To find cubic measurement you multiply length x width x height; therefore, on the first hole, one hour equals 2 m x 2 m x 2 m or 8 cubic meters. On the second hole, the formula is 4 m x 4 x 4 m or 64 cubic meters. ============================================================= --- You are currently subscribed to riddles as: mike.grigsby@enron.com To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-riddles-8238I@riddlesandmore.net
