I believe I can help you with this one. The cubes are set up correctly, it is just a very difficult arrangement. I do not know how to post a pic of it from the program, if you do, please let me know so I can diagram it for you. Anyway, I'll do my best to explain in diction.

The high stack of 3 is in the corner facing you. Moving to the right, there is a stack of 2. Now turn the corner, there is a stack of 2, then stacks of 2 all the way down to the end. Because your viewpoint is elevated, and the stacks of 2 travel in a NW direction, it appears as if they are as tall as the stack of 3, but they are not. Try to look at it this way. I hope this helps. I would love to get a pic of this figure, as it is the most difficult one in Crack PAT, and others should see it.

I see only once cube with two of its sides painted, but That is not the correct answer. What is the correct answer?

Ok, Now I got it! I thought the second row is standing in the air. The answer is 4. I have to say that the drawing is really bad though. I almost got a headache from this problem.

The correct answers are 4-cubes with 2-sides painted. 5-cubes with 3-sides painted, and 2-cubes with 4-sides painted. I really wish I could show a pic, but I'm horrible at MS paint.

Yeah man same here, I was getting dizzy. But yeah, that second row is not floating. Just b/c it travels NW, it looks to be the same height as the front tall stack. The second row has stacks of two....until the last cube single stack on the end.

is it possible for cubes to float (if attached horizontally to another cube)? I had trouble with this problem.

nope. everything starts at ground level and builds up.
