Can anyone explain me why D is not correct? If you fold it upwards/towards you so that the "5" is on the bottom that answer is possible....

Is there a way you have to fold these structures like upwards or backwards?

The answer is B.

I understand that but why cant it be D? The way I folded it to make a cube it can certainly be D..

Does it initially have to be folded so that the 5 is on top?

 

[blackberryman]

Ohhhh you fold inwards. I was reading other PAT threads and they mentioned to always fold inwards...

Why doesn't kaplan or anyone say that....jeez

 

[DrRoyal Pains]

Ha, yea dude. I was actually going to say that. Never fold outwards.

I was wondering the samething. If it weren't for this thread I probably wouldn't have known this.

If D were the answer then the 2 dot side would be on the L of the cube and the 1 dot side would be on the R of the cube with the 4 dots on top

What is everyone talking about "folding inwards" vs "outwards"
