Because The Shape Is Wider :] And Because Cubes Are Light If They Were Bricks
you want to overlap the bricks. with cubes it's not possible to build a nice edge.
They form a stronger wall as they interlock
Rectangles can overlap and interlock better than cubes, which makes walls stronger.
2*2*2 = 8 cubes.
Only one.
Depends on the size of the brick! If they are 1 unit cubes, then 4 rows of 16
A rectangular prism that is 4 cubes by 2 cubes is made up of 8 cubes.
There is no limit to the number of cubes which can be arranged on top of a rectangular prism.

Cubes are special cases of rectangular prisms.
