No. of Sides Cubed = 27 64 125 216 343 512 729 1000 1331 1728 2197 2744 3375
 
NOTES: -
 
Unpainted uses the formula: - (n-2)^3
 
1Side Painted uses formula: - 6*(n-2)^2
 
2 Sides uses formula: - 12*(n-2)
 
3 Sides Painted is a CONSTANT = 8
 
The Check System is to total all of the calculated sides and compare them to the number of blocks per edge cubed.
(e.g. for 5 blocks per edge = 27 + 54 + 36 + 8 = 125 and 5 x 5 x 5 = 125). [For figures refer to table].
