Competition practiceDice & Cubes
  • A(a)
  • B(c)
  • C(b)
  • D(d)

Step-by-Step Solution

In a run of four squares that turns like a Z or a staircase, the two end squares fold onto opposite faces: 4–1–5–6 gives 4 opposite 6, 1–5–6–2 gives 1 opposite 2, and 5–6–2–3 gives 5 opposite 3. Die (c) shows 4 and 6 side by side, so it is impossible; (a), (b) and (d) all fold correctly.
Answer: B) (c)
