Hint 2 of 2
Once the cubes' orientations are fixed, read off what those same faces show from behind.
Show solution
Approach: fix each cube's orientation from the front view, then look from behind
- The four cubes must be turned so that their front faces combine into the black circle shown.
- That orientation determines the pattern on each cube's back face as well.
- Reading the back faces together gives the small central diamond pattern.
- The back view is A.
