How many smaller cubes have exactly one color on them?
Explanation:
Center of Faces: Each of the 6 faces will give 3 × 3 = 9 middle cubes with exactly one color on them. Hence, total 6 × 9 = 54 such cubes.
Middle of Edges: Three red edges and one yellow edge will give 3 such cubes, hence total 12 such cubes.
Corners: One red corner will give 1 such cube.
∴ Total number of cubes with exactly one color on them = 54 + 12 + 1 = 67
Hence, 67.
