DAY 48
Eight dice are stacked on top of each other on a table. The die on top shows 1 dot. What is the total of all the numbers that are covered? You may not touch the dice. You may walk around the table if you want and look at the uncovered numbers, but you don't have to do this to solve the problem..

Answer:

The sides of a die that are opposite each other always equal 7. 7X7=49, which accounts for the first 7 dice. Now add the value of the bottom of the top die, which must be 6, giving a total of 55.
