Eight cube nets questions

  1. The net is folded to make a cube, with the symbols on the outside. Which cube could it make?

    A net and cubesGiven: a net of six squares, row by row: row 1: column 1 a small black square; row 2: column 1 a circle with a spot in the middle, column 2 blank, column 3 a black spot; row 3: column 2 a plus sign; row 4: column 2 dotted all over. Options: A: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a plus sign, front right a small black square | B: a cube showing top dotted all over, front left a black spot, front right a plus sign | C: a cube showing top a plus sign, front left blank, front right a black spot | D: a cube showing top blank, front left a plus sign, front right a circle with a spot in the middle | E: a cube showing top a plus sign, front left dotted all over, front right a circle with a spot in the middle.ABCDE

    Answer: B

    Why:

    Faces that are opposite on the cube are never seen together (two squares in a line with one square between them are opposite). In the answer, the dotted face, the black spot and the plus meet at a corner, and they go round it in the same order as on the net.

  2. The net is folded to make a cube, with the symbols on the outside. Which cube could it make?

    A net and cubesGiven: a net of six squares, row by row: row 1: column 1 a cross like ×; row 2: column 1 a circle, column 2 dotted all over; row 3: column 2 a small black square, column 3 a black spot; row 4: column 2 a circle with a spot in the middle. Options: A: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a small black square, front right a circle with a spot in the middle | B: a cube showing top a circle with a spot in the middle, front left a cross like ×, front right a circle | C: a cube showing top dotted all over, front left a cross like ×, front right a black spot | D: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right a small black square | E: a cube showing top a small black square, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right dotted all over.ABCDE

    Answer: A

    Why:

    Faces that are opposite on the cube are never seen together (two squares in a line with one square between them are opposite). In the answer, the black spot, the black square and the circle with a spot meet at a corner, and they go round it in the same order as on the net. One other cube shows the same three the other way round: that is the mirror image.

  3. The net is folded to make a cube, with the symbols on the outside. Which cube could it make?

Options: A: a cube showing top a small black square, front left a black spot, front right a circle with a spot in the middle | B: a cube showing top a small black square, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right a black spot | C: a cube showing top a circle with a spot in the middle, front left blank, front right a black spot | D: a cube showing top a cross like ×, front left a black spot, front right a circle | E: a cube showing top a circle with a spot in the middle, front left a circle, front right a small black square.ABCDE

    Answer: D

    Why:

    Faces that are opposite on the cube are never seen together (two squares in a line with one square between them are opposite). In the answer, the ×, the black spot and the circle meet at a corner, and they go round it in the same order as on the net.

Options: A: a cube showing top a circle with a spot in the middle, front left blank, front right a small black square | B: a cube showing top dotted all over, front left a small black square, front right a plus sign | C: a cube showing top a circle with a spot in the middle, front left a small black square, front right blank | D: a cube showing top a plus sign, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right a small black square | E: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right dotted all over.ABCDE

    Answer: C

    Why:

    Faces that are opposite on the cube are never seen together (two squares in a line with one square between them are opposite). In the answer, the circle with a spot, the black square and the blank face meet at a corner, and they go round it in the same order as on the net. One other cube shows the same three the other way round: that is the mirror image.

  5. The net is folded to make a cube, with the symbols on the outside. Which cube could it make?

    A net and cubesGiven: a net of six squares, row by row: row 1: column 1 a cross like ×; row 2: column 1 a black spot, column 2 a circle; row 3: column 2 a small black square; row 4: column 2 a circle with a spot in the middle, column 3 dotted all over. Options: A: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a circle, front right a small black square | B: a cube showing top a circle, front left a small black square, front right a circle with a spot in the middle | C: a cube showing top a black spot, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right a small black square | D: a cube showing top a circle, front left a circle with a spot in the middle, front right a small black square | E: a cube showing top a cross like ×, front left a black spot, front right a circle with a spot in the middle.ABCDE

    Answer: E

    Why:

    Faces that are opposite on the cube are never seen together (two squares in a line with one square between them are opposite). In the answer, the black square, the dotted face and the blank face meet at a corner, and they go round it in the same order as on the net.
