That leaves us with 4 sides of each cube (total of 8) for another 8 digits. However, digit 0 needs to be combined with all other digits, so it also needs to be placed on both cubes. That means we need to place remaining 7 digits (from 3 to 9) on the remaining 6 sides of cubes. The solution is possible because digit 6 looks like inverted 9.
Usually, two digits would mean 100 (00−99) combinations in decimal code or (36×36=1296) combinations in alphanumeric code. But as there are only 12 months, there are only 12 combinations. It is the same with the day (two digits and 31 combinations or less, depending on the month).
The following is an example of an abbreviated wheeling system for a pick-6 lottery with 10 numbers, 4 if 4 guarantee, and the minimum possible number of combinations for that guarantee (20). A template for an abbreviated wheeling system is given as 20 combinations on the numbers from 1 to 10.

Generally the problem is best tackled starting from the extreme sums—cages with the largest or the smallest sums. This is because these have the fewest possible combinations. For example, 5 cells within the same cage totalling 34 can only be 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Yet, 5 cells within the same cage totaling 25 has twelve possible combinations.
