Same pattern as Net of a cube — the opposite face. New numbers, new
story. Try each one on paper, then check the working below — or watch it drawn out, the
same way the problem above is.

Folding a net in your head is where this goes wrong, so use the one rule that does not need imagining.in a straight strip of three squares, the two ends fold to opposite faces
Find a straight strip of three with G at one end.D — E — G
G is at one end of it, so the face at the other end is the one opposite.G is opposite D
The other four squares pair off the same way, which is the check: three pairs, six faces, nothing left over.B–F, C–E, D–G
D is on the face opposite G.
The pattern. You do not have to fold it in your head. Three squares in a straight line: the two ends land opposite each other, every time.
