Problem One: Cutting Cubes
Nov 15th, 2006 by Percy
You have a three inch by three inch cube whose outside surface is painted blue. If you cut the cube into smaller cubes each with 1 inch dimensions, and you throw the new smaller cubes onto a mat, what’s the probability that the top surface of every cube will be blue?
given the condition (if i understood them correctly)you have to get all blue at the top of the cubes right.. ??!
Zero probability..
because in the middle of the cube, there will be a part
that cannot be painted blue..
0 divided by 6 faces of cube..
will always be zero.
so what every probability for the remaining 26 cubes..
when you multiply them by zero, it will result to zero.
Am i Right..?
I agree with mark - 0 because of the center cube.
