Question types: Fold the cube

Rule: Cube nets

A cube has 6 faces. Faces with one face between them in a row of the net are opposite each other on the cube.

You never see two opposite faces at once: you see at most three faces, which meet at one corner.

Example: A row ★ ● ■ ▲ in a net: on the cube ★ is opposite ■ and ● is opposite ▲.

Watch out: Two faces next to each other in the net cannot be opposite: once folded, they touch.
