The answer would be 20 if the question contains the phrase "at least two faces coloured with red and green". Since at least is not there hence the answer is 12.

You are right Sandeep.
I also think 20 is the right answer to the qs.

Sandeep Singh said:   1 decade ago
I think 12 will be answer if the question is.

How many small cubes will have only two faces coloured with red and green colours ?

But in above question "only" word is not used, so answer to above question should be 20.

Please help me.
