Strange Cubes

[pulp_fiction]

Does anyone know how we're supposed to visualize what the cubes actually look like in weird problems like the ones posted below?? I'm pretty good with PAT but always thrown off when I see stuff like this. Also has anyone who's already taken the DAT actually seen any weird cube formations on their test?! I feel like I'm entering the hyperspace every time I get a problem like this on cube counting...

Where did you find these? I've never been anything like this on Bootcamp

Achiever... there's not many like this on Bootcamp but I've seen at least 1 or 2

EDIT: Forget what I just said!!!!! if you look very closely you can count individual cubes. Just have some patience lol.

these questions are so broken

1st stack: #1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 10, 11
2nd stack: # 4, 6, 9, 13
3rd stack: # 5

Hint:Cube #8 has three sides painted. One of its sides is blocked from the view by Cube #13.
Hint: Hidden cube (one side painted) right below Cube #6.

There is also a cube below Cube #4, but that one has 0 side painted since it's blocked completely.

These cubes are so illusional indeed

Cube #1 = 3rd stack
Cube #2 , 4, 6 on 2nd
Cube #3, 5, 7,8,9 on 1st floor.

GL!

Also for figure C, there is a hidden cube right below Cube # 4. That hidden cube has TWO sides painted.

Another hidden cube, with two sides painted, below Cube #2.
I hope the numbering helped

My friend, you're incredible.

I've heard they do not have these illusion type questions on the PAT

Crack Dat Pat has some of these problems too if you are looking for more practice!
