Current Day of the Month

352.3K Views

In an office’s desk, you find a unique method that shows the current day of the month. Two numbered cubes are used to depict the current date.

Can you find out the numbers on both the cubes so that each date can be mentioned using them?

Please note that you have to use both the cubes to display any date. Thus the 1st day must be represented by 01 and so on.

    One of the cubes, say, B, should have digits 0 to 5, and the other, say A, should have digits 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8.

    With this,
    Dates 1 to 5 can be represented with 0 from cube A and 1 to 5 from cube B;
    Dates 6 to 8 can be represented with 0 from cube B and 6, 7, 8 from cube A;
    Date 9 can be represented through a ‘trick’ – using 0 of Cube B and 6 from Cube A turned ‘upside down’.
    Date 10 can be shown with 1 and 0 from either cube;
    Date 11 can be made of 1s from both cubes;
    Date 12 to 15 can be made from 1 of cube A and 2 to 5 of cube B;
    Dates 16 – 19 can be represented similar to dates 6 – 9 by replacing the 0 with 1 from cube B;
    Dates 20, 21: 2 and 0 / 1 from either cube;
    Dates 22 – 25 can be made similar to dates 12 to 15, replacing the 1 with 2 from cube B;
    Dates 26 – 29 can be done similar to 16 – 19;
    Dates 30 and 31: Use 3 from cube  B and 0 and 1 of cube A.
