Anyone knows how to solve the following two questions?
1. Starting with a 9×9×9 cube, Augusta removed
as few 1 × 1 × 1 cubes as possible so that the
resulting sculpture had front view, top view and
side view all the same, as shown.
How many 1 × 1 × 1 cubes did Augusta remove?
2. My grandson makes wall hangings by stitching
together 16 square patches of fabric into a 4 × 4
grid. I asked him to use patches of red, blue,
green and yellow, but to ensure that no patch
touches another of the same colour, not even diagonally.
The picture shows an attempt which fails only
because two yellow patches touch diagonally.
In how many different ways can my grandson
choose to arrange the coloured patches correctly?

28题是329，可以拆成27个3*3*3的小立方体来考虑。
30题是168，可以用数独的做法从上到下从左到右推算。
