WARNING: This one is a shocker.
This was posted on the forum a while ago, I don't think it got a mathematical answer, unsurprisingly.
ok,
You have a cube of wood (it's actually irrelevant what it's made of) measuring 10cm x 10 cm x 10 cm.
you drill a perfect 1 cm hole all the way through between top and bottom vertices of the cube.
What percentage of the material is left?
Ow!
