Puzzle of the Week

Week #5


     Every cube has six sides. The groups of dots on a die range from 1 to 6, with a different number on each side. In front of you sits a stack of four dice. Some of the sides of these four dice can be seen, while others cannot. Your challenge this week is to add up all the dots on the sides of the dice that you cannot see.

(HINT: The sum of the opposite sides on a die is always 7. For example, if you were looking at the side with 5 dots, the opposite side would have to have 2 dots on it, and so on.
