Degree of difficulty: high
Solution
Even in this difficult task we immediately notice the striking location where the two ends
of the cable meet. Although this location can be quickly identified in the right-hand cube too,
the task is still by no means solved. The view from behind can be ruled out – it would have to
look like the view from the front, the difference being that the cable ends are in the right half.
The views from the right and left can also be eliminated, because in both cases the cable ends
would have to be located at the same height as they are in the view from the front. This leaves
us with just the views from below and from above. The perspective from below can be ruled out
because none of the cable coils running across the base lead directly to the location where the
two cable ends meet up. This is the case, however, with the view from above: the cable coming
from the bottom right of the cube and running along the top is then guided back downward into
the cube’s interior – to exactly the point where the two cable ends meet.
