The painted Cube



                 A cubic object 3” x 3 “x 3” is painted blue on all the outside surfaces, including the top and bottom. If the cube is cut into 27 cubes of 1” x 1” x 1”, how many 1” cubes do have any painted surfaces?

 Answer:    only the box I in the very centre of the stack will not suffer the storks of the brush, whereas all the other 26 boxes will have at least one side painted.
