Okay, you've figured out how to display all of the days of the month using two cubes in
"Calendar Cubes". Now here's your next challenge:
Spell the months of the year with a letter on each face of three cubes. Use lowercase three-letter English abbreviations for the names of all twelve months (e.g., "jan", "feb", "mar").
(In reply to
Solution by Joni)
Consider the folloing three months: jan, jun, aug. if each letter is used once only (d and p being represented by a single letter, then the a in jan must be on the same cube as the u in jun. But in aug, they must be on separate cubes. Fortunately the n in jan and jun can be reversed to form the u in aug, so we are not lost yet.
I am still working on the complete soution and will hopefully have it tonight to post.
