Ok so i did the crackdat pat and there are two pictures in particular that im not too sure of...i thought that if you couldnt see it it didnt exist...however take a look at this picture

it says there are 9 three siders...because they count one square you cant see (however i suppose without that square the whole tower wouldnt really be cemented toegther...but it also assumes there is a sqaure in the back of the tall tower...how are you supposed to knwo thats a square and not a whole!!???

Question has been asked a lot before. I think they tried to put cubes corner to corner, but I don't think you can do that.

I counted 15 cubes. I think they count 14.

Yeah had the same problem a couple of days ago. Undergradguy is right that there are 15, only they DO count 15. The consensus is you can't have cubes connected by corners. Thus the CDP answer is correct.

Well then how come on CDP they said that there are 3 cubes with 2 sides painted in this picture...and the only way that could be is if the two toweers are indeed attached by the corners
