Discussion
Consider the following pictures of dice :
(The four pictures show the same die. Picture I shows the faces 6, 3 and 2; picture II shows 6, 2 and 4; picture III shows 5, 6 and 4; picture IV shows 1, 4 and 2.)
What is the number opposite to 3 ?
Answer: B
The number opposite 3 is 4.
Numbers seen together on a picture are adjacent, never opposite.
- 6 is seen with 3, 2, 4 (I, II) and 5 (III), so 6 is opposite 1.
- 2 is seen with 6, 3, 4 (I, II) and 1 (IV), so 2 is opposite 5.
The remaining pair, 3 and 4, must be opposite each other. 1 is opposite 6 and 5 opposite 2, and the data are sufficient.
A die has three pairs of opposite faces; once two pairs are found, the third is whatever is left.
