Opaque Cube Puzzle


You are making an opaque cube (ie you cannot see through its sides). It can be any size that you want it to be. Where do you place the cube so that you can see as many sides as possible?

  10. Suspend it or place it on a stand in a room containing several mirrors or a single concave mirror placed opposite the side or corner you are looking at. Also, choosing a smaller cube would allow you too use a realistic size concave mirror.
