\n" ); document.write( "The big cube has 8 corners.
\n" ); document.write( "The \"highlight%288%29\" little cubes on those corners will have 3 faces painted.
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The big cube has 12 edges.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 little cubes along each of those edges,
\n" ); document.write( "but the 2 at the ends are on a corner of the big cube.
\n" ); document.write( "We already figured out what happens with those little cubes.
\n" ); document.write( "The little cubes on the big cube's edges that are not on a corner
\n" ); document.write( "will have 2 faces painted.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 6-2=4 such little cubes on each of the 12 edges,
\n" ); document.write( "for a total of \"4%2A12=highlight%2848%29\" little cubes with 2 faces painted.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "There are also \"4%2A4=16\" little cubes forming the center of each big cube face
\n" ); document.write( "that will have only one face painted. You did not ask about those, but there are
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2A16=96\" with exactly one face painted.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "If you peel the outer layer of little cubes, you get a medium sized cube,
\n" ); document.write( "with 4 cm edges made up of \"4%2A4%2A4=64\" little cubes.
\n" ); document.write( "Those \"highlight%2864%29\" little cubes have no face painted.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "VERIFICATION:
\n" ); document.write( "aiming up the numbers of little cubes with exactly 0, 1, 2, and 3 faces painted we get
\n" ); document.write( "\"64%2B96%2B48%2B8=216\" and that makes sense,
\n" ); document.write( "because a big cube with 6 cm edges is made up of \"6%2A6%2A6=216\"
\n" ); document.write( "little cubes with 1 cm edges.
\n" ); document.write( "
