Question 43

How many cubes will have no colour?

Solution
125431

Here, we have 8 corner cubes will have 3 side painted, 16 middle cubes of each edge will have 2 sides painted, 10 middle cubes of each face (not touching any edge) will have 1 side painted and rest will have no side painted.

Total there are 36 small cubes.

So, no. of cubes with no side painted = 36-16-8-10 = 2 cubes
