How much dirt is in a hole 3'x3'x3'?

Hip

None!

Hole be empty by definition.

One Square Yard Of Air>>

Square yard?
That has to be American maths, in the UK the volume would be cubic yards.

OK---How much dirt does it take to fill a hole 3'x3'x3'?

O,K. What weighs more, 1 lb. of lead or 1 lb. of feathers? You'd be surprised how many wrong answers. I had an alcky buddy years ago that had all these barroom contests to play for drinks.

How many drinks did you buy him?

When I was in High School, back in the 60's. Was a bloke got around the Pubs and would make bets for beer he could put a lit match into a bucket of petrol. Of course many would take the bet. He would then take them outside to his utility and in the back he had a container ( bucket ) of petrol. The bucket was sitting in a larger container of dry ice so the temperature of the petrol was below its vaporization point. He would then place a lighted match into the petrol. No vapour no ignition.

AND THE ANSWER IS--------You can't fill up a hole, you can only make it bigger or smaller!

wait?
the UK still uses yards?

George, I never bought him any drinks, he was just a joy to sit back + watch. He had one where he would put a pool cue on the table + them show that there was no way a ball could go under it + then take bets that he could, without touching the cue stick. He always got takers. He would set up the cue on the bumpers + then for affect, move the ball back + forth to build suspense then roll the ball under the pool table. One that I used to do but took a lot of practice was to take my Buck folding hunter (carried in my back pocket) + while flipping a coin into the air, pull the knife out of my pocket + open it one handed + hit the coin before it hit the ground. I would bet that I could do it 9 times out of 10 + could too. I asked an old man (ex carny) that I worked with if he wanted to bet + he said those words of wisdom, "NEVER bet with a man at his own game."

OK---Talking about a cube-----How many sides to a cube?

Hip

Lamar, real English people never stopped using the old measurements.
It was mostly the ones who were too weak to stand up against the EU that embraced metric.
Sadly, some of us were not given much choice.

Square yards are AREA----Cubic yards are Volume!

Hip, how many sides to a circle? (inside + outside)

The answer to sides of a cube are 8---the usual six plus like a circle, inside and outside!

Philistines! HA! Most folks have forgotten even their basic math; I know I am guilty of it strictly by using a calculator to do sums that I always did before in my head. However Being in the sheet metal business, the geometric lay out of fittings are a necessity that can not be emulated by a calculator. Sad to say that now there are now CG machines that can build anything I can (while they are functional). Mine is a dying trade; mores the pity when so many are ignorant to learn.
