Are 3 2x6's as strong as a 6x6 post And if using 2x6s is it strong enough for a beam to span 12 feet Posts and beams of 2x6s to b staggered to create a tongue and groove type connection for pole barn?
Laminating 2x6's is a much better idea, it won't twist like a PT 6x6, it is less expensive, and you can use a combination of lumber. I built a 24x 40 ' barn a few years ago for a woodworking shop. I used 4 pieces of 2x6, this gave me a doubled space at the top to slide in laminated doubled 2x12's ... I used 0.40 PT lumber at the bottom and regular KD above, I laminated the bottom with staggered board lengths... I used a 12, 10 and two 8 footers, I needed an 18 ' post to have 4' in ground and 14' above. I also used stainless steel nails below ground and regular above, a nail gun sure was handy. After the posts were in, I drilled holes and used a 6 inch 3/8th carriage bolt to reinforce the connection. I overbuilt my barn, went 8' on center, not 12'. Also I used a doubled 2x14 glue lam 40' long for the ridge, that way the building was clear span and I didn't put up collar ties. I used a regular plywood roof and shingles. I used one inch rough cut shiplap pine boards for vertical sheathing, came out nice.

How many 2x4s are in a bunk of lumber?
For 2×4s of any size, it is 294 pieces of lumber. A "bunk" is a collective quantity for shipped lumber, and each size of lumber has a different quantity for a specific type of wood.. 2x4 = 3 x 7 x 14 (294) 2x6 = 3 x 7 x 9 (189)
How many 2x6's need to cover 64 sq feet?
A saw mill rough cuts a log into standard sizes of lumber such as 2x4, 2x6, 2x8,etc. The rough cut lumber is cut to the actual measurements of 2" x 4", 2" x 6", 2" x 8", etc. The lumber at this point is very rough so it is run through a planner that smoothes the lumber by removing a small amount of wood on each of its four sides. The actual dimensions of the lumber after being smoothed is 1/2" smaller in both width and thickness so a 2x4 will actually measure 1 1/2" x 3 1/2", a 2x6 is 1 1/2" x 5 1/2", a 2x8 is 1 1/2" x 7 1/2", etc. A 2x6 bought by a consumer at a lumber yard is actually only 1 1/2" or 1.5" thick and 5 1/2" or 5.5" wide. A 1 foot (12") length of 2x6 is (5.5" x 12") 66 square inches. 64 square feet is equivalent to (64 x 12" x 12") 9,216 square inches. So it takes (9,216/66) 139.64 feet of 2 x 6 to cover 64 square feet. Ten 2x6's 14 feet long will cover almost exactly 64 square feet.

Is it worth the extra to build a 6 inch exterior wall?
It depends on where you live. If you are in a colder climate the up front cost of the 2x6 lumber will pay off over time. The extra insulation will be worth it.
