Matt's on the right track, indeed only 3 faces are visible at any one time.

27 isn't right, but it's a start.

Well, as 3 * 9 is indeed 27, I'll go with my theory about each corner square being one instead of three, and go for 19.

Sorry Weyland, I didn't give a hint in your direction either.

Nope, the corner squares do count. The answer is higher than 27

30? Being that the three sides would be three additional squares?

You're getting there Matt, it's higher than 30, but you're logic is good yet again.

27 1 x 1 squares
12 2 x 2 squares (not counting the groups of four that go over the edges, as they're not really square

)
3 3 x 3 squares

...42?

Sounds like one of those questions on the TV quiz phone in rip off games.

I'll guess 42 plus one square to play with it. So 43

Weyland wins it, 42 it is.

I'd better launch another phoenix, this one's eight pages long.
