Answer 15

okay let me try ..
you should try to imagine the combinations on two planes and then multiply by 6
on two planes i get 4 -considering that no two touch each other or overlap
and then multiply them by 6 you get 24 in total i hope you understand ......
you just need to think that the cube is not rigid .... im sorry i bet you didnt understand .. it is all based on thinking
