In Gardner’s problem 6.4, geometry presents itself again in the form of a 6X6X6 cube. The puzzle asks if that cube can be formed, using only 27 4X2X1 bricks: Since part of the brick is only one unit long, the solver can infer that if multiple 4X2 shapes can fit an entire side of the cube, the cube can possibly be comprised of 27 4X2X1 bricks. ................
