Q: The faces of a cube are painted in six different colors: red (R), white (W), green (G), brown (B), aqua (A), and purple (P). Three views of the cube are shown below. What is the color of the face opposite the aqua face?

$\textbf{(A) }\text{red}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\text{white}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\text{green}\qquad\textbf{(D) }\text{brown}\qquad\textbf{(E) }\text{purple}$

If we create a 'flattened' image of the cube, then it would look like this:
(A is red because it wasn't explicitly denoted in the drawings)
R (red) is opposite of A, because if you fold the cube into its shape, R will be the opposite side to A. That means the answer is A.
