Which Part Is Missing? Here’s the Correct Answer!
At first glance, this puzzle looks simple—but it’s designed to test your 3D visualization skills. Instead of focusing on individual colors, you need to imagine how the missing cube fits into the larger Rubik’s Cube.
Step 1: Look at the Three Visible Faces
The large cube shows three outer faces:
- 🔵 Top face = Blue
- 🟢 Left face = Green
- 🟠 Right face = Orange
The missing piece sits at the top-front corner where these three faces meet.
That means the missing cube must contain:
- a blue top face,
- a green side,
- and an orange side.
Step 2: Compare the Options
🅰️ Option A
- Top = Green ❌
Since the entire top of the cube is blue, this piece cannot fit.
🅱️ Option B ✅
- Top = Blue ✅
- Remaining faces = Green and Orange ✅
This is the only option that has the correct three colors needed for the missing corner piece. When rotated into place, it matches the surrounding faces perfectly.
🅲 Option C
- Top = Green ❌
Again, the top face is the wrong color, so it cannot be the missing cube.
Why Many People Choose the Wrong Answer
A common mistake is paying attention only to the side colors.
The trick is that the top face of the missing cube must continue the blue top surface. Once you notice that, Options A and C can immediately be eliminated because they both have a green top.
That leaves only Option B.
The Secret to Solving These Cube Puzzles
Whenever you see a missing cube puzzle:
- Identify the colors of the surrounding faces.
- Determine which colors must appear on the missing cube.
- Check the top face first—it’s often the quickest way to eliminate incorrect answers.
- Finally, imagine rotating the cube into position.
Final Answer
✅ B
The missing corner piece must have a blue top with the remaining visible faces matching the cube’s green and orange sides. Option B is the only piece that satisfies those conditions, making it the correct answer.
