The first one's pretty easy until you realize your goal is to do it with 12 cubes.

Number 10 also seems to have multiple solutions.
Edit: Also, as a hint, symmetry plays a large role in all solutions.

Using the "Fill in" and then Breakdown technique in which you just replicated the shapes of each side makes it really easy... hell the last one is solved by just hitting "Fill In."

-edit- liku you do realise you have to do it with a set number of cubes right, and a yellow dot appears next to the ones you have completed?

... except that you're 48 cubes over budget.
Yup, I've only received two yellow dots, I've completed everything else exactly.

No man, green = correcto with wrong cubes, yellow = correctomundo
I solved 6 with 10/11 blocks and 8 with 14/16 blocks.
edit: nvm. stopped for a few hours then tried one again, got it instantly. I still think it's weird I solved 6 with 1 block left and 8 with 2 left >.>
figuur2: 1 block over limit
figuur10: 4 blocks over limit
And the worst thing about it, is that I need a different approach for both puzzles, because there is no redundant block <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
Newsflash:
Got figuur 2 <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />
figuur10: 2 blocks over limit <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
Yet another edit: I got em all!
The first one consumed a third, if not more, of the total time that I spend fooling around. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="???" border="0" alt="confused-fix.gif" />
#1 did take the longest though. I think I beat #9 by accident though. I just changed something and was like, "Whoah, I win? That's pretty cool, I guess."
I love these kind of games
But directions to go under limit on one of them:
Let us assume we have a 3d graph, cords represented as (X, Y, Z) and the box closest to you on the botom left (when facing the front view) is (1,1,1)
Open up 6
fill the box
carve out the obvious bits
now remove (2,3,1) and (2,2,3)
there, 1 under limit.
There are a few others, but that is the easiest I can do w/out pictures.
BTW, some of the other stuff on the site is awsome to check out <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Green = correct with cubes to spare, there are no wrong cubes in this game.
try opening level 10, and hitting fill all
No man, green = correcto with wrong cubes, yellow = correctomundo
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ahhhhh, fun. Wish that was explained somewhere on the page. And green's always finished, but going against the grain is cool.
Well im down to 14 on level 1 and there is no way in hell I can remove additional 2.

There are certain ways, that can get you stuck.
Try a different approach.
I finished 6 with only 10 cubes <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/marine.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::marine::" border="0" alt="marine.gif" />
