I'm probably the only person on the planet that's having trouble with cube counting...

These questions are supposed to be free points basically, but I always seem to get 1-2 wrong! Hopefully someone can help me out since these are the types of specific questions that I'm having trouble with.

I've counted 3 cubes with 2 sides painted, and 7 cubes with 3 sides painted.
Bootcamp shows that there are only 2 cubes with 2 sides painted, but 8 cubes with 3 sides painted.

That 2 that you have marked in gold is actually a 3, because that stack of cubes juts out from the rest of structure. The "base" of whole figure is a rectangle with a cube sticking out (on the far side) 🙂

EDIT: Not quite a rectangle because there's no cube on the far left side! Sorry!!

Ahhh DUH!! For some reason I didn't make the connection that the cubes on the far right consist of only 2 stacks whereas the middle bunch has 3. Thanks a ton!

No problem at all! I can't tell you how many times I fell for things like that and had to count cubes over again/didn't realize it until it was too late
