 Total 36 faces are uncoloured

12 each from the two sides that are not coloured (25-13) as in 13 cubes atleast one will be coloured = (25-13)*2 = 24

Then 12 from the cubes that are within the cube as they cannout be painted  (5-1)*(5-2) = 4*3 = 12

So total cubes uncoloured =           36 CUBES

ans : 27
(solution :
formula for faces uncoloured = (n-2)^3
cube root of 125(n) = 5
no face coloured = (5-2)^3 =27)

The given problem is 5*5*5 cube whichhas total 125 cubes when cut.

All faces are not colured here only 3 faces will be coloured and total 3 faces are 8 which are nothing but corners of a cube.
