Since there are 12 edged in the cube front face have 2 faces such as 2 sides painted so total 2*4 (edges of 2 sides painted), similarly when you go by height 1*4, and same breadth 1*4.

So, total (2*4 + 1*4 + 1*4) = 16.

I too had problems on left and right side cubes. @Aadharsdha, do you find it?

Aadharsha said:   1 decade ago
I think so 4 from left and 4 from right. 4 cubes have two face colored.

Its the right explanation. If you go through it practically you would surely get it right.
