divya arora  (12 years ago)

formulas are:
for cube with all faces painted:
if edge of the big cube is N, and of smaller cubes formed from it, each having an edge of n,
1. then total number of small cubes formed from it are: (N/n)^3
2. for 3 faces painted: Answer is 8 (always)
3. for 2 faces painted: 12 X (N-2n)/n
4. for 1 face painted: 6 X (N-2n)^2/n
5. for 0 face painted: (N-2n)^3/n

farmula for cubes 1 side painted for a cube of edge n unit when cut with 1 unit edge =(n-2)^2*6

so ans=(4-2)^2*6=24
