You have 59 cubic blocks. What is the minimum number that needs to be taken away in order to construct a solid cube with none left over? Select:
A) 27
B) 43
C) 11
D) 32
E) 45
D   32   The next cube number below 64(4 ×4 ×4) is 27(3 ×3 ×3).   In order to construct a solid cube, therefore, with none left over,   59 – 27 = 32 blocks need to be taken away.
