Hey guys, im a little confused on the cube counting. If the cubes are connected at an angle, and you cant see behind it, do you have to assume that there is one cube on the floor behind it connecting them.

at the top of this thread is what im talking about, the 2 stacks of 2 cubes are connected at a corner, does that mean i have to assume there is one on the floor connecting all of them....thanks for the help

I really don't understand what you are asking.

If you cannot see a cube, then don't count it. The only exception is if the cube is required to support the standing of another cube. The base of the figure must be flat, and no "floating" cubes.

Yeah your question doesn't make sense to me either. Duckdds is right. A cube you can't see is a cube that doesn't exist, with the exception that there are no 'floating' cubes. Every cube has a cube below it except for the lowest level (obviously).
