For cube with 2 sides painted, => 12(n-2)For the cubes with 3 sides painted, it will
always be 8. The eight painted cubes are the 8 corners of any and all cubes.

=>For cuboid of side a x b x c

0 side painted => (a-2)(b-2)(c-2)

1 side painted => 2[ (a-2)(b-2) + (b-2)(c-2) + (a-2)(c-2) ]

2 side painted => 4(a+b+c -6)

3 side painted => 8
