Calendar Cubes pt 2 (Posted on 2002-09-13) Difficulty: 3 of 5

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").

The lower case is necessary because in order to spell out every month, you'll need 19 different letters (abcdefgjlmnoprstuvy) but you only have 18 faces to put the letters on. However, the "n" can be turned upside down to become a "u". The same goes for "d" and "p".

With these at hand, the blocks can be assigned:

Block 1: a, c, f, n/u, s, v

Block 2: b, d/p, l, m, n/u, t

Block 3: e, g, j, o, r, y
