------------
Volume of one cube: 2*2*2 = 8 cu inches
----------------------
Volume of the container: 8*5*4 = 160 cu inches
----------------------
# of cubes the container can hold: 160/8 = 20

------------
If it has a lid, then they'll stack 4 by 2 by 2 = 16 cubes.
If there's no lid it can have a 3rd layer = 24 cubes.
