Sam & Max: Moai Better Blues

[toblix]

Okay, so I need a hint:

I guess I'm supposed to get the

whistling head

to blow the

thundercloud

over the

fountain of youth,

right? What's the secret to getting anything at all done before the guy stops

whistling?

I don't even have the time to change

one portal,

let alone two, because of the slow

gun-drawing, portal-changing animations.

So I figure it's not a timing puzzle at all. What am I missing?

[Noyb]

It is a bit of a timing puzzle, but I don't remember it being that tight. I think you're probably trying to be a little too fancy with your portalage.

Move two portals? There's one next to the angry moai head, and another next to the fountain itself. Ooooh. Are you trying to use the portals to make her whistle, by placing the item through next to her ear? No need, just use the item on her directly. I think that tripped me up, too.

I guess I'm supposed to get the ____ to blow the ____ over the ____, right?

God, that puzzle felt broken. It was totally obvious to me I was on the right track, so just presenting it directly didn't even cross my mind.
