This puzzle is a sophisticated part of a Professional IQ Intelligence Test, designed to evaluate your Spatial Logic and Visual Elimination skills. Mastering these mental rotations is a premium form of Brain Fitness that supports Cognitive Health and Healthy Aging. Solution Logic: 1. Process of Elimination (Spotting the Errors): Let's use the "Opposite Face" rule to check the options. We will use the White face as our reference (the Front): Option A (Incorrect): Look at the unfolded pattern A. The Dark Blue square is positioned at the far end, separated from the White square. When you fold this pattern, the Dark Blue square will end up at the "Back" (directly opposite the White face). Since the target image shows the Blue face on "Top," Option A is incorrect. Option B (Incorrect): Look at pattern B. Following the same logic, the Dark Blue square is too far from the White one. When folded, the Dark Blue square will also end up at the "Back" of the White face. Since it cannot be on the "Top," Option B is also incorrect. Option C (Incorrect): Look at pattern C. The Yellow square is separated from the White square by another block. According to the rule "Separated by one square means they are Opposites," the Yellow face will end up "Opposite" the White face. However, the target image shows the Yellow face on the "Right," so Option C is incorrect. 2. Confirming the Correct Option (Mental Rotation): Option D (Correct): Structure: White is in the center, Yellow is attached above, and Dark Blue is attached to the left. Mental Folding: Imagine keeping White as the Front. The Yellow square folds back to become the Top, and the Blue square folds back to become the Left. Rotation Verification: At this stage, you have a cube with Front=White, Top=Yellow, Left=Blue. Now, imagine rotating this cube 90 degrees clockwise. The Blue face moves from the left to the Top, and the Yellow face moves from the top to the Right, while White remains at the Front. Conclusion: This perfectly matches the target image (Top=Blue, Front=White, Right=Yellow). Stay Sharp Tip: A simple rule to remember is: "If two squares are separated by one, they will never touch." They will always be on opposite sides of the cube. Learning this trick helps you solve spatial puzzles much faster!
