In Block Counting, hidden blocks are inferred from what visual cue?

Accepted Answer

The overall shape and steps of the stack

The staircase structure of the pile lets you deduce blocks hidden behind the visible faces.

Question 3

A target block at the outer corner of a solid layer (not interior, on the floor) touches at most how many blocks?

Accepted Answer

Three

A floor corner block has two adjacent sides and a top, so it touches up to three blocks.

Question 4

Why is careful counting more reliable than estimating in Block Counting?

Accepted Answer

Answer choices are often close in value, so estimates cause errors

Answer

Distractor answers cluster near the correct count, so methodical counting avoids near-miss mistakes.

Four

Answer

A floor edge block has three sides plus a top exposed to neighbors, touching up to four blocks.
