Tumbling squares
(Red)Each corner matches
up by number or colour to the opposite corner so bottom
left matches up to top
right and so on all 8 corners become 4 lines of opposition.
One of them is not even
visible as it hides behind another line. All four corners.
(Green) The North face
will match up to the South face of the next side and then
the West face of the side
after that which is the East side of the final face before
returning to the North
once more to begin a new cycle. North, South West and East.
So in order to place the
buildings blocks you know that the centre is completed as a
cross so all 7 cubes will
be the same. You know all 8 corners are made up of their
opposite number/colour. So
North, South, East, West and Centre are covered and
the only numbers/colours
you need to fill in the gaps can be worked out by filling
in the top of the cube
first ….you already have …
Grey in the top left
corner from grey in the bottom right corner of the face,
white in the top right
hand corner from white in the bottom left hand corner of
the face, yellow at
centre, blue from the north position of the original face and
the three bottom positions
are the same as the three top of the original face. So now
we just have two gaps to
fill lefts do the left hand middle missing cube this can only be
one of two remaining
colours/numbers which are 3 green and 7 red and when we look
at the original face of
the 27 piece cube we see 3 green is middle left therefore it cannot
belong on the left of the
top of the cube or it would be producing two of the same cubes
on the left hand side face
so this tells us that 3 green goes into the middle top position
and 7 red goes into the
middle left. You have now completed to faces of the six faces
of the cube and can easily
complete the others by using this same format. Have fun
making up the other five
sides of this cube. x
