Menger Sponge Quiz - Quiz Questions
Test your understanding of this three-dimensional fractal and its amazing properties.
1. During the 1st stage of Menger Sponge iteration, how many smaller cubes do we need to remove from the original divide of $27$?
- A. $1$
- B. $6$
- C. $7$
- D. $20$
2. As the number of iterations $n$ tends toward infinity, the theoretical **volume** of the Menger Sponge eventually:
- A. Expands infinitely
- B. Remains unchanged
- C. Tends toward zero
- D. Equals $1/3$ of the initial volume
3. [Calculation] How many miniature cubes does a 2nd stage ($n=2$) Menger Sponge consist of?
- A. $40$
- B. $400$
- C. $512$
- D. $8000$
4. Why does the total surface area of the sponge actually become "infinite" as iterations deepen?
- A. Because the cube becomes heavier
- B. Because each removal operation exposes more surfaces originally hidden inside
- C. Because we chose special coatings
- D. It is an illusion caused by light refraction
5. The 'Hausdorff Dimension' of the Menger Sponge is approximately $2.72$. Regarding the understanding of this value, which is correct:
- A. Since it has thickness, it is an integer 3 dimensions
- B. It lies between a plane (2 dimensions) and a solid body (3 dimensions)
- C. This is a calculation error, dimensions must be integers
- D. Since it is hollowed out, it degenerates into 1 dimension
6. True or False: If we have a real Menger Sponge-type radiator, under the same volume, its heat dissipation effect is theoretically superior to a solid copper block.
7. The Menger Sponge is a three-dimensional extension of which mathematician's "carpet" fractal proposed in two-dimensional space?
- A. Koch
- B. Sierpinski
- C. Julia
- D. Mandelbrot
8. When generating higher-order (e.g., stage 10) Menger Sponges in a program, the greatest challenge is usually:
- A. Finding matching colors
- B. The cube count exceeds memory limits due to exponential explosion
- C. Gravity will disappear
- D. Cubes are too small to see
9. Regarding "Fractal Antennas," which of the following is NOT a major advantage:
- A. Extremely small volume
- B. Wide bandwidth (can receive multiple signals)
- C. Can automatically generate infinite data traffic
- D. High gain
10. True or False: The generation process of the Menger Sponge is a "subtractive geometry" that continuously removes parts from a solid.
