    for 3 faces answer is 8. For 0 faces painted (n-2). For 1 face 6(n-2)^2.For 2 faces 12(n-2)^3. where n=6 i.e cube root of 216.

    answer for qstn 1: 2
    only one violet face and its adjascent faces are 2 pink and two black, so the cubes having all three colors are two of the corner cubes of violet, ie answer for Qn 1:2
