Of the total of 448 cubes, there will be 144 cubes with no paint on them. Therefore, the remaining 304 cubes will have one, two, or three sides with pink paint on them, depending if they are from the face, edge, or corner of the original block.

So, the order of the three playing cards from left to right is; ten of diamonds, king of hearts, eight of spades.
