This solution sets things up to start the timer on the northern platform (steps 1-10), to take advantage of the starting platform's Red (Turn Twice & Shoot) button. This is done to minimize the number of actions needed after activating the first door control (step 11) which starts the timer. This allows for a fairly generous time buffer to get the achievement. 1. Enter the chamber and climb up the western platform. Ignore the Door Control on this platform for the time being - timing starts when you touch the first door control. 2. Press the red (Turn Twice; Shoot) button. This will create an exit portal on the eastern platform. 3. Press the blue (Reset Entrance Portal) button to place the portal entrance on your platform. Enter the portal. You are now on the eastern platform. 4. Ignore the door control and press the blue (Turn Once; Shoot) button three times. This will move the entrance portal to the southern platform, where you can't reach it.
