Everyone knows the image above. It's the surface of a cube. If you cut it out, you can fold it into a cube.
A four-dimensional cube has eight three-dimensional cubes as its surface.
You can imagine it like this: I'm sitting in a cube with six doors in each wall.
Through each door, you can access the opposite cube via a side cube.
The starting cube + the end cube + eight side cubes are eight three-dimensional cubes.
These eight cubes can be connected to form a three-dimensional surface of a four-dimensional cube.
