BRAIN TEASERS Q: You’ve got a 10 x 10 x 10 cube made up of 1 x 1 x 1 smaller cubes. The outside of the larger cube is completely painted red. On how many of the smaller cubes is there any red paint?
25
BRAIN TEASER A: First, note that the larger cube is made up of 1000 smaller cubes. The easiest way to think about this is how many cubes are NOT painted? 8 x 8 x 8 inner cubes are not painted which equals 512 cubes. Therefore, 1000 – 512 = 488 cubes that have some paint. Alternatively, we can calculate this by saying that two 10 x 10 sides are painted (200) plus two 10 x 8 sides (160) plus two 8 x 8 sides (128). 200 + 160 + 128 = 488.
