If my thinking didn't fail me there is 25% probability ... that said, the way I see it, the problem can be reduced to a variation of picking the right color ball from the bag, with the "ball" being right color (1˝) cube side, therefore we have 96 colored balls cube sides and 384 all cube sides.

This!
Not the first correct answer, but the best!

Personally, I think that discussions about ball bags belong in the soapbox.

There is a 37.23568 % chance of the cube asking for more bacon?

What's wrong with the other cubes?

|
|
|
The other cubes are vegans.

It depends on which of the 1-inch cubes you select.
8 will have 3 painted sides (1 in 2)
24 will have 2 painted sides (1 in 3)
24 will have 1 painted side (1 in 6)
8 will have no painted sides (0 chance of getting a painted side up)
Which cube is selected?

I know that if had the inclination to do this, my probability of getting laid would be 0.

100%. You didnt wait for the paint to dry.

16*6/16*4*6 = 1/4
number of painted faces (16 on each of 6 sides) / total number of faces (16 cubes per layer, 4 layers, and 6 sides per cube).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

100%. My cube is made from red plastic, so the face color is immaterial.

Horrified tourists watch swimmers desperately try to save each other from raging Waikato River | Stuff.co.nz[^]
I feel that the title of that article misrepresents the reality of what lead to the tragedy.
A more appropriate title would be: "A group of narcissistic women continue to take selfies in a stream that is fed to by floodgates, in spite of floodgate opening times being posted, warning signs, and SIRENS BLARING; they were washed away to death by the raging waters from the scheduled opening of floodgates".
Selfie with a closeup of raging floodwaters approaching in the background. Who wouldn't want that awesome one?! Umm, no.

I find that watching people do idiotic things never really gets old and half of the content on YouTube would agree. Recently, I've been watching a lot of accident footage from Russian dash-cams. After watching about 50 or so videos I can say this, I will never get behind the wheel in Russia unless I'm driving an MRAP[^].
