Is there a scientific name for the observation that the increasing rates of graduates in academia will lower the measured cognitive capabilities of the groups?
Interestingly, rotating the cube is not necessary to correctly answer this question. You can do it based solely on the orientation of the symbol on each face; you don't need to know anything about the relative location of one face to another.
A shows "3" pointing at "2"; in the model cube, "3" points at an unknown face.
B shows "2" pointing at "3"; in the model cube, "2" presents its side to "3".
C only displays one known face, "3". It is pointing toward an unknown face, as depicted in the model cube, and showing its side to an unknown face, which is also depicted in the model cube. C is possible.
D says that C is impossible, so D is wrong.
E shows "3" pointing away from "5"; in the model cube, "3" points away from "4".
F is identical to E, as far as the model cube is concerned.
"G" shows "3" pointing away from "6".
If you wanted to avoid this problem and force people to actually rotate the cube in their heads, you'd need to use rotationally symmetric shapes, like circles and squares in different colors.

Credential inflation? Educational inflation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credentialism_and_educational_inflation
Very interesting
What if you just rotate the cube so all 3 faces shown just face away? So the answer is all the above lmao
In the SAPA project assessment Emil links additional explanation for these cube rotation questions clarify that each symbol will only appear once.

Yes C looks to be the only possible answer assuming symbols appear once.
