Just for fun, the maximum sized cube you could make with a single layer of them facing flat and then entirely hollow on the inside would be about 41 meters or so on a side. https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=sqrt%28%28area+of+a+uni...

I can't argue with the math, but intuitively that just seems really small? It means that you can lay down 166,000 $1 bills on the floor of a very small flat?

The square side would be 41 m meaning ~1600 square meters per face, if I read correctly. So quite a large flat.

Oh, the side? That makes sense, I thought 41 sqm.

41 meters is the height of a 13-story building.

A flat with very high ceilings?

Edit: even still 41x41 floorspace is a very large flat.
