<p>the question says “as is shown below”</p>
<p>well, as shown below does not show all sides of the box, and thus you cannot, nor should you, assume there is ribbon on all sides, including the bottom, of the box</p>
<p>to do so, is reading more into the question then is actually asked and presneted, and making assumptions about the ribbon that have no factual basis, according to the question and to the actual drawing, is coming up with an answer that is faulty, as it is based on incomplete data</p>
<p>I would be more impressed with a kid who wondered about the unseen portions of the box and the bottom, then one who just assumed there was ribbon there</p>
<p>its the thinking outside the box in this case</p>
