Solid cube is freshly painted in 6 colors (like Rubik's)?

Question

When the cube placed on a large sheet of paper, the wet paint will imprint a colored square on paper. The cube can be flipped over any of four bottom edges, imprinting another color in adjacent square.

Using chess notation, if we place the cube on square d4, is it possible to paint e4 in the same color as d4, flipping the cube as descibed above?

Answer 1

Yes. d4 and e4 are directly next to each other. Set the cube down on d4. Flip it to d3 or d5 (that is, either direction but not to c4 which would be directly away from e4). Flip it from there to e3 (if you chose d3) or e5 (if you chose d5) and then to e4. e4 will be the same color as d4. In either case, you upend the cube so the painted side from d4 is still facing d4, then you roll it so that color still faces that direction but now in row e, and finally you set the colored face back down on e4.

Answer 2

hey, if you pay attention to the rubix cube, you'd probably find a pattern. im no genius or anything but i do have experience bcz i finished a couple. be4 when i didn't understand the pattern it took me days but when i did just mere hours would do! but the key thing is theres a pattern and when you figure the pattern out it'll be easy as pie! the message above was to give you a hint on how to solve the rubx cube but if you really can't wait you can try asking for help on google or any of your preffered search engine! Good luck, GoG

Answer 3

Yes. Flip the cube to d5, then e5, then to e4 in the obvious ways.

Try this with a 6 sided die on a chess board to see what happens.

Answer 4

Yes, if I understood correctly. You flip it from d4 to d3 to e3 to e4.
