From the four positions of a dice given below, find the color which is opposite to yellow?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: (Assume four images of a dice showing colors are provided).
Step 2: Identify all colors that are adjacent to 'yellow' from all given positions of the dice.
Step 3: The solution states: "The colours adjacent to yellow are orange, blue, red and rose."
Step 4: A dice has 6 faces. If 'yellow' is on one face, and four other colors (orange, blue, red, rose) are adjacent to it, then these five colors cannot be opposite to yellow.
Step 5: By elimination, the only remaining color (from a typical set of 6 colors used in such problems, or from the options provided) must be opposite to yellow. The remaining color is 'Violet'.
Step 6: Conclude that 'Violet' is the color opposite to yellow.

The image displays four distinct positions of a die. Determine the number on the face directly opposite to the face showing 6.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Compare figures (i) and (iii). Both figures show the number '5' as a common face.
Step 2: In figure (i), moving clockwise from 5, the numbers are 4, then 3.
Step 3: In figure (iii), moving clockwise from 5, the numbers are 6, then 2.
Step 4: According to the common face rule, if a common face is in the same relative position (or if we trace clockwise), the numbers in corresponding positions are opposite to each other. Thus, 4 is opposite 6, and 3 is opposite 2.
Step 5: The remaining numbers are 1 and 5, so 1 is opposite 5.
Step 6: Based on this consistent set of opposite pairs ((1-5), (2-3), (4-6)), the number on the face opposite 6 is 4.

From the two provided positions of a single dice, numbered 1 through 6, determine the number opposite 3.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Observe the two given positions of the dice.
Step 2: Identify the visible faces in Figure (i): 5, 2, 6.
Step 3: Identify the visible faces in Figure (ii): 5, 1, 4.
Step 4: From Figure (i), the numbers adjacent to 5 are 2 and 6.
Step 5: From Figure (ii), the numbers adjacent to 5 are 1 and 4.
Step 6: Combining these observations, the numbers 1, 2, 4, and 6 are all adjacent to 5.
Step 7: A standard dice has 6 faces with numbers 1 through 6. If 1, 2, 4, 6 are adjacent to 5, then the only remaining number, 3, must be opposite to 5.
Step 8: Therefore, the number opposite 3 is 5.

Given four positions of a dice, determine the number on the bottom face when the dice is in position (iii).
0:00
Solution: Step 1: In Figure (iii), the top face is 3. We need to find the number opposite 3, which will be at the bottom face.
Step 2: To find the opposite of 3, we can identify all numbers adjacent to it from the given figures.
Step 3: Examine Figure (i), where 4, 5, and 6 are visible. This indicates 5 and 6 are adjacent to 4.
Step 4: Examine Figure (ii), where 1, 4, and 2 are visible. This indicates 1 and 2 are adjacent to 4.
Step 5: Examine Figure (iv), where 5, 2, and 4 are visible. This indicates 5 and 2 are adjacent to 4.
Step 6: Combining observations from Figures (i), (ii), and (iv), the numbers 1, 2, 5, and 6 are all adjacent to 4.
Step 7: On a six-faced dice, if 1, 2, 5, 6 are adjacent to 4, then the only remaining number, 3, must be opposite to 4.
Step 8: Therefore, 3 is opposite 4.
Step 9: Since 3 is at the top in Figure (iii), the number at the bottom face must be 4.

Given two positions of a dice, how many points will be on the top when 2 points are at the bottom?
0:00
Solution: Step 1: (Assume two images of a dice showing points are provided, e.g., View A: (Top:3, Front:2, Right:5) and View B: (Top:3, Front:1, Right:4)).
Step 2: Identify the common face and its position in both views. From the assumed views, '3 points' is common and is in the same relative position (e.g., both are on top).
Step 3: Apply the dice rule: When a common face is in the same position in two different views of a dice, the other faces in corresponding positions are opposite to each other.
Step 4: Compare the faces: In View A, '2 points' is in the front position. In View B, '1 point' is in the front position.
Step 5: Therefore, '2 points' is opposite to '1 point'.
Step 6: Conclude that if 2 points are at the bottom, then 1 point will be on the top.

From the displayed positions of a cube, determine which letter will be found on the face directly opposite to the face marked with 'A'.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Observe the given positions of the cube and the letters visible on its faces.
Step 2: Identify all letters that are shown on faces adjacent to 'A' in any of the provided views.
Step 3: The explanation states that 'The letters of the adjacent faces to the face with letter A, are B, F, C and E.'
Step 4: Since a standard cube has six faces, and four faces (B, F, C, E) are adjacent to 'A', the one remaining face must be opposite to 'A'.
Step 5: Therefore, the letter 'D' is on the face opposite to 'A'.

Given two positions of a dice, determine the number that will be at the top when 2 is at the bottom.
0:00
Solution: Step 1: Observe the two given positions of the dice.
Step 2: Identify the common number visible in both positions, which is '3'.
Step 3: From the common number (3), trace the visible faces in a clockwise direction for both figures.
Step 4: In Figure (i), starting from 3 and moving clockwise: 3 -> 5 -> 2.
Step 5: In Figure (ii), starting from 3 and moving clockwise: 3 -> 6 -> 1.
Step 6: By comparing the sequences, the numbers at corresponding positions are opposite to each other. Thus, 5 is opposite 6, and 2 is opposite 1.
Step 7: The remaining number, 4, must be opposite the common face, 3.
Step 8: So, the opposite pairs are (5 vs 6), (2 vs 1), and (3 vs 4).
Step 9: The question asks for the number at the top when 2 is at the bottom. Since 2 is opposite 1, the number at the top will be 1.
