How to fit 27 blocks in 6X6X6 box?

I am having trouble with this math problem. The problem is how do you fit 27 4x1x2 inch blocks in a 6x6x6 box. Is it possible how do you do it? If it is not possible how come? Thank you very much!

    V = s^3 = 6^3 = 216

    V = 27 * (L * W * H) = 27 * (4 * 1 * 2) = 216

    The volumes are the same, so theoretically they could fit, but it really depends on how they are arranged.
