	FIVE	for	10p
	NINE	for	11p
	TEN	for	9p
	TWELVE	for	18p

There are two cubes.
For both of them, their edge-lengths are a whole number of centimetres.
Curiously, the total of their volumes is exactly equal to the total of all their edge-lengths.
What is their total volume?

The winner of Competition #12 was M. Kathawala of Coventry.
The answers were:

34.	3 girls and 4 boys
35.	3 999 960
36.	14 by 15

#34 Everyone did this one and there were NO wrong answers.
#35 Not done very well. From the wide variety of answers it looked as though entrants were trying to write them all out and add them rather than look for an organised short cut.
#36 Just over a half got this one correct. It yielded very quickly to a 'trial and error' style of solution.
