Test # 3

Problem 70-72

Can someone explain how you count the cubes? I don't understand which sides of it are painted and where the "illusion". I don't understand how they count only 2 with four shaded sides. I keep getting three. (The two outer ones on the top row and the top right one on the back "handle" part)

Also on 73-75

This figure is just weird. I don't get what it's supposed to be and I certainly don't understand how they counted their cubes. Does the real PAT have weird things like these which are confusing to see?

Thanks!

the ones in the top left are the only with four. the ones in the front go 3-3-5 counting up. Only one column has three stacked, the rest are two box columns. viewed from above, figure is a reverse "L". recall no boxes can "float"

just follow the bottom row to see the base of the figure. the whole bottom row is on the same plane (touching the floor!)
Thanks!

the real dat has no illusions ( for the most part) plus u can figure this out by thinkin how 2 cubes can support all those? its impossible if you think about it. just be careful everyone trips up on these.

But on that first one, how many total cubes are there then? Is there a second full row? If so, then wouldn't there be 4 cubes with four sides? If not, then how are there 5 cubes with three sides painted? This one's too confusing to understand! I'm sorry!


And on that second one, what's with that blank panel thing? What goes on with that? Is it painted on the outside and some of the cubes are missing face or what? How'd they count 12 with three sides?


Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I kept making two FULL rows instead of having the left one be one longer than the right one.

Are the Cube Counting rules just that the whole thing must be continuous? Wouldn't it have been continuous without the two hidden cubes ?
