short keyhole test for you

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm not to sure about my answers since I rushed but here you go.

here is what I got
B,C,D,E,B,D,A,B,C,D,D,A,D,D, I wasn't really sure about #8 and I also saw five two's. The more responses we get the better the chances of knowing what the right answers are.

5 two sided cubes

and um i think we are to assume that there is a block there as all the cubes must be 'glued' together. and without that block it would be two free satnding structures

Are we supposed to assume a block hidden behind the 4-block tower? You can justify either way so how do you know to assume or not?

yea i had a question about that one too, forgot to post it, anyways..
for this one, the question is how many cubes have 3 of their sides showing?
I got 6 cubes but they say 9 !!

according to the rules you don't assume there is a cube in a hidden area unless it needs to be there ie. if there are cubes on top row and the bottom row is hidden there must be cubes in that hidded area "supporting" the cubes above them cuz cubes can't stand on air, so for this one there is absolutely no need for a cube to be behind that tower, you would have to add 2 more cubes behind the tower to get 9 cubes with 3 faces showing, but that's against the rules, isn't it??? so I don't get it

I do believe that the object must be continuous, that is it is a single object so that block is necessary to connect the two separate block figures into one. such that if one were to theoretically pick up the object, they could do it but grabbing any one cube and lift the entire object.

The object is supposed to be one continuous single entity. If you assume the block is there, you get 9 blocks that show 3 sides.
 
okay now it makes sense, thanks tinman and JTSL.... just one single object
and No jp370, i don't have the answer key that's why i asked sdn
 
Hey guys, on problem #15 (the last one on the set) how and why did you get D and not C? I see the D but also see the C part. What am i missing? Thanks

BTW IM a first time poster on here. 🙂
 
Because when looking from that direction the block isn't a full oval. The point of keyhole is to not only fit the object through but also do so without any wasted space. If you look at that block from that direction it would look somewhat like A.
