You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+3000%2A30+=+90000+ cm
The dimensions of the warehouse are:
+90000+ x +90000+ x +90000+ cm3
--------------------------
I assume the hollow blocks are laid down on
its longest side all the way around
+90000%2A4+=+360000+ cm cirumference of warehouse
+360000%2F30+=+12000+ blocks around warehouse
+90000+%2F+10+=+9000+ blocks high
+12000%2A9000+=+108000000+
108,000,000 blocks are needed
---------------------------
I could be WAY off. Check my math
