Termite
Posted: January 29th, 2021, 11:57 am
A large cube is formed by 27 smaller cubes, glued together, of uniform size. A termite starts at the centre of the face of any of the outside cubes and bores a path that takes her once through every small cube. This movement is always parallel to a side of the large cube, never diagonal.
Is it possible for the termite to bore her way through each of the 26 outside cubes once and once only, then finish her trip by entering the central cube for the first time? If possible, show how it can be done. If impossible, prove it.
