"Nevertheless, the number of vertexes, edges, faces and hyperfaces (ordinary cubes) that make up the hypercube can readily be counted. The number of vertexes is just the number of vertexes in the initial cube plus the number in the final cube, or 16. Each of the eight vertexes in the initial cube is joined by an edge to one of the eight vertexes in the final cube, and there are also 12 edges in each of the two cubes.
