Don't touch! (Posted on 2003-10-24) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Start with 27 small cubes. Now put them together to make one larger cube. Without touching the sides of the larger cube, remove the cube in the middle to leave 26.

(Note: No one may touch the outer cubes or in any way do anything that would move or change them)

Solution: (Hide)
Start with 27 small cubes (8)

Put them together to create one large cube (27*8=216)

Without touching the sides of the large cube (the 2 and the 6), you can remove the small cube in the middle (1) to get 26 (26)
