Okay. So the view you have is:

+-------+ | o o | | o | | o o | +-------+

What number face is point right as you observe it?

In general, substituting numbers/colours/directions/points of the compass doesn't change the problem.

    Well, if I knew the initial layout prior to the applied rotation (e.g. left/right = #1/#3, front/back = #2/#4, top/bottom = #5/#6), then seeing #5 I could reason that the right frame is #3. But, mmm, it's not that easy is it?
