You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Actually, there are 12 edges to a cube.
But you were right about the number of faces: there are six. :)
And there are 8 verticies.
What I would suggest for solving problems like this is just to draw a picture. It will help you to see the figure on paper instead of just figuring it in your head. It's easy to get confused when evaluating a problem like this, but if you have a picture, you can mark off the edges and faces and verticies as you count them. Then, nothing will get left out or counted twice. :)
