A sugar company wants people to use sugar cubes more often. The first person to get the puzzle right (Which is three parts) gets free sugar for life! Part one of the puzzle is here.
You have been sent one million sugar cubes that are inedible. Each cube is just a half inch long, a half inch wide, and a half inch tall.
Suppose the cubes arrived in one giant box shaped exactly like a cube. Where would you put the cubes after you took them out of the box?(You should keep them as a cube.) The cubes do not have to go exactly in, but the object you are putting them in or under must not be moved by the cubes. You want to use the smallest space possible.

Alright, I don't really know why my answer is considered correct. ;)
But 100**3 is one million, so the original cube is 100 inches on a side. It's too big to fit under a table, a basement in most houses (that have basements) would be too big, a warehouse much too big, and this only leaves a garage.
