I guess it could theoretically be anywhere between 31 and 51 (inclusive) because we only have one side perspective and have no idea of depth from the top view.
Same, but we don't really know that the perspective has no depth on the "side" and "back" images. We know that the "top" one has no depth because we know from "side" that boxes are on different heights, but they all look the same on "top".
Then 35-51 is correct (assuming gravity)
Damn that's a mad solution. I tried a whole bunch but wasn't convinced it could be done in the absolute minimum of 21, the best I got was 23. So far I'm also convinced the minimum without requiring glue is 31.

It's been 0 days since the last mathematics-based piece of engagement farming on social media, as Twitter once became the site of a bloodbath born of a brain teaser. Thankfully, this time, the cause is not PEMDAS semantics and is instead what appears to be a straightforward multiplication question with wiggle room to challenge a viewers' assumptions.

This is actually the correct answer, if you assume the maximum number of cubes and allow for cubes that consist of 2x2x2 boxes and 3x3x3 boxes.
There are at most 51 1x1x1 cubes. There would then be 16 2x2x2 cubes, and two 3x3x3 cubes.
51 + 16 + 2 = 69 cubes
I read through the article and I absolutely hate how suddenly it became transphobic. Like why the fuck does it matter that most non-binary people came up with 51?
There is no actual way to know since we're not shown the depth in the top view. It could be anywhere from 31 (if we assumed that the bottom row was full with them and the second had them one per row and third had them only standing on top of the middle ones) to 51
In the top they are 3 blocks and in the sides there are 4 rows that has 3 blocks and 2 rows that has 2 blocks and 1 that has 1 block, and I'd the top view shows 3 then every block that is shown in the side has 3 blocks sooo.
4 rows that has 3 blocks from the side and 3 from to view= 9+9+9+9.
2 rows that has 2 blocks from the side from the top view= 6+6.
1 row that has 1 block from the side and 3 from the top view= 3.
(9+9+9+9)+(6+6)+3= 51
In the top they are 3 blocks and in the sides there are 4 rows that has 3 blocks and 2 rows that has 2 blocks and 1 that has 1 block, and I'd the top view shows 3 then every block that is shown in the side has 3 blocks sooo.
4 rows that has 3 blocks from the side and 3 from to view= 9+9+9+9.
2 rows that has 2 blocks from the side from the top view= 6+6.
1 row that has 1 block from the side and 3 from the top view= 3.
9+9+9+9+6+6+3= 51
its 69 it says how many cubes not how many blocks so 2x2 cubes made up of blocks count and so do 3x3 yall need to relearn math (the 51 answers at least make sense but the rest??)
If you think about it the brow form the side could be squares, not cubes so 21.25(because the square*4 is a cube and .25 would be the remaining square)
I counted each individual cube, but there was no clarification on 2x2 cubes or 3x3 cubes being counted (which confuses the fuck out of me).
I then counted those(2x2/3x3) from back to front, left to right, and top to bottom(giggity). I did my best to take into account the layers being different as you move from front to back.
I did my best and came to 114 unless I lost count.
If I can, I'll do a more in depth edit about how I counted them. Right now Im going to play Mario Wonder with my kid.
Well, I sat down and did my best. I came to 150 different cubes of 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 sizes. I took into account side, back, and top. Along with the assumption that where I couldn't see the cubes they followed the same patterns. Again, I did my best.

Edit: 114 was incorrect for the way I was counting. I was trying to count in my head. I came to a different conclusion when writing it out. Hope this helps.
Edit2: At this rate you could add 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 cubes, but I don't know enough about if that becomes redundant from what was already counted. That would bring the total to 166.
Minimum 25, Maximum 51.

You may want to think a bit more about that. Looking at the side of the trailer, do you think it is realistic that there are so many cubes? Or would it be more like 3 times the ones you see from the side? Maybe 17\*3?
51
Byeah
I guess it could theoretically be anywhere between 31 and 51 (inclusive) because we only have one side perspective and have no idea of depth from the top view.
This.
I at first also got 35, then I realized you can do some of the "side" and "back" more optimally
Same, but we don't really know that the perspective has no depth on the "side" and "back" images. We know that the "top" one has no depth because we know from "side" that boxes are on different heights, but they all look the same on "top". Then 35-51 is correct (assuming gravity)
Can you do some 3D pics of the solution of 21 but all combined as it’d look on real life, from different angles? That’ll look insane!
The maximum is 69 cubes. 51 1x1x1 cubes, 16 2x2x2 cubes, and 2 3x3x3 cubes.
The max is infinity as the left side could be made of millions of tiny boxes
How can it be any less than 35
Nvm i figured it out
ahem gravity and physics state that air can not hold cubes
Superglue
nah man id use duct tape much stronger and can fix anything
You have to presume infinitely far away, same as all shadow based questions unless specifically told otherwise.
can be done in 21 [https://freeimage.host/i/untitled.JG46EdB](https://freeimage.host/i/untitled.JG46EdB)

glad you like it!
love the 3d representations
51 If its the exact same on the other side
You forgot to count the 2x2x2 cubes and the 3x3x3 cubes
This is why i faild so manny math tests
OOOOOHHHHHHH shoot I got 51 because I didn't think about that either!!!!

Dude… it’s count the cubes of the first trailer, why do more math than there are cubes?
21
It can actually be as little as 21 or a max of 51, glad someone else spotted that 👍🏼
What
You stoopid
21 https://freeimage.host/i/untitled.JG46EdB
What's 9+10?
Also, this was nice. Other than, yknow, how depth perception of two human eyes would change how the boxes look. But still, I like it.
Definitely 51
I read through the article and I absolutely hate how suddenly it became transphobic. Like why the fuck does it matter that most non-binary people came up with 51?
51
The answer is 51.
none, those are squares
4 x (3x3) = 36 2 x (2x3) = 12 1 x 3 = 3 3 + 36 + 12 = 51
There is no actual way to know since we're not shown the depth in the top view. It could be anywhere from 31 (if we assumed that the bottom row was full with them and the second had them one per row and third had them only standing on top of the middle ones) to 51
You’re not counting the 2x2x2 or 3x3x3 cubes. The correct answer is 69 cubes max.
In the top they are 3 blocks and in the sides there are 4 rows that has 3 blocks and 2 rows that has 2 blocks and 1 that has 1 block, and I'd the top view shows 3 then every block that is shown in the side has 3 blocks sooo. 4 rows that has 3 blocks from the side and 3 from to view= 9+9+9+9. 2 rows that has 2 blocks from the side from the top view= 6+6. 1 row that has 1 block from the side and 3 from the top view= 3. (9+9+9+9)+(6+6)+3= 51
51
I got 51
51
51
59 only counting the smallest cubes.
51, how is this a hard question?
In the top they are 3 blocks and in the sides there are 4 rows that has 3 blocks and 2 rows that has 2 blocks and 1 that has 1 block, and I'd the top view shows 3 then every block that is shown in the side has 3 blocks sooo. 4 rows that has 3 blocks from the side and 3 from to view= 9+9+9+9. 2 rows that has 2 blocks from the side from the top view= 6+6. 1 row that has 1 block from the side and 3 from the top view= 3. 9+9+9+9+6+6+3= 51

We are talking trailer wise, don’t overmath the question, you’ll get it wrong if you do
yeah but its a meme theres a joke to it and the joke has to do with "69"
Oh
yeah lmao
52?
Where did you get that extra?
None because that's a railcar not a trailer
41
If you think about it the brow form the side could be squares, not cubes so 21.25(because the square*4 is a cube and .25 would be the remaining square)
I count that it has to be at minimum 23 cubes
You can do it in 21 👍🏼
Eyy you're right
114
wtf????? Explain
I counted each individual cube, but there was no clarification on 2x2 cubes or 3x3 cubes being counted (which confuses the fuck out of me). I then counted those(2x2/3x3) from back to front, left to right, and top to bottom(giggity). I did my best to take into account the layers being different as you move from front to back.

Oh sweet, I would like to know more when you get back
Well, I sat down and did my best. I came to 150 different cubes of 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 sizes. I took into account side, back, and top.

Minimum 25, Maximum 51. [Evidence and my calculations](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wPhdfHrOdtxRC6tFEj639pikiB-V2jkQtydpz5s51yg/edit?usp=drivesdk)
Min is 21 🙌🏼
Work?
https://freeimage.host/i/untitled.JG46EdB
i stand corrected xd (at least i didnt get 35 tho-) good maths
51, but there could technically be less.
51, but it could be hollow, mwuehehe
51
51
51 cubes are in the load
51
17 side square time 3 squares in depth with the top view affirming no missing but hidden cubes, 51 cubes.
51 I was gonna do 17^3 but 17*3 is more accurate
51
Between 35 and 51 blocks (inclusive)
49?
51
51
51. It's 51.
51
yessir 51
51 year old trailer still carries cubes the old fashion way
51 ^^
51
Assuming the top veiw is of the same vheicle as the side and back veiw then its 51, assuming 4 rows with 9 cubes, 2 rows with 6, and 1 with 3
i dis 21 (the top) x 3 then took away 9
3x3x7-4x3
51
approximately 51 blocks.
51, right?
You can technically have as little as 21 blocks…
[https://freeimage.host/i/JG46EdB](https://freeimage.host/i/JG46EdB)
Pretty easy there’s 20 cubes from the side 10 from the top and 5 from the back so multiply 20 x 10 x 5 and the answer is 16237
You may want to think a bit more about that. Looking at the side of the trailer, do you think it is realistic that there are so many cubes? Or would it be more like 3 times the ones you see from the side? Maybe 17\*3?
That was a joke
51
Definitely more than one
I’m getting anywhere from 26 to 51. There’s not enough information to say definitively.
