Between 35 and 51.if we assume a reasonable stacking technique for stability, every box not on top can be supported on 3 sides at 40.

We also don't know that every box is the same size. With that format screw it could be as low as 21.

This is why mechanical diagrams include an isometric view and xray lines.

Edit: I see now it specifies cubes, so the number couldn't be 21, but it could still be less than 35. I'm not figuring that one out.

Also why can't you see the trailer in the top view when it protrudes on the sides?

Perspective. The artist obviously kept in mind that the cubes are closer to the viewer so from that point of view they'd overlap the narrow edge of the trailer. A true master.

This is incredible

That is not a trailer, and those are not cubes. According to René Magritte's Treachery of images, this is just a picture. You can't fool me, memer person! 🤪

ELI5 why there's not enough information?

Because in each view you only know whether there is 0 or at least 1 block in each column. So we can set a lower bound of 35 and an upper bound of 51. The actual number can be anything in between.

And that's assuming that all the boxes are the same size. There could be many more than 51 if they're "hiding" in the middle.

Do you know if theres empty space on the inside of those 3 stacks or are they cubes? Not enough information to solve the problem

Think about the two blocks on the right of the side view forming the step in the middle row. What’s behind them? Are you assuming it’s the full truck width of three? How do you know it isn’t a bit of a “false front” and it’s only one deep, or two? What if one is three “deep” and the only is only one? What about the center? Maybe it’s “hollow” on the inside?
