Henry Ernest Dudeney/Modern Puzzles/145 - A Cube Paradox

by : $145$

 * A Cube Paradox
 * I had two solid cubes of lead, one very slightly larger than the other.
 * Through one of them I cut a hole (without destroying the continuity of the four sides)
 * so that the other cube could be passed right through it.
 * On weighing them afterwards it was found that the larger cube was still the heavier of the two.
 * How was this possible?
