He called each of these a 'cubatom'. When properly put together they made a 'molecube'. This he said was a perfect cube.
He left me to puzzle over the scene. Before leaving however he did mention that all of the cubes were the right side up (for our purposes the bold numbers in the graphic are those on top.)
The cubes in the graphic are aligned as such:
/\ / \ |\ /| | \/ | \ / \/
So? What was I expected to deduce from this?

Trying to understand the root of the cube

The graphic representation does not seem to conform to the description given. As such, the first deduction is that the puzzle may be too confusing for proper deduction.
What is meant by 2x2x2 and how does the alignment of the molecube described via the slash and back slash characters correspond to the graphic?
