<p>The</a> Official SAT Question of the Day</p>
<p>Anyone care to explain?</p>
<p>total number of sides in a cube=6</p>
<p>count how many (unique) shapes are shown altogether between the two=5</p>
<p>6-5=1 left :)</p>
<p>A cube has six faces and six are shown. However, one of them repeats meaning out of the six faces only 5 different ones are actually shown. Meaning only 1 face is not shown.</p>
<p>So the answer is 1.</p>
<p>So 5 of the faces in each cubes are shown similarly, just one of the view in each of the cubes have a different meaning? (the other one with another circle)</p>
<p>it is the same cube in each picture, so just count each shape that they show (star, circle, + sign, shaded square, non-shaded square). since there are 6 sides total in a cube, and you can see 5 distinct shapes, there is only left. the second cube is just rotated from the first view</p>
<p>I think you misread it.</p>
<p>In the figure above, two views of the SAME cube are shown. If each face of the cube has a DIFFERENT symbol on it, how many faces of the cube have not been shown in either view?</p>
<p>A cube has 6 sides. Each side has a different symbol. 5 symbols are shown. Therefore, one is not shown</p>
<p>^ Oooh, I get it now.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>I guess i think differently then you guys. All I did was a obvious method. </p>
<p>The first Image was on one side, then the second was turned, then put upside down showing a new image. Now i all i did was replaced the new images with the old one, and saw one side was missing so I put one. It’s kinda hard to explain but that’s the best way i can put it.</p>
<p>no that’s just too confusing. The pictures are two views of the same cube. There is 5 different faces and a cube has 6 faces. 6-5 = 1 hidden face.</p>
