So far, that's the only chamber that still lacks a least step challenge.
The update will be released wednesday, and we're HIGHLY needing someone able to do this challenge before wednesday or it will be left as is, without any step challenge.

I can make an estimate for you if nothing else.

Ofcourse you'd only use that if nobody can come up with a video.

edit: Oh god I just did a rough exam of the level on how to do the steps, and I knew it was gonna be a hard level, but theres just so many things that can go horribly wrong it's scary... I don't know how fair it will be if I do an estimate...

I am not an expert on doing steps but I can make a route and judge how many steps each move would be, much like how I plan least portal routes only a lot more complicated....
For example getting the first cube on the first button from the lift would take about 5-6 steps at optimal, but in that piece alone you can fail your first jump onto the elevator up (to shave of 2 steps), or not jump far enough so the elevator doesn't go up all the way, then you can screw up the jump from the edge upper area to between the cube and button, using portals ofcourse.... If you screw any of these steps up you can add a good 4-5 steps to your total or start over....

Obviously you would cut the silver & bronze some slack but gold should more or less be a smooth-almost-perfect run...

What should also be taken into consideration is that the map will be changed quite a bit (more room at the second cube...) which may increase or decrease the amount of steps...
