Last week I painted a one-foot cube block of wood using 
red paint. Yesterday, I decided to cut this cube into smaller blocks, each 3 inches wide. How many of these smaller cubes had red paint on:
a) 4 of the sides?
b) 3 of the sides?
c) 2 of the sides?
d) 1 of the sides?
e) 0 of the sides?
Feel free to put in your answers below. If no one gets it, I'll stop back later with the answer.
Have a great Sunday everyone and a wonderful week.
I seriously have to stop reading your brain teasers at midnight. I just can't think through them at this time of day.
I have to agree with Lindsey - it seems everytime I come here is right before bed or right after I get up. LOL No thinking power!
I was going to try to do the math, but decided I'll wait for you to come back with the answers;)
Great job, Karen - you are exactly right!!!!
See you next week with some more brain boggling teasers!!!
I don't even know how many bloody 3" cubes you would get out of a one foot cube block.
I should've posted in liters, Jane. So, one foot is 12 inches. And, you all wanted US to convert to the much more difficult increments of 10 thing. It's so much more fun to have to remember all of our strange measures, LOL.
Now I'm beginning to understand some of the comments here - you do love to torture people, LOL.
where is Bill? we need the answers:)))That engineer Naval Academy Brain HELP!:))))
