The cube can be dissected in multiple ways. There is one well-known dissection that decomposes a cube (or any rectangular prism) into its half, third, and sixth, using two simple face diagonal cuts. The idea dates back all the way to around 263 AD when a famous Chinese mathematician, Liu Hui, illustrated the idea in his commentaries on the Chinese Nine Chapters of Mathematical Arts.
