The portal problem is a hypothetical physics problem which asks the viewer whether or not, given portals from the video game series Portal Wikipedia were to exist, how a cube would react to being to having a portal slammed down upon it. The first result (denoted as A in the photograph) shows a cube plopping down with little energy to the floor, while the second result (marked B) shows the cube being launched through the air vertically. The problem was (and remains) hotly contested within DGG with strong and varied opinions among chatters, orbiters, and even between Destiny and Dan, in a manner similar to the more contemporary YEE vs PEPE conflict.

The Portal Debate

The introduction of the portal problem led to a lengthy debate on stream between Destiny and various chatters (to include Exskillsme.)

Option Results
A is the only right answer.
180 / 731 (25%)

114 / 731 (16%)
A, but I could see B being correct.
222 / 731 (30%)
B, but I could see A being correct.**
215 / 731 (29%)
* In the VOD, the last known frame of the strawpoll.me (now defunct site) shows a total of 731 votes, so these values are used though different values may exist.

** Destiny indicates he believes that he believes in the fourth option, and states that anyone who thinks A is the correct answer is retarded, with anyone voting for the third option having probable retardation.
