Problem
Six squares are colored, front and back, (R = red, B = blue, O = orange, Y = yellow, G = green, and W = white). They are hinged together as shown, then folded to form a cube. The face opposite the white face is
Solution
Solution 1
When G is arranged to be the base, B is the back face and W is
the front face. Thus, is opposite W.
Solution 2
Let Y be the top and fold G, O, and W down.
Then will fold to become the back face and be
opposite W.
