    A cpian has two cubes on his desk with one number written on each face. Every day he arranges the cubes So that the front faces shows the todays date of the month example 17 wil be [1] in the first cube and [7] in the second cube So the question is What numbers are on the faces of the cubes which enables this? Hint:You don't need a rubik's intelligence to solve this think outside the cube Note: You have to use both cubes at all time. So the 4th day would be "04" 0 in one cube and 4 on the other

        I was sitting here with 0,1,2,3,4,5 0,2,3,6,7,8 and thinking where the hell does 9 fit? LOL, thanks for solving that for me genius.

                              A cpian has two cubes on his desk with one number written on each face. Every day he arranges the cubes So that the front faces shows the todays date of the month example 17 wil be [1] in the first cube and [7] in the second cube So the question is What numbers are on the faces of the cubes which enables this? Hint:You don't need a rubik's intelligence to solve this think outside the cube Note: You have to use both cubes at all time. So the 4th day would be "04" 0 in one cube and 4 on the other

                                    One cube has the series 0,1,2,3,4,5. The other has the series 1,2,3,4,5,6 1st day of month you show -> 01 .. 7th day of month you show -> 11 .. 13th day of month you show -> 21 .. 19th day of month you show -> 31 .. 25th day of month you show -> 41 .. 31st day of month you show -> 51 It's simple if you understand base 6 for numbers. :)
