In a 2X2X2 block of wood there are \"2%5E3+=+8\" cubic inches of wood, so the termites devour 8 cubic inches of wood in a day.
\n" ); document.write( "In a 4X4X4 block of wood there are \"4%5E3+=+64\" cubic inches of wood, so the termites will take 8 days (8 times 8 = 64) to devour the 4X4X4 block.
