    While I've never seen this arrangement of words, I've seen a similar observation on a study of the same word. Btw, I laughed when I reread it.

    2) I wouldn't use "what shapes are left" but instead keeping with "after removing 27 cubelets, how many possibilities are there?" Which is 1. 3) ~950

    Clarifying question: Is the rectangle as large as possible meeting those constraints? Or as small as possible meeting those constraints? I feel like the number of circles required depends on that, but maybe it doesn't.

    This is basically my stumbling block. Any strategy you could come up with could be countered by the warden. If you could anticipate that the warden would do all in his power to flummox your strategy, you could (as a logical individual) decide to go completely against the strategy. That, however, doesn't guarantee any successes either.

    This is absolutely something I should have been able to reason myself into. D'oh.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure the above can't be right.
