Puzzle: two cubes
You are given two white cubes. You are asked to draw a digit (from 0..9) on every square of these cubes, such that you will be able to represent evert day in a month using these cubes in certain position. For example, "13" would require that a face on one cube will contain "1" and another face on the other cube will contain "3".

Have 0,1,2,3,4,5 on cube 1
Have 0,1,2,6,7,8 on cube 2
(6 doubles as 9 upside down)
I think that works? - Anonymous

Yes, that's correct (this was an easy one, isn't it? :-) - Anonymous

I was thinking that it would be easier to just represent the month as base-6, giving 35 possibilities. I guess that violates the puzzle criteria? You didn't say it had to be base 10... - Anonymous
