Cube folding is a core spatial-visualisation task in pilot selection. A flat net of six labelled faces folds into a cube. Picture the fold and work out which face ends up opposite the marked one.

This measures spatial visualisation and mental folding: folding a flat net into a cube and tracking which faces meet. It is a focused test of manipulating a shape in your mind.
Fix one face as the base and track where each connected face folds to. Faces two steps apart along a straight strip of the net usually end up opposite each other.
A cube has three pairs of opposite faces, and any two faces that share an edge in the net can never be opposite. Ruling out the neighbours of the queried face often leaves the answer.
