Hm. I might have "cheated" on this. I haven't tried to imagine the actual 2D->3D transformations but instead looked for clues in the 2D images. It's a bit hard to describe - transforming the cutouts in my head so that they match (or obviously differ) in 2D while still giving the same cube.
Did not submit though, since I got tired after the 4th set.
- asher_ 15y agoAll spatial tests are able to be solved with structural techniques rather than spatial ones. We have designed this test in response to that flaw so that when it comes to the harder items it is much more difficult to do so than to use the intended mental transformation and rotation techniques.
- loup-vaillant 15y agoPartially failed with me. I had to think of more and more elaborate transformation techniques over time, however, and apparently that failed for one test (I got 8 out of 9) (I really would have liked to know where I screwed up, though you may be afraid that cheating skews your results). But, to come up with those "cheats", I had to imagine the 3D cube folding before me. Number 6 in particular had me do a more thorough analysis than most (but I still came up with a way to cheat, then used it).
- im3w1l 15y agoI found the easiest way to do this test was to first find something the uniquely determined the the the position and rotation of the cube. Then I would see which edges were adjacent by folding in my head. I would use this to gradually construct a 010 111 010 010 canonical 2d picture of one picture. I would then compare the others to this one. I couldn't hold a 3d picture in memory. 2d and graphs on the other hand.. 8/9 points
