What is the number of small cube with no face painted

Initial total number of cubes = 343,
Number of cubes removed = 27
Smaller 27 cubes painted blue
Exposed faces of original big cube (3 faces with 9 cube on each face i.e total 27 cubes) painted with black
Without any changes number of cubes with no face colour is given by (6 - 2)³ = 64
Now because of removal of 3 x 3 x 3 cubes from one of the corner from each face that were not painted earlier got exposed and will get painted, so from 3 x 3 x 3 cubes 4 x 3 = 12 cubes got painted, and a similar number from 3 exposed faces of big cube got painted.
Total number of cubes with no face painted is 64 - 12 - 12 = 40
