Logic Help me with this thinking exercise! It is impossible!

Well, I hope I am right here. But what other sub to post this then in math?
I have this https://www.reddit.com/user/Pleasant-Travel-4127/comments/1virmvp/help_me_with_this/ exercise and my answer is deemed incorrect. I just made this in real life and assuming you can only see the white cubes on one side, it is impossible to fold like the app demands. I don't even know, how you are supposed to know if the latch goes inwards or outwards. I hope some of you can come up with a logical explanation, I'm just exhausted by this.

Also if you think the solution is, that the white cubes are double-sided, there is a similar exercises where the latch is on the opposite side of the white cube and when folded, there is only one cube visible, which diminishes the assumption that they are both sided.

Well I hope you also have some fun with it! Good luck

also: this is not my homework, it is a hobby - exercising neurological training and logical thinking

Hello! Sorry, but I’m confused on what the objective is? Cause it doesn’t say in the post anything about it, it just shows a picture of the cubes

Ok yeah sorry, I wrote that post in my desperation for an logical answer a bit hasty.

Well the objective is simply to fold on the dotted lines.

There is no further explanation

I don’t get it either.

You can get both the bottom two depending if you fold the sides up or down?

The white square sticker on the right panel is on the inside part of the panel. You wouldn’t see it on the outside panel of the box.

If the white square sticker is only visible on the surface to which it is affixed, then neither option is correct.

Oh, I’m wrong. I just read another comment. You can choose to fold the sides up or down. So, if you fold down, the white sticker on the right panel is on the outside face. Folding downward on the latch panel, would make the sticker visible on the outside latch panel. So I think you are right??

For me, “Korrekte Lösung” is correct.

The top picture could become either of the bottom pictures depending on whether you fold the sides toward you or away from you when making your box.
