Now in an intuitive sense, this is obviously what the answer has to be, of course.

If you stack up a bunch of one-dimensional lines of length 1, 2, 3, ... 10, you end up with roughly half of a two-dimensional square of side 10.

If you stack up a bunch of two-dimensional squares each with sides 1, 2, 3, ..., 10, you end up with roughly a third of a three-dimensional cube of side 10.

So naturally if you stack up a bunch of N-dimensional hypercubes with sides 1, 2, 3, ... infinity, you'll end up with 1/(N+1) of an (N+1)-dimensional hypercube with side infinity.

So naturally if you stack up a bunch of N-dimensional hypercubes with sides 1, 2, 3, ... infinity, you'll end up with exactly 1/(N+1) of an (N+1)-dimensional hypercube with side infinity.

Now in an intuitive sense, INF^(N+1) / (N+1) is obviously what the answer has to be, of course.
