Hi! The first time I read the text of the Challenge I had the same doubt.

You can hatch one of the three planes facing the viewer. If in doubt, look at the initial Y. Three planes of your boxes share lines with the Y, right? Those are the three planes facing the viewer. Choose one of those planes and apply the hatching.

You can also look for a shoe box or another boxy object in your house, mark the Y with a marker and see which are the planes facing you more clearly.
