The fig. (X) is similar to the Form VIII. So, when a cube is formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (X), then and are the two faces and these two faces lie opposite to each other. Also, the face bearing the 'x' sigh lies opposite to the face bearing the black circle and the face bearing the white circle lies opposite to the face bearing the square (having a dot inside it). Now, the cubes in figures (2) and (4) consist of faces which are not formed when the sheet in fig. (X) is folded. Hence, these two cubes are not, formed. Therefore, only the cubes in figures (1) and (3) are formed.

The fig. (X) is similar to Form IV. So, when the sheet shown in fig. (X) is folded to , form a cube, then the face bearing the dot lies opposite to the shaded face, the face bearing a circle (with '+' sign inside it) lies opposite to a blank face and the remaining two blank faces lie opposite to each other. Clearly, the cubes shown in figures (2) and (4) cannot be formed since they have the shaded face adjacent to the face bearing a dot and the cube shown in fig. (3) cannot be formed since it shows all the three blank faces adjacent to each other. Hence only the cube shown in fig. (1) can be formed.

The fig. (X) is similar to the Form V. So, when the sheet in fig. (X) is folded to form a cube, then the face bearing a dot appears opposite to a blank face, the face bearing a '+' sign appears opposite to another blank face and the face bearing a circle appears opposite to the third blank face. Clearly, all the four cubes shown in figures (1), (2), (3) and (4) can be formed.

The given figure is similar to Form III. Therefore, when this figure is folded to form a cube then the face bearing three dots will lie opposite the face bearing five dots.

The fig. (X) is similar to the Form VI. So, when the cube is formed by folding the sheet shown in fig. (X), then is one of the faces of the cube and this face lies opposite to the face bearing a circle. Also, one of the blank faces lies opposite to another blank face and yet another blank face lies opposite to the fourth blank face. Thus, out of the four blank faces, no three faces can appear adjacent to each other.

Clearly, the cube in fig. (1) cannot be formed since there is no face of the type , the cube in fig. (2) cannot be formed since it shows three blank faces adjacent to each other and the cube in fig. (3) cannot be formed since the face cannot appear adjacent to the face bearing the circle. Hence, only the cube in fig. (4) can be formed.

The upper element is converted to an element similar to the lower elements and each one of the lower elements is converted to an element similar to the upper element.

The figure gets vertically inverted.

Each one of the upper elements is replaced by an element similar to the lower element(s) and each one of the lower elements is replaced by an element similar to the upper element(s).

Except for the dots, the remaining part of the figure rotates through 180 ^o and shifts to the opposite side of the square boundary.

The combination of two symbols placed at the lower-right corner, rotates 90 ^oCW and moves to the Upper-right corner. Also, the combination of two symbols placed at the upper-left corner, moves to the lower-right corner.
