27 cubes glued together to form a larger cube.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The big cube is formed from 3 little cubes on each side.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3 * 3 * 3 = 27 little cubes.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There is 1 cube in the middle with no faces exposed.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 8 cubes on the corners with 3 faces exposed.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 12 cubes on the edges with 2 faces exposed.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 cubes in the middle of each side of the big cube that have only 1 face exposed.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "All the exposed faces have been painted pink.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The product of the number of cubes with 1 pink face and the number of cubes with 3 pink faces would be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 * 6 = 48\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
