A warehouse has a bunch of 1 foot x 1 foot x 1 foot crates, stacked to
form a bigger cube that is 10 feet x 10 feet x 10 feet. After receiving
a large order, the warehouse foreman called the stockboy into his office,
gave him 1000 labels and told him to label all of the crates for shipment.
Being the lazy person he was, the stockboy only labeled the crates showing, and threw the rest of the labels away.
