Hi beatthegmat community!
I'm trying this problem out as one of the challenge problems on my blog/website-- nostressprep.com.
Trying to get a good sense of what level GMAT problem this question would be at. As a GMAT
tutor, I'm guessing somewhere in the upper 700's, but as I am the creator of the problem
I may be a bit biased. Anyways, here it is-- let's see if anyone can get it!
A cube is to be constructed from 8 smaller, equally sized cubes. How many possible ways can the larger cube be arranged taking into account the position and orientation of each of the smaller cubes?
(A) (8^2) (4^1) (2^1)
(B) 6^8
(C) 4! X6^8 X 2^7
(D) 4! (2X3) ^8
(E) 35 (2^15 X 3^10)
