do you know geometry?

Even if you are it won't be a perfect cube, so presumably any recognisable approximation is acceptable.

If you start with an acceptably rectangular piece of paper, by folding it you can create a regular square grid. (fold a 45 degree angle to translate east-west measure to north-south)

When covering the surface of a cube one must think outside the box :)

Here is a collection of some of those given:

1A 1B 2A 2B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | | | | | | | | | |_ _|_ _|_ _| _ _|_ _|_ _ |_ _|_ _|_ _ |_ _|_ _| | | | | | | | | | | | |_ _| |_ _|_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _ | | | | | | | | | |_ _| |_ _| |_ _| |_ _|_ _| | | | | | | | | |_ _| |_ _| |_ _| |_ _|

2C 3 var A var B _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | | | | | | |_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _ _ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _ | | | | | | | | | | | |_ _| _ _|_ _|_ _| _ _|_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _|_ _ | | | | | | | | | | | |_ _|_ _ |_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _| | | | | | | | | | |_ _|_ _| |_ _| |_ _| |_ _|

var C _ _ | | |_ _| | | _ _|_ _| | | | |_ _|_ _| | | |_ _| | | |_ _|

By accepting correction, my being wrong is only a temporary affliction. You, however, appear to prove that being a horse's ass is forever.

I just thought up some more... _ _ _ _ _ _ | | | | | |_ _|_ _| |_ _| | | | | |_ _|_ _ _ _|_ _|_ _ | | | | | | | |_ _|_ _| |_ _|_ _|_ _| | | | | |_ _| |_ _|

Having one tile different to "1B" and "2B" or "Var A" or "Var C" I can's see how to classify them That makes 11, I can't as yet complete the dozen, if that's possible.

That great Texas sage Ron White describes Larkin perfectly...

Looks pretty consistant to me.

Maybe you should learn to read. I did not see where it was him making that remark.

Mister Baer, please report to the Accounting office NOW!

Yep! How about a strip of paper of uniform width (== box size)? Use 45 degree fold after front, top, back, bottom are made - to allow sides. Nothing was said about doing a surface twice..

Economy was implied, I believe.

Economy of *what*? E.g., effort required to draw *outline* and then cut it with scissors?

Always interesting to see what people read *into* "specs" that really isn't there. And, wonder how it affects their designs, etc.

So you caught my hand in the till (again)..
