed. The numbers and letters change.

It is a very perplexing thing to do, especially when bored.

If there is no doors or ways out, maybe that has to do with the whole portal gun thing. Hmmm. I wonder if this is kind of how it all starts.
