Mrs. Jones had some white paint and some green paint, and a bunch of wooden cubes. Her class decided to paint the cubes by making each face either solid white or green. Juan painted his cube with all 6 faces white - Julie painted her cube solid green. Hector painted 4 faces white and 2 faces green. How many cubes could be painted in the fashion, so that each cube is different from the others?

1 answer

The all white or all green can only be one way. The two green-faced sides could either be opposite or adjacent.
