Question 38584
The size of Gulliver's food allotment is a cubical box that is 24 "blots" on each side.  Therefore, {{{V = 24^3}}} = 13824 cubic blots.  


13824 cubic blots = food for 1728 Lilliputians, so divide both sides of this "equation" by 1728 to get 
8  cubic blots = food for 1 Lilliputian.


Therefore, the food for 1 Lilliputian would be a cube whose volume is 8 cubic blots.  That is, a cube that is  2 "blots" on each side.


That's the final answer:  the Lilliputian's cube is 2 "blots" on each side.
