Opposite faces

Fold a flat cross of six marked squares into a cube in your head, then say which mark ends up on the far side.

No time limit. The square in question is outlined, never coloured differently.

What is on the far side?

A flat cross of six squares folds up into a cube. One square is outlined. Work out which mark ends up on the face opposite it once the net is folded, and pick that mark.

How to play

Six squares are laid out flat in a cross. Folded up, they make a cube.

One square is outlined. Pick the mark that ends up on the face opposite it.

A shortcut: two squares that touch on the flat net fold into faces that meet at a corner, so they can never be opposite each other. That rules out several answers before you fold anything.

The outlined square's own mark is never offered, because a face cannot be opposite itself.

There is no time limit.
