Answer:
0, 1 and 2 are necessary to be present on each dice. This is because you will have to display 11, 22 and the dates from 01 to 09. Since, we can’t have all the other numbers on the second dice, we must have 0 on both of them.
So 3 sides on each dice would be occupied by 0, 1 & 2.
Now we are left with 3 sides on each dice, so we fill them as follows;
Dice one will have the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7.
Dice two will have the numbers 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8.
You must be wondering why there is no face with a 9 in it. This is because you can always turn a 6 upside down to make it a 9.
