How many cuboids are contained in an \(n\times n\times n\) cube? For example, we’ve got \(n^3\) cuboids of size \(1\times1\times1\), and obviously just \(1\) of size \(n\times n\times n\) (which is the whole cube itself). But we also have to count how many there of size \(1\times1\times2\), \(1\times2\times3\), and several more.

In the \(6\times7\) large rectangle shown below, how many rectangles are there in total formed by grid lines? [need to insert image]

Simplify \(F_0-F_1+F_2-F_3+...-F_{2n-1}+F_{2n}\), where \(n\) is a positive integer.
