• 
  Step 1: Go the last room of the puzzle, place the teleporter through the hole and teleport into the third room.
• 
  Step 2: In the third room, drill the wall into the second room. Use the teleporter to move across the hole. Reposition the teleporter close to the hole, and move both teleporters across the hole so they're in the third room.
• 
  Step 3: Teleport back into the third room, drill a hole outside, place a teleporter, and teleport out. Leave one of the teleporters inside.
• 
  Step 4: Reposition the outer teleporter to a central location, so it is visible from both the second and third rooms. Teleport back into the third room.
• 
  Step 5: Drill the wall into the second room, relocate the teleporter there, but don't move there yourself. Grab the driller and teleport out into the open.
• 
  Step 6: Teleport into the second room with the driller.
• 
  Step 7: Drill the wall into the first room, then place the teleporter through the hole. Teleport there and activate the progress wheel.
