Refraction
Refraction is the 44th level in Chip's Challenge 1, and named such because the level is completely symmetrical, except for the center corridor; it is "refracted" through the center of the level. Refraction is quite simple although long, and there is one small trick to add a couple extra seconds.
When Chip is following just behind the pink ball on entering a room, then after collecting the first chip in the room, taking the second chip will cause so much delay that collecting the chips on the opposite vertical side is quicker. This is available on the southeast and southwest edges; collecting the chips in normal sequence will lead to 144.
The optimum route is: southeast, northeast, switch tanks, finish northeast, finish southeast (use above trick), northwest, southwest (use above trick), switch tanks, finish southwest, finish northwest, exit.
