There is no requirement in the question that the final shape should be a cuboid, or indeed solid or convex. In these circumstances it will be a very very large number.
Infinitely many.
Zero would be enough.

That is the property of thermoplastics. If they could not be formed into different shapes many many times then nobody would bother to make them.

With no repetition of shapes (symmetry) we have obtained 26 different combinations.

Infinitely many.
am i right at 123 ?

AnswerIf you have 5 cubes then you can make 75 different shapes, If you had 4 cubes then you can make 56 shapes and if you had 3 cubes you could make 7 shapes and if you had 2 cubes ten you could make 12 shapes and if you have 1 cube then you could make Infinity shapes with your imagination.AnswerYou will need to give a few more rules on this question. There could be an infinite number of shapes if the cubes don't have to line up with each other, or even touch.Is a shape lying down the same as a shape standing up?If they have to touch one full side against another full side does a row of 5 horizontally count as the same shape as 5 in a row vertically for instance.If you think of a die (singular of dice) with the 5 side showing are you allowed to arrange the 5 cubes in the same way as the dots on the die? In other words they would only touch at the corners.I know I have answered your question with a lot more to think about but there could be several answers - all of them correct, depending on the rules of the game.If you imagine that the loop in the letter "p" represents a cube attached to the top right of a line of 4 cubes what about the equivalent of "q, d or b" would they count as 4 different shapes or the same shape viewed from different angles (including turning it over)?

You can make four.
