@jp I'm glad you enjoyed the map. Thanks for the visit!

Hey that's funny! I didn't know that trick. You found a good way for using it :)
Thanks for creating this weird map

It would probably seem that way if you haven't seen that mechanic before. :)
Thanks for the visit @PixelPerfect.

That's Insane!

@stormsend Thanks for the visit and your comment. I'm glad you (eventually) enjoyed. :)

I don't know that I could have finished it if I hadn't felt so frustrated that I went and read some comments. It came back to me that I saw this concept before. Cinch when you know what you're doing. Thanks for teaching me an old trick. Good one.

ohh, very nice :) I have to think straight!

I'm glad you enjoyed. There's never any membership fees for this training facility so please
come back anytime. :))

Very clever concept! I enjoyed the training day very much!
My back part was completely blue but I solved the exercise!
Now I don't need to go to fitinn anymore :)

That's my motto: Always look for an easier way! I'm glad you enjoyed and thanks for playing.

Got so confused when I entered the room. Took me some time to figure out the trick, as it's not something I usually think of, but it was pretty fun. Just like Nobody, I'm glad I found a better way to take the sphere too!

@Nobody No-One: Yeah, a number of other players tried that way, at first.:)) Thanks for playing.

Nice little trick. At first I thought I had to take the sphere with me the whole way which was very frustrating to try to pull off. But eventually I found a better way. Thumbs up.

@BehindPortal: Thanks for the comment and the fav!!

great puzzle. very good funnel trick. favorite

Thanks for playing and the link!

I did not know this funnel property, so I failed. But I indicated it in my guide, section Energy items (2) http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=163045846

@bullfrog: There may be some who can do it the way you first tried but I'm not one of them. :))
Thanks for playing and the comment.

Great puzzle. I knew the trick (which is not a glitch ;)), but tried for some time to carry the sphere with me without success, until I realised I just needed to let it oscillate in and out of the small void behind the grating - after that, it was no problem.

@nockscitney: Thanks for playing and the video! Rest assured, you weren't the only
one who forgot the sphere on their first trip to the exit :))

Nice map. Just when I thought I had it all figured out I forgot one small thing and had to redo the puzzle.

@jandlml: I had no doubts you could. :) Thanks for playing!

didnt think i could do it but i did,yay!

@cowboy: Thanks for playing. :)

←→←→ Nice trick

@dven1: I agree completely. :) Thanks for playing and commenting.

Nice map, well made and lit. I think most players know that when you cross through a funnel transversely you don't move down the funnel, so this is just an extension of that phenomenon that was purposely built into the game. I'd say that makes it not a glitch. Thanks for your efforts.

@SloppySteve: Personally, I agree with you, that it isn't a glitch, that is. Thanks for playing. :))

Right on! I needed a glut workout. Not a glitch at all! Thanks for building!

@Brave: Yeah, I know that some consider this method a bit 'glitchy'. I don't think it's a full-on
glitch such as portal-bumping or funnel flying but different people will have different opinions. :))
In any case, your solution was exactly as intended. Thanks for playing and commenting.

This is the way I beat this map. demo click here [www.dropbox.com] I figured out this funnel strafing trick on my own back about two or so years ago using it against one of toncica's maps. Of course he wasn't happy with what I did so he added a turret to keep players like me from doing that again! I, myself as a map maker wouldn't use it as a puzzle to test the player, but then again I've created some crazy puzzles as well, so I'm not one to talk... lol
For your 1st map, thumbs up, and good luck if you decide to make more maps in the future!

@dire no need to carry ball with you, but if you did? Kudos to you!!!

@Dire.fcs: I've played at least a couple of maps (Goat's and RedSilencer's) where this method
is intended. I'm sure there are others. :) Thanks for playing and the Fav!

@Demon Arisen: I always appreciate a status update. :)) Thanks for the visit and up-vote.

Booty status: shaken.

Nice trick, and congrats on your first map! Thumbs up!

Nice trick, and finally a map published ; (I used this trick to solve a couple of maps unintended, but not carrying a ball); it took some tries though. After many favorited maps from you i had to favorite this one http://cs2bus.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=850564691

@Yuuubi: Thanks for playing and the kind words. :)

Fun to execute :) A great first map !
Well done

Oh yes, a bit 'glichy' but I'm ok. Awesome map (for a first try :p)
Thumbs up and keep it up!

@nintendo.erk: Nope, that's definitely not how it's supposed to be done.:)

@Polux: I'm not sure if you're joking, with your last statement. I figured you would break it.

@libbybapa: I like Cake too, but I'm a lousy swimmer. :)

@Brave: I look forward to what you think, when you've had a chance to play.

@Fatso: Considering the kind of maps you've published, it sounds like you are a bit rusty. :))
Thanks for playing.

That was a challenge, I was going to make a video but died to many times lol. Good title for the map.

You should of named this map, Hell froze over. Why you ask? Because jgaultney swore making a map would never ever happen and voilà!-a map appeared in your workshop out of the blue ... lol
I haven't played it yet, but I will try to find some time this weekend to play your first ever created map.

23.01.17
A date to be marked in the calendar :)
Unfortunately, I don't understand anything about this puzzle :(

Lol I couldn't because my sphere was in the funnel at the entry area :O

@RectorRocks: Thanks, the title may be a little TOO helpful .
@TreasureGhost: That may depend on which record you are talking about. :P :)
@saunpan: Thanks for playing and, at the risk of too big a hint you don't HAVE to
personally carry the sphere .
@nintendo.erk: Thanks and you could always pause at the exit and wait for the cube
to roll into the goo, on its own. :))
@Turrets Turret: If one waits long enough, anything may happen. :P

He finally made a map!

Lol I forgot to take the sphere with me.....
Thumbs up for a very entertaining first jgaultney map!

Lol,you create the first map!
cool skill map,I think I know what should to do, but it's a little difficult for me, especially with a ball.Funny shake.Thumbs up!

This guy must be awarded the guinness world record right now.

First jgaultney map!
That was a nice little training map, I didn't realize what I had to do until I read the description and re-read the title. Thumbs up!
