Question 1

A die shows 6 on top and 1 facing you. What number is on the bottom?

Accepted Answer

1

Answer

On a standard die, opposite faces sum to 7. The opposite of 6 is 1. So if 6 is on top, 1 is on the bottom. But the question says 1 is facing you — so 1 is on the front face, not the bottom. The bottom face is opposite to 6 = 1. Wait — opposite of 6 is always 1 on a standard die, so the bottom IS 1.

Question 2

A shape is made from 5 unit cubes joined face-to-face. It looks like an L-shape from above. What is the minimum number of unit cubes needed?

Accepted Answer

5

Answer

An L-shape from above requires at least 5 unit cubes: 3 in a row and 2 extending perpendicular from one end, all on the same level.

Question 3

A mirror is placed along the bottom edge of the letter 'T'. What does the reflection look like when combined with the original?

Accepted Answer

The letter I

Answer

The letter T has a horizontal top and vertical stem. Reflecting along the bottom creates an upside-down T below it. Together, the vertical lines join to form the letter I (a tall vertical line with horizontal bars top and bottom).

Question 4
