When starting this riddle, first count the blocks you can see. Then think about the blocks you can’t see.
Start by counting the 6 blocks you clearly see. The clever insight is that the number of hidden blocks is equal to the visible blocks at the bottom left of the whole.
So actually, there are 9 dice forming the structure. With this kind of visual riddle, you need to be able to imagine how something looks in 3D and analyze it in detail, while also keeping the hidden parts in mind. Some people see this immediately, while others prefer to use pen and paper to draw it all out.
The trick to solving a riddle is sometimes just looking at something differently, seeing beyond the obvious. Was this a challenge for you? But more importantly, did you see that nine dice were used by not only looking at what you immediately see but also by counting the hidden parts? These kinds of logical exercises are not only good for your gray matter but also super fun to take a break from your daily routine and train your brain. Riddles like these remain exciting and challenging, regardless of your age or background.
