11oh....no......sorry for my old post....
there are 24 orientations of a cube
so 6!/24 = 30 ways.....
1057First paint any colour on any face.....Now the opposite face can be painted in 5 ways(with any of the remaining 5 colours).Now the remaining faces can be painted with the remaining 4 colours in (4-1)! ways(circular permutations)...
final answer is 5 x (4-1)!=30 ways.... :)
