Hi Sun_2010,


Thanks for your reply.

I can't seem to click on \"Add to Post\" button as the TinyPic.com is right on top of it. Thus, when I click it went straight to TinyPic.com instead.

Also I don't quite understand on \"Or you can copy and paste the line above it.\" Where is the line? :oops:

area of uncut cube is 4*4*6=96cm2
area of eight cubes is 2*2*6*8=192cm2
192/96=2
96cm2 -------- 1liter
192cm2 needed 2 liters.
