You have thirty blocks unpainted. you have to make a prism so that those blocks are inside and aren't painted. our solution is that the closer the numbers you are using the smaller the number of blocks you have to use in your rectangular prism. For example6*5=30 so the blocks in the middle are lined up 6 by 5. You don't have to go as far up to reach the top unlike if you have 30 by 1. So if you have a number of blocks unpainted and they divide in whole numbers, try and get the two numbers closest to each other if not getting the numbers the same.

//I like your description of the closeness of the factors of 30. But what were your answers to the question (Least # and greatest #)?//
