How do I quit the game?

Neither escape nor alt+f4 seem to work. Right now I'm hitting ctrl+alt+delete and manually ending the process when I want to take a break. Is there a better way to exit the game?

Are there different endings for Antichamber?

I beat the game, but the timer ran out and I did not find all the pictures. If you beat the game within the time limit, is there anything special that happens? What about if you find all the pictures?

How many pink (purple) cubes are there?

In Antichamber, I have found little purple cubes in some secret areas. Each time, the little purple cube was alone, started moving as I got closer, and escaped. At least, for one of the two purple cubes I have so far, there was a big digit "2" on a…
