Donatello starts with a marble cube.  He then slices a pyramid off each corner, so that in the resulting polyhedron, all the edges have the same side length.  If the side length of the original cube is $6$, then find the volume of the resulting polyhedron.

Each of the 8 pyramids being cut off has a right isosceles base with equal sides 3, and height 3.

Using the formula for volume of cube and volume of pyramid, we have

Volume=63813(332)3=180
