That's a really boring question. A bit more interesting: if the cube
is cut by a single plane (not necessarily parallel to some side of
the cube) into two parts of volumes .3 and .7, what is the *maximum*
total surface area of the parts, and what is the *minimum*?

[...]

And what is the maximum total area you can possibly get by
cutting a 1x1x1 cube by a plane, if you do not constrain the
partition volumes?
