A cubic object 3"X3"X3 is painted blue on the outside surfaces, including the top and bottom.

Only one small cube won't have any painted sufaces, therefore 26 have at least one painted surface (6 have only one surface blue, 12 have two blue surfaces and 8 have three blue surfaces).

Both will get 7.5 points.
