A cube with side length of 20 is divided into 8000 unit cubes, and on each cube a number is written. It is known that in each column of 20 cubes parallel to the edge of the cube, the sum of the numbers is equal to 1 (the columns in all three directions are considered). On some cubes a number 10 is written. Through this cube there are three layers of \(1 \times 20 \times 20\) cubes, parallel to the faces of the cube. Find the sum of all the numbers outside of these layers.
