"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity."

Planned or spontaneous?

Picture 1
Look at the first picture. Can you say, just by seeing this Rubik's cube, whether that combination is purposeful or not?


















Picture 2
Now, take a look at the second picture. Is it sorted? Is there order in it?

After seeing the second picture, take another look at the first one again and answer again the first question. Did your opinion change?















Picture 3
Now an (apparent) easy one. Take a look at the third picture. Is the cube on it solved?




















Picture 4
Now, observe the fourth picture; this is: for God sake, take an actual look at the damn color disposition of the sub-cubes!

Does this fourth picture somehow change your answer to the question with respect to the third photo? (Once again, compare the third and fourth pictures.)

How many "disordered" cubes there are out of the two?


Is one of them already solved? If so, can you say which one?

Can it be that both are already solved?

Can it be that none is already solved?



Picture 5
Finally (we're almost done), take a look at the fifth picture. Is there a chance that the cube depicted there is disordered? Is there a chance that the cube in Picture 3 is more "ordered" than the cube in Picture 5?
