2 layer=>

cubes which at the edge are painted

=> 4 cubes in center are unaffected

similarly to 2nd

cubes which at the edge are painted

=> 4 cubes in center are unaffected

4 layer=>

all cube are painted with white colour

=>so O cubes are unaffected

Hence number of unaffected cubes

=O+4+4+O
