Devilish Cubes (Posted on 2009-07-27) Difficulty: 3 of 5
I once was presented with a set of 4 cubes each having a different net configuration.

The object was to place the cubes in a line such that no face within any of the four rectangles so formed contained the same colour within that rectangle.
Then too, no colour was orthogonally adjacent to a face of the same colour in an adjoining rectangle.
Lastly the end faces of the composite prism were both different to each other and not repeated within the rectangular faces.

A B C D
4 2 1 6
3 3 3 3
5 2 3 1 4 6 4 2 2 2 4 4
4 5 5 5
j k l m
A A A A A A
       
       
       
Caution: This is not an on-line interactive presentation.

The table above shows a set of cubic nets. Replace j, k, l & m with an appropriate label A, B, C or D to indicate the net used.

Additionally add just one digit to each cell in compliance with those nets so that each row along with the end values contains unique values.
