There's a f****** cube over here .. yes a f****** cube!

I don't care if you're a 6.0 gpa student but you can't look straight into the mirror and tell me you see a f***** cube at the base next to the tallest cube.
Look at the original picture where I answer the question and the explanation it gives. Am I supposed to know that there's a f****** cube over there?

Relax. The real test will have clear images and nothing so ambiguous.

Yeah man I hated questions like these. It could go either way, both an empty space or a cube would have looked that way. I just learned to assume that there is a cube there in those situations and I turned out to be right a majority of the time. Thank God I didn't have any these or those damn illusion ones on the exam. Good luck studying.

Calm down... I don't have a 6.0 GPA and I can tell you there is a cube there.

Why? All cubes must be connected to another cube via a face/side. Therefore, there has to be a cube there otherwise the back-right most cube couldn't exist, as it would not be touching another cube's face. Read directions.

Also... wrong forum. Post this in the DAT section, not the pre-dent.

It took me while to realize why you are upset. Yeah it is confusing but for some reason, and before reading your thread, I looked at it as a cube rather than empty space.

LOLOL! Guys, I don't think he's seriously going ape **** right here... no need to calm down. I think he's just being funny. I love your little added comment in the second pic, hah!

Yeah, stuff like this on practice tests is crazy and maddening. They won't do this to you on the real test, though! There aren't "illusions" or anything like that.

Don't study so late, crazy! Unless you're international, 3:35AM in my time zone qualifies as "late" anywhere in the US.

He's right about the connecting, so that should make things easier for you. Also my DAT definitely had 1-2 of these types of "illusion" cube counting, so don't just ignore these types.

 

[Coffeeisamust]

I had ones like this on my DAT. They have to connect! A side of one cube has to connect to the sides of the other cubes, not corners, sides! You will get it bro dozer

Sorry to say, but this is a really easy problem..

If one pat problem makes you go postal, you might want to consider investing in Roche since you may be needing to make purchases by the ton.

The cubes must be continuous, touching faces, not merely along an edge or a corner. In the real world, yes you can argue with or without. In the DAT world, that's how it rolls.

Literally laughed out loud.

Plus there's literally no difference between those damn angles when you look at them on a monitor with a mid-90's max resolution.
