Friday puzzle -- cubes

Some people find this difficult, but I wonder if woodworkers, being more visual thinkers, may find this too easy. When you claim success, try to do it in a way that doesn't give away the answer to those still trying!

The top image below is a piece of paper, with patterns on it. Below that are six cubes. Which one(s) of those cubes cannot be created by folding the piece of paper? No cutting allowed.

That's a tough answer to obfuscate!

How about the "easy pieces" one.

Yes, I'm afraid that the obfuscation of this one might have been harder than the puzzle. When there was no answer by noon, I was tempted to go back in and say "forget obfuscation--at least say how many can't be made, if you think you have it solved."

And your answer is correct.
