Show all your work in the space provided.

Green Cleric has a glass cube that he would like to fill up with fruit punch for a party taking place this evening. Don't ask him why it's a cube; he just happens to have really exotic containers to work with.

The cube is 20 ml long, 20 ml wide and 20 ml high. How much fruit punch (in ml) should Green Cleric pour into the cube to completely fill it?

It can't be 20 ml in length, because ml is a unit of capacity, not length.

The glass cube is either a computer monitor or a window.

Or it equals 8000 which is the number of posts you now have! Congratulations!

20*20*20 = 8000

Congrats on hitting eight oh oh oh, Mr. Green Cleric!

That would be 20 ml * 20 ml * 20 ml = 8000 ml³

Although I have no idea what a "cubic millilitre" is, since a millilitre is already a measure of volume, not length.

Congratulations on 8000 posts, Colin!

I think it would actually be 9D, as you're taking a 3D measurement and then raising it to the 3rd power, and (x3)3 = x9.

Must be some party if it takes place in 9 dimensions

I imagine this has something to do with his 8000th post.

Damn I'm late to this party.

Actually, as he's asking for the capacity it should be in ml, but I don't know how to calculate that because I'm not even sure what kind of shape the glass is to begin with-- I guess we could assume a 9-cube, in which case it'd be 20ml * 5376 cells = 107520ml, but I don't think it is.

In any case, it's like calculating the surface of a cube, you give it in m2 because it's still six planes. The capacity of a tesseract is 8 cubes, and so on.

The key point of this was to confuse people. When I was typing it up I quickly figured out that ml really wouldn't fly, but I figured that I might as well go for it to add an extra layer of befuddlement.

Funny how it took so long before someone (Gabu) figured out it was #8000.
