Total number of cubic blocs are 50. To construct a solid cube with none left over, what will be the minimum numbers that needs to be taken?

Answer: 23
Explanation

A cube can be made with equal blocks for length breadth and height.

Let's see, 1*1*1=1 2*2*2=8 3*3*3=27 4*4*4=64.

Oops, larger than 59. So we need only 27 blocks.

That means that we can take away 50-27=23 blocks.
