How can I solve the pillar puzzles in Fez?

Question

I have encountered two kinds of pillars in the game: I've solved one type, but I'm having trouble solving the one that's relatively nondescript, either white or purple in color, and has a dot floating in the middle of its hollowed out top.

How do I solve these pillar puzzles?

Answer

Upon completing the game, you'll unlock New Game+, which transfers your stats and adds first-person view after the intro.

Near a purple or white pillar, go into first-person view and look for a string of white tetrominos. If the white string is vertical, turn your head to the right and write out the tetrominos.

• D-pad (up/down/left/right) shows T-block tetrominos with the bump in the d-pad direction.
• Jump ("A" button) is the O-block (square).
• LT is the Z-block.
• RT is the S-block.

Then just punch 'em in. They should be about eight units long and are unique for each game. An anticube will appear above the pillar.
