![[Figure 1 - Four images labelled A to D depict the construction of a cube with marshmallows and cocktail sticks. Image A shows 13 cocktail sticks and 9 mini-marshmallow sweets (1 pink and 8 white) laid out. Image B shows the base of the cube constructed with 4 white marshmallows and 4 cocktail sticks. Image C is similar to D, with 4 added cocktail sticks standing vertically on top of the marshmallows. Image D is the final constructed cube, with the pink marshmallow and one cocktail stick lying beside the cube in preparation for this to be added.]](gj5303fig1mag.jpg)
