RAY: Imagine you have in front of you two cardboard cubes. They can be any size. You also have a magic marker.

There's nothing written on these cubes -- yet. You're going to write something on them with the magic marker. You'd like to use these cubes to represent the date.

For example, if today is the 3rd of the month, the two cubes would be next to each other and one would have a zero and the other would have a three. If it was the 22nd, it would be a two and a two.

You've got six sides on each cube, and with those six sides you need to be able to represent every single date.

TOM: Do I have to use base 10?

RAY: Yes, Piston Puss. It needs to be base 10. Here's a hint: Think outside of the box.

How do you do it?
