  1. A die shows 6 on top and 1 facing you. What number is on the bottom?

    Answer: 1

    On a standard die, opposite faces sum to 7. The opposite of 6 is 1. So if 6 is on top, 1 is on the bottom. But the question says 1 is facing you — so 1 is on the front face, not the bottom. The bottom face is opposite to 6 = 1. Wait — opposite of 6 is always 1 on a standard die, so the bottom IS 1.

  2. A shape is made from 5 unit cubes joined face-to-face. It looks like an L-shape from above. What is the minimum number of unit cubes needed?

    Answer: 5

    An L-shape from above requires at least 5 unit cubes: 3 in a row and 2 extending perpendicular from one end, all on the same level.

  3. A mirror is placed along the bottom edge of the letter 'T'. What does the reflection look like when combined with the original?

    Answer: The letter I

    The letter T has a horizontal top and vertical stem. Reflecting along the bottom creates an upside-down T below it. Together, the vertical lines join to form the letter I (a tall vertical line with horizontal bars top and bottom).

  4. How many faces does a triangular prism have?

    Answer: 5

    A triangular prism has 5 faces: 2 triangular ends and 3 rectangular sides.

  5. A compass bearing of 135° corresponds to which direction?

    Answer: South-East

    Compass bearings go clockwise from North (0°). 90° = East, 135° = halfway between East (90°) and South (180°) = South-East.

  6. A cylinder is cut in half horizontally. What shape is the cross-section?

    Answer: Circle

    Cutting a cylinder horizontally (parallel to the base) produces a circular cross-section, identical to the base.
