Cube counting Illusion

How do you know if there are tubes at the red area?
Either way it would look the SAME!

Please help. thanks!

I have no idea either! Does anyone know for sure??

If the area is shaded the same color as the other cubes, then that is a cube. Since it is even with the second tier, it must have a cube underneath since there are no "floating" cubes. Thus, there are two cubes in that area.

If there wasn't a cube there, the red part wouldn't be blue in the next picture--it'd just be white.

CDP says there's NO cube there, and the blue color comes from the side wall of the tallest tower.

Very tricky. I don't think this sort of question could actually pop up for real though - there's no way you could know it was one way or the other. The angle of the tower is such that it looks like both at the same time: you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right.

CDP is simply wrong here. It happens with that program. There should be a cube there, along with one underneath it since there are no "floating" cubes.

Haha, don't you love it when they confuse you like that?! You'd think they would have more people check over study resources before selling them to the public (and it isn't just CDP who is guilty of this).
