Cube

Deadly maze film

A cube is a solid shape with six equal square faces—a three-dimensional square.

Sugar cubes and ice cubes take this form, though ice cubes are often not perfectly cubic.

To cube something is to cut it into small pieces: Cube the potatoes before boiling.

In mathematics, to cube a number is to multiply it by itself twice: Three cubed is twenty-seven.

The result is also called a cube.
